Stunning, original presenting Bentley
Presenting a very handsome Bentley
Brooklands in classic white with hand-painted fine lines in tan to its waist-rails.
The interior is finished in rich ochre tan Connolly hides with cream accent
piping and tan
The Brooklands is
powered by a 6.75 litre Rolls-Royce designed V8 engine with the Bosch fuel
injection system which provides ultra smooth idle and touring. Being a Brooklands it has the 4 large round headlamps
from the Turbo R and the full length centre console with gear-shifter also from
its big brother.
By the 1996 year,
Rolls-Royce and Bentley saw all the pertinent design improvements that made
these "last of the series" the best. Operationally, the most notable
being the transgression to Bosche electronics, eliminating the problematic
Lucas electrical ("Prince of Darkness") system that plagued the
earlier series. It also saw a completely revised dash with updated AC system
and, along with a host of engineering and technical upgrades, has the full
covered engine bay offering an up-to-date design appearance. Cosmetically, the
car has the revised and more integrated front and rear bumpers with the more
streamlined front grille. This is then set off with the more modern alloy
wheels which easily identify the car as 96-and-onwards. With all these significant
changes, the car is known as the "50,000 series" model, in technical
circles.
This one is a very
clean Florida and then Texas car its whole life so super clean underneath without any rust
nor scale of any kind. It is a well maintained example with a good clean Car-fax
history. It has recently been thru Park-Ward's workshop and anything requiring
doing attended to including all the hydraulics and braking system inspected and
overhauled as required (pumps, accumulators, gas springs, etc). Mechanically,
this car needs nothing. Under the bonnet, the presentation is of a
very high standard. It has not been precision detailed but simply kept clean
and tidy throughout its life.
The body of the
car is straight and the paint deep in lustre and consistency. It does have a
few minor little chips and marks but these are few and only show if one looks
hard. Otherwise it is very shiny without any fading, dents or dings. Rubbers,
mouldings, badges and external fittings are all in good condition.
The interior on this car is really lovely. The Connolly leather shows exquisitely
and is entirely original. It has never been messed with and yet presents
beautifully without any signs of wear and the leather soft and supple. The rich
burl walnut wood throughout the car is original and presents extremely well.
There are almost no hair-line cracks in the clear as normally seen on
Rolls-Royces and Bentleys after a few years. This is rare to see as even 2005+
cars show signs of lacquer cracking so this is a true testament to a low
mileage car that has been stored in-doors and looked after. Carpets, seats,
dash, headlining and fixtures are truly excellent and I best encourage you to
look at all the photos to fully appreciate how nicely the interior presents.
As part of Park-Ward's
maintenance program, all major electricals and features & functions are inspected
so everything is to operate as it should; windows, mirrors, A/C, heater,
lights, wipers, etc. This is a true, "take the keys and drive"
example with no additional budget needed to attend to any nuances or gremlins.
The car is of
very high standard and is an easy 10 out of 10 driver rating. She is 100%
factory original in specification in every respect.
~~ This very elegant Bentley Brooklands is a smart example. The
colour combination oozes road presence and makes for a wonderful addition to
any collection! ~~
