1989 Bentley Turbo R review from France
"The last real Bentley?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has ever gone wrong on this Bentley.
General comments?
Why consider lesser cars if you can have a classic Rolls Royce or Bentley at reasonable prices.
Find a good low mileage one with service history and the car will be a lifelong joy.
Very fast, 100 % reliable, and oh so classy!
You should buy one even if only for the combined Connolly leather, wood and Wilton carpet smell alone, sit down and relax.
