Brooklands LPT & Turbo R

[Kickstart]

Is there much difference between a Brooklands LPT and a turbo R - drove a friends RT a while back and thought it far too stiff - does the Brooklands have the same suspension ?

Big difference in engine power. The Brooklands is 300bhp, unless it's a Mulliner 325, and an RT is 400. The RT has stiffer anti roll bars and don't forget LWB, so that'll affect the ride. If it was that bad may be the gas springs at the back need looking at, it shouldn't be that stiff.

Thanks for that - I had no idea that the engine power was so different - is there much of a difference with the non RT car eg a 96 Turbo R SWB ? If the interior the same ?

The 96 R is basically the same as the RT inside, though you may find a few detail changes in the woodwork and leather as specified by the original buyer. Power wise, the R is plenty fast enough for the type of car in question. Agree about the ride. By modern standards it can be a bit crashy, but I wouldn't call it hard. Active ride / dead spring problems are common and very pricey to fix, hence many are left alone.

The pick for ride quality and performance might be a "SWB" Turbo R from 1996 (ie not a LWB).
