Default Spur of the moment buy...
Well as some of you know I have been looking for a 928 to go along with my 944, but as owed to my ADD, while looking on ebay I was side tracked. I ended up winning a 1993 Bentley Turbo R. I have always loved the late 80's -early 90's Bents and this one caught my eye. It is black with white hides.

I've always loved the turbo R! Ridiculous amounts of torque!

Well I dont know much about the specs..info seems hard to come by for the older ones. It has 80k miles. I paid 1/3 of the book value so it was easy to get by the wife. It is being shipped right now. It goes on the truck Monday and should be here in Delware in 7-10 days. I was planning on Taking my kids to Florida for the summer, we were going to leave on the 8th but I might wait for this to show up and save the miles on my Lexus. It always more fun making a road trip in a "new" car! (as long as you have your credit card on you) We will see. Here are some shots of the inside...

That will look great when you show up at the track with the 944 on the trailer
in tow behind you!!!

This is my favorite body style of the Bentley line, good looking and understated, NICE FIND!

Beautiful car. I'd rather take a Bentley than a Lexus on a road trip any day of the week

nice find, those Bentleys are tanks. I was looking at the Rolls Silver Shadows herer as well, and will probably end up with one of those in a couple of years.

Not really. You have to figure that they both weigh about the same.




























Just kidding. Get over it shark lovers. Nice looking Bentley. Enjoy it.
