Details:
Sales of Bentleys had fallen so low during the T-series era that Rolls-Royce considered axing the marque. Fortunately, the decision was taken to make the Winged B cars more sport and the rest is history. The renaissance started with the Mulsanne Turbo of 1982. While the looks didn't’t differ much from the equivalent Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit or standard Mulsanne, attached to the 6750cc V8 engine was a Garrett AirResearch turbocharger which increased power by around 50%. Being Rolls-Royce, what this figure was wasn't’t actually announced officially.

Selling for over £58,000 when new IN 1982 the Mulsanne Turbo appealed to a whole new range of customers,who were younger and more sports minded. The model remained in production until 1986, when it was replaced by the even more sporty Turbo R.

Offered here is a late model Mulsanne Turbo. which comes complete with service history via 18 main dealer stamps in the service booklet and a number of invoices and previous MoT certificates.

Finished in Brooklands green with oatmeal hide interior, the car is described as being in good condition throughout, with age related wear. It will be presented at the sale with an MoT through to February 2014 and has tax up until the end of February 2013. This means that, subject to insurance, the new owner can drive his acquisition home.
