History : Project 90 was unveiled by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd at the Geneva Motor Show in 1985 to wide acclaim. It was a full size fibre glass mock up of a future Bentley coupe, code named ?Nepal.? Six years later at the same Geneva Motor Show the Bentley Continental R was unveiled to rapturous applause. It was described as the ?first new Bentley since 1952? which of course is inaccurate. However it was the first Bentley not to share body styling with a Rolls-Royce for many decades. The Continental R had two things in common with its long lost cousin the R Type Continental, those being that the sleek coachwork styled by Mulliner/Park Ward was also designed in a wind tunnel and that it shared the same size 16 inch wheels, and was the first model to do so since the 1950?s. Its stylish lines were an immediate hit and although it was a new concept in appearance, the Continental R had some reassuringly familiar facets. The Bentley Turbo R?s 6.75 litre engine was fitted and the seating arrangement and dashboard layout were also very similar. The outstanding performance, elegant looks and excellent luggage capacity resulted in a Bentley that was very worthy of being named a Continental. During the twelve year production run relatively few cars were made when comparing them to the latest offerings from Bentley, making them in our opinion a possible collector?s item for the future. This particular motor car was completed in March 1999 finished in Sherwood green with parchment leather piped and contrasted with spruce leather. It has covered 47,000 miles and has a very good service history having been maintained by Bentley agents from new. Most recently the car had almost ?10,000 of mechanical works with a respected Bentley specialist with supporting invoices present in the cars extensive history file. It is complete with handbook, service book and tools and is ready for immediate use. A very fine example of this modern classic in the making.
