The text taken from the advert:
1998 Bentley Brooklands ‘R’ Mulliner – number 4 of 100 & 21.000 miles only
Not only did we sell quite a few of these when new, we’ve now sold quite a lot of them in more recent times
The pinnacle of the SZ series of Bentley, the ‘R’ Mulliner is specified to the hilt, unique 18″ alloy wheels, wing vents, bespoke lower front spoiler with stainless steel mesch inserts, mesch grill, single exhaust tail pipe, drilled pedals, chrome bezels to instruments, dark stained walnut veneers, magazine nets to rear of front seats, embossed flying ‘B’ motifs to seat headrests, split top roll, steering wheel, chrome gear knob top, twin tone pebble and sand interior hides, red starter button and an inlaid ‘R’ Mulliner badge to the radio flap
This chap, number 004 of the 100 produced, we have sold to all owners except the first and therefore know her almost intimately – indeed I must have put on at least 2.000 of the total mileage myself
Condition, as would be hoped, is exceptional both mechanically and cosmetically with all books, papers, tools and lambswool rugs still present
The most recent owner is a local Chelsea celebrity, board member of Ham Polo, original diary columnist for Hello Magazine (sooo well conected its’ untrue!!) and keeper of “Christian the Lion” (just Google it…..)
A real character who has bought very many Bentleys from us, one of which he even exported to Australia for a year whilst he went back to sort out some affairs and then brought it back to England again – true commitment indeed
Having enjoyed the Brooklands ‘R’ Mulliner for a year now, and only really using it for trips to Ham and back, he feels that an older model is more his style and hence the desire to swop into another T2 or similar
Offered in completely immaculate condition, not even a Lion claw mark to the rear seats, this is in our eyes, the ultimate Brooklands ‘R’ Mulliner in completely original and correct condition – like buying this when 1 year old from JB’s no less
