Equipped with a reworked suspension, brakes, steering, and wider tires on aluminum alloy wheels for improved handling, the Bentley Turbo R is a Type SZ Saloon specially designated for “roadholding”. It derives a hearty 360 HP and 460 lb.-ft of torque from a turbocharged 6.75-liter V8 engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. This 1990 example is finished in White over Cream Connolly leather upholstery with contrasting red carpets. It features a self-leveling hydraulic suspension, automatic climate control, heated front seats with memory, and burl wood interior veneers. Previously owned in Florida and Nevada, the Bentley is now being offered for auction out of California with approximately 38k miles showing on the odometer.
This Turbo R is finished in White with contrasting red pinstripes, chrome trim, and 15” aluminum alloy wheels dressed in whitewall tires. Equipment includes quad headlamps, headlight washers, chrome-accented bumpers, flared wheel arches, polished door handles, red winged-B emblems, an automatic antenna, and a rear valence with a polished dual-tipped exhaust outlet. The seller indicates some exterior imperfections including spider-webbing in the paint on the driver’s side rear quarter panel. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is upholstered with Cream Connolly leather hides complemented by burl wood veneers, polished touchpoints, red carpeting, and a red leather dashboard. Accessories include heated and power-adjustable front seats with position memory, a black four-spoke leather steering wheel, red deep-pile floor mats with contrasting leather edges, rear pillar vanity mirrors, automatic climate control, cruise control, and an aftermarket stereo.
The turbocharged and intercooled 6.75-liter V8 engine delivers up to 360 HP and 460 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission. The car features a hydraulic self-leveling suspension, front and rear anti-roll bars, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS. The seller indicates a service was recently completed in preparation for the next owner.
This sale will include a clean title.

@PEDIGREE11 I agree with you regarding the ties. I cared about the date codes because I was curious if they were new or if they were old... old meaning good, they would need replacing anyways... new, then I would know that a new set would be pulled off regardless and would maybe have some value to someone else who would be interested in them. Regardless, paper work showing what service was done and paid for... especially after it sitting for a long time is what would help with the final sale... these beasts are service hungry and are not cheap... like several LR models from the late 90's.

Can you provide some paint meter readings?
The car had been running great prior to being garaged for some time but we had our Rolls mechanic look it over and it runs and drives good as per the video.
Inspections both welcomed and encouraged
@bmwe30m3guy who cares about the date codes? Those horrible white walls should never be a on a Bentley. They will be replaced before the first drive.... Even if they were the correct tires and they are old, its very inexpensive to replace them. The tires are the least of my concerns.... But an absent seller has consequences, just look at the bidding ..........
Agree with @PEDIGREE11 about the service... that's a big component here. Date code on the tires would be nice to know too... not sure I'm liking the big white walls but they do have a distinct look to them.
"The seller indicates a service was recently completed in preparation for the next owner." what service? What was done.... Some details would be helpful.
