Some thoughts on this model
We are pleased to offer for sale this exceptional example of the rare and exclusive Bentley Brooklands R Mulliner.
Created as a runout model of the Brooklands, the R Mulliner was limited to just 100 cars with this being number 65. This is a car known to Ranmore thanks to its owner having used our services to maintain his pride and joy.
The Model
The Brooklands R Mulliner was launched as to be the ultimate and final version of the SZ based model. Using the Long Wheel Base (LWB) version of the Brooklands, performance was enhanced thanks to the use of the handling package from the Turbo R lineage and power increase to 325bhp. The engine is the familiar 6.75 V8 utilising a light-pressure turbo with power delivered in a silky smooth, effortless format. A stretch of your big toe will unleash a wave of torque (544 lb-ft) from low down the rev range, ensuring instant performance gracefully and without fanfair.
The engine is not the only special item with this model. Being the LWB version and coming with a wealth of notable Mulliner enhancements, the driver and all passengers are subject to a very special environment to make progress in. The interior featured a number of special appointments a details such as darker wood veneers, unique hide combinations, chrome instrument bezels, drilled pedals and perforated steering wheel leather to name but a few.
Outside, the car gives a few subtle clues as a nod to what lies within, a larger oval exhaust, vents to the front wings (known a Weybridge vents), 18" alloy wheels, green details on all badging and up front he commanding mesh grille wrapped in body coloured surround.
On the road the Brooklands R Mulliner is a sumptious place to be. For the driver you have a authoritive driving position from which to drive this special automobile, road holding is exceptional and the size of the car evaporates around you making it easy to place on the road and enjoyable to stretch the legs of the motor. For the passengers, they are rewarded with cosseting environment with plenty of room for them to also stretch their legs.
This Car
The current owner of the car has owned the vehicle for 25 years, having purchased the car when it was only two and half years old. The Atlantic Blue paintwork contrasts wonderfully with the exceptionally well judged Sand and Pebble two-tone interior. The paintwork is further complimented by the dark blue leather roll-top (which also reduces windscreen glare) and dark blue carpeting throughout. Finishing off the interior is the dark stained walnut veneers, overall it is an extremely tasteful combination that really does have a special feel to it.
The car presents beautifully today with only minor blemishes to the bodywork, the interior has been kept exceptionally well with barely any indication of use.
In Summary
This is a low-mileage, very well-kept example of the Bentley Brooklands R Mulliner, the pinnacle model of the Brooklands range. It's long-wheelbase offers additional room and comfort, while it's uprated engine and handling package ensure it's a particularly enjoyable model to drive too.
