It was based on the chassis of the Mulsanne and powered by a modified version of the engine from the Mulsanne Turbo. The chassis changes were especially key to the model's success. As this was to be an unashamedly sporting model, the front anti-roll bar rate was increased by 60 percent and that on the rear by 80 percent. Tuned dampers replaced the standard units of the Mulsanne and a Panhard rod was fitted to limit lateral axle movement. A front air dam was added for improved aerodynamics. The 6750cc engine with Garrett AiResearch turbo was retuned with Bosch MK-Motronic fuel injection for increased torque. The result was a stump-pulling 487lbft - sufficient to launch the leviathan to 60mph in 6.8 seconds and on to a top speed of around 140mph. Pre-1992 models drove through a three-speed automatic transmission, after which a four-speed unit was employed. Braking was by discs all round, ventilated at the front. In order to optimise traction and road holding, the Turbo R was equipped with wider tyres than the Mulsanne, which were mounted on alloy wheels - a first for the marque. Finished in the unusual but elegant combination of Diamond Graphite Grey with Grey-piped Magnolia leather upholstery, chassis SCBZR03A7PCH46719 was one of just seventy-nine short wheelbase, RHD Bentley Turbo Rs to be completed during the 1993 model year. Supplied new via the renowned Jack Barclay Ltd dealership and first registered as �OOV 1� on February 9th 1994, the sports saloon was specified with extended wood veneers to its door cards. Covering less than 4,000 miles since entering the current ownership in November 2019, the Bentley was running and driving smoothly at the time of consignment. Showing a little over 95,000 miles to its odometer, it is hoped that the Turbo R will possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. The rear windscreen area appears notably sound and indeed the condition of the interior is said to belie the car's age and recorded mileage. Fitted with remote central locking, �L662 WOT� is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork. Surely a tempting proposition at the guide price?
