Since 1921, the Bentley name has remained synonymous with prestige, performance and luxury. The 'Continental' designation recalls the Bentley Continental of the post-war period. The 'R' resonates to the R-Type Bentleys from the 1950s as well as the Turbo R of the 1980s. Bentley's 1980s resurgence relied exclusively on models whose basic architectur..
The special edition ‘95’ cars were built to commemorate Bentleys 95th Birthday and just 15 examples left the factory in Crewe. The cars were fitted with a unique black ‘Flying B’ mascot and 21” alloy wheels.

From the 1987 model year, however, the Turbo R's V8 engine was retuned with new Bosch MK-Motronic fuel injection for added torque. Other modifications carried..
Launched in 1998, the Arnage was built and designed in Crewe under BMW’s short-lived stewardship and named after a famous corner at Le Mans. The Arnage Green Label was to be all new, and featured BMW’s proven 4.4 litre V8 with the addition of twin turbos and some serious engineering input from the brains at Cosworth. The Rolls-Royce Seraph was to e..
The R-Type is the second series of post-war Bentley motorcars and replaced the Mk. VI. Essentially a larger-boot version of the Mk. VI, the R-Type is regarded by some as a stop-gap before the introduction of the S-Series cars in 1955. As with its predecessor, a standard body was available as well as coachbuilt versions by firms including H.J.Mullin..
The Bentley T-Series was the Bentley badged version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, available as a four or two-door saloon with coachwork by James Young or Mulliner Park Ward.
