Gents,

Your help and advice will be appreciated.

Over the next few months I am thinking about moving on from my XJS (weekend/sunny day car) to an early 90's Turbo R/Eight/Mulsanne/Brooklands, or keeping the XJS and just adding the Bentley.

Obviosuly the Turbo R is what it says but what is the diference between the other three, is it specification level? If so, I guess Eight is the "basic" and which is higher of the others?

I've driven a 91/92 Mulsanne in the past. Is the Turbo R significantly faster?

Advice on specialist dealers? I'm in NE Scotland but happy to travel.

Thanks in advance.

Mark.

Thank you for your long reply, very helpful. Sounds like FI is a must - in a Mulsanne S, Eight to Turbo R.

I reckon about a grand a year to keep my XJS in top fettle, I'd be happy enough to go to about £2k a year, is that about right?
