vehicle description:

Bentley Mulsanne Turbo Lwb This is a rare car due to being lwb the Mulsanne turbo was made from 1980-1987 which in that time there was believed to be only 18 lwb models made. Comes with full service kit which i just purchased for £300 and new battery. Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1982 and produced until 1985 was the Mulsanne Turbo. There was a 50% increase in power thanks to the Garrett AiResearch turbocharger. There was the usual highly polished walnut veneered fascia, blemish-free leather and carpets and headlining of pure wool for the interior. 498 short wheelbase and 18 long wheelbase Mulsanne Turbos were built.
The Mulsanne Turbo was replaced by the Turbo R, which used a fuel injected version of the same engine. A British racing green Turbo has been used in the two James Bond stories Nobody Lives Forever and Role of Honour by John Gardner.
This bently deserves a new home to bring back to its former glory instead of being sat round not being used.
The private plate is no longer on the car as it has been transferred onto another car.
The car is mot ran out in April this year i wouldn"t expect it to pass this year with no work being done i know it will want cv gaiters at least. I managed to get it through mot last year by the skin of its teeth after it had been standing around just so i could use it for a classic car run and a wedding.
When we last used the Bentley after a good run i noticed it smoking a bit if left running i believe it just needs a good service and breathers cleaning out (common thing on these cars) still pulls and drives as it should with no running problems and no water loss.
The Bentely is in need of love and care its got a few rust bubbles coming through hear and there bumpers a bit wavy and trims getting a bit tatty and its had a colour change from blue to red but was done to a high stranded when done.
its still got the original blue carpets fitted but do have red carpet set to match the exterior.
i will try and put it threw a mot before the end of auction to see if it fails or passes. so might come with 12 months mot or a fail sheet
I would recommend viewing please feel free and happy bidding.
Car is in St Austell Cornwall, i can arrange delivery for a price if needed.
