The seller offers for sale this 1995 Bentley Turbo S, a limited-production model equipped with Bentley’s iconic 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 engine and automatic transmission. This vehicle is a four-door luxury sedan designed for high-speed touring with the refinement expected from a top-tier British marque. Only a small number of Turbo S models were produced, making this a rare opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts of hand-built luxury cars.
Originally sold and maintained in the Netherlands, with records supporting its current reading of 237,000 km. The mechanical condition is reported to be good.
The paintwork is original and presents well, with some localized touch-ups done a few years ago. There are no major dents, and the bodywork has aged gracefully, consistent with the reported condition rating. The car’s suspension, including its electronically adjustable dampers and hydraulic rear levelling, is functioning correctly. Recent maintenance includes replacement of the rear disc brakes, with the front units noted as due for renewal.
Inside, the car features a well-kept leather interior in good overall condition. The upholstery shows no significant drying or cracking, and gauges and the radio are reported to work. The CD player has been removed, but all necessary wiring remains for easy reinstallation or upgrade. The speakers have been replaced, ensuring better audio performance without compromising originality.
The Bentley Turbo S is a performance-oriented version of the Bentley Turbo R, introduced in the mid-1990s to offer discreet speed and superior comfort. Based on Rolls-Royce mechanicals but tuned by Bentley, the Turbo S was fitted with a Garrett turbocharger and refined suspension components to deliver sharper handling and more responsive acceleration. Only a limited run of Turbo S units was built, with some estimates suggesting as few as 60 cars worldwide, enhancing its exclusivity.
The model epitomizes Bentley’s 1990s philosophy—subtle elegance paired with brutal performance. Understated design and powerful capabilities made it a favourite among those who preferred not to draw too much attention while enjoying sports car performance in limousine comfort. With a curb weight of over two tons, the Turbo S still delivered effortless acceleration, thanks to the 6750 cc turbocharged V8, which offered substantial torque low in the rev range.
Unlike many other luxury sedans of the era, the Turbo S was hand-assembled in Crewe, England, making each car slightly unique. The attention to detail in the cabin—wood veneers, leather panels, and chromed fittings—underscored the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship. Models like the Turbo S were some of the last to be produced before the company’s restructuring under Volkswagen Group ownership, marking the end of an era for classic British automotive engineering.
