Description

  This is an exceptional example of the curvaceous and high

  performing 1995 Bentley Continental R. The present collector-owner

  has named this Bentley "James." The coachwork is pure Mulliner-Park

  Ward and has a classical elegance that looks contemporary today.

  When new, James 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. James 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, James 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 wonderful

  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. James

  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. James 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. James is ready to show, drive and enjoy. For

  more details and information please call or text Harry Clark at

  1. or email us at [email protected]. The

  Bentley is available for inspection at our Phoenix showroom. We are

  pleased to offer FaceTime or WhatsApp live video inspections and we

  help coordinate shipping worldwide. We also have financing partners

  if you are interested in financing.
