For Sale: 1995 Bentley Continental in Phoenix, Arizona for sale in Phoenix, AZ
Vehicle Description This is an exceptional example of the curvaceous and high performing 1995 Bentley Continental R.
The coachwork is pure Mulliner-Park Ward and has a classical elegance that looks contemporary today.
When new, this was a $270,000 motorcar and this is one of only 85 examples of the LHD Continental R produced for the 1995 model year.
This Bentley has had three owners from new and has been impeccably maintained by Bentley dealerships.
This Bentley is in remarkable condition, belying the fact that its 28 years old having covered 60,000 miles (97,000 kilometers).
This Bentley was special ordered on May 31, 1994, by Cornes and Company for delivery to Japan.
Arriving at Yokohama on the Frankfurt Express on the 17th of September 1994, this was ordered as a LHD example likely with the intent of selling it to North America after being enjoyed by its first owner.
Japan has very strict annual motor vehicle inspections and cars in Japan are typically very well maintained as a result.
By October of 2015 and having accumulated 47,000 miles, this Bentley was exported to Vancouver, BC.
Its third and present owner is Kim Spencer who has maintained this Bentley mainly at Bentley Vancouver.
Mr.
Spencer is the type of collector you want to buy a car from.
He researched the weak areas of the Bentley and proactively addressed these.
In addition, he collected a wonder assortment of items that will come with the car, including Bentley umbrellas, a Bentley picnic basket and custom Magnolia leather pillows emblazoned with the Flying B logo for the rear seats.
This R comes complete with a large portfolio of factory build records and service receipts since being in North America.
It would likely perform very well at RROC or other concours events.
The livery is striking in the classic color of Racing Green, being accented 17 Bentley seven spoke alloy wheels.
The paint is original and in excellent condition.
There are only a few very small imperfections on the exterior.
None of these are noticeable without very close scrutiny (which is our job to point out).
The front grill has been upgraded to the impressive newer chrome matrix grill.
As stunning as the exterior appears, the interior we believe to be simply gorgeous.
Displayed with soft Magnolia leather with Spruce leather piping, the interior shows little to no wear.
The headliner is Magnolia leather and the dash pad, and all four armrests are contrasted in Spruce leather and look fantastic.
The beautiful burled walnut veneers are in very nice condition with only a small number of cracks in the door caps.
The Wilton wool carpet is presented in Conifer with Magnolia binding throughout.
The carpet is protected by the Conifer sheepskin mouton overlays that are in nearly new condition.
This example is consistent with Bentleys country club ambiance.
We love seeing interiors that have been so beautifully maintained as this example.
The true heart of the Continental R is the engine and drivetrain.
The entire drivetrain is based on the Turbo R, and it shared all of its components.
Built with the venerable Bentley turbocharged 6.
75-liter V8, the Rs had 385 bhp and an incredible 500 ft-lbs.
of torque available at just 2,000 RPMs.
This provided the power to achieve 155 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 5.
9 seconds.
The power is transmitted through the tried-and-true GM 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission.
And this performance is from a motorcar weighing more than two tons! As mentioned, all of the mechanical service issues have been proactively addressed, including the Fuel rail O-rings, engine valley seals, mineral oil pumps, steering rack rebuilt, power seat and alarm batteries updated, hoses and belts and accumulators replaced.
This Bentley comes complete with all of its books, extra sets of keys, tools, safety equipment and service records.
We have this priced right at between the Hagerty No.
1 and 2 values , which we believe to represent this example fairly.
Everything works as it should.
We completed a detailed inspection and found everything to be in proper order.
This Bentley is ready to show, drive and enjoy.
