Hi All,

New to forum,

I have just managed to get a 1997 Bentley Turbo RT, and wondered if there were any opinions around, or pearls of wisdom.

Thanks for the information,

I am setting up a list of things to do, I will make sure that I query the ride height when she next has a service.

I think its important to experience the car at its best.

I am hoping to use it quite regularly.

Regards,

Steve

Hi ,

My car came from Suffolk.

It belonged to a professional couple, and as they had just purchased a Continental GT (such hardship) it came up for sale. I think I was in the right place at the right time.

Apparently an earlier owner of the car was also in pursuit of the RT.

I am having to make a sacrifice to own the RT as I have promised my wife that I will sell an E39 Alpina Touring B10 V8 that I own. I have put it on the Alpina register forum but it has not sold yet, I am sort of keeping my fingers crossed that it does not.

Re my RT, It has a full history and it is in good condition. The chap used it regularly. I managed to catch up with the Rolls/Bentley specialist that looked after the car, and he commented that it wanted for nothing over the last couple of years under their ownership,

There is an RT for sale at the Jade Motor Company in Scole near Diss, and there was one on eBay with no history and a few problems but I think that one sold.

Hi,
That's excellent news.
The spec sounds lovely.
Have you any photos to post?

Lets hope we can catch up at a meeting some day to compare notes.
If you are ever in Suffolk come and have a chat.

Regards,

Steve.

What did you have to do to the brakes?
