This Bentley Brooklands R Mulliner came up for sale on eBay in December 2016 along with this Turbo RT Mulliner and a Turbo R plus a selection of Jaguars and Daimlers. Apparently the (now deceased) eccentric owner built up a small collection but most likely did not use them. The motor car has most likely been unused for several years. This vehicle sold on eBay for an impressive £13,760.

From the original advert:

Selling on behalf of a deceased estate a collection of seven Jaguars and Daimlers, and three Bentleys, please see my other listings.
All the cars were purchased by an eccentric collector, some never used, and parked up ! He unfortunately died about two years ago.
They are to be sold as seen for spares or repair, some may run, some may not.
To be sold to the highest bidder, 99p starting price !
The collection of cars is in Pensby, Wirral, successful bidders will have to arrange collection by low loader as these cars have been laid up for some time.
Please ring to arrange to view or with any questions,.
This Bentley is no. 40 of 100 and was last mot’d in May 2010.
This Motor Car turned up again in eBay in late 2017. Apparently it had been damaged while in transit on a trailer. The auction reached just £1,061. Hopefully the new owner will be bringing it back to life and not dismantling it for spares.
