Fuck it I am a Bentley owner again. They don't get much cheaper than this one at £1370 for a running driving Turbo R. It is a scruffy old thing but should be a bit of fun.

What's wrong with it?

Seems to be a buyers market at the moment

It needs welding to wheel arches and sills, a pair of broken front springs but replacements come with it and the brakes want looking at. If worst come to the worst it will give me a turbo engine and box to put aside to build a Turbo R Shadow one day.

I'd love a Turbo R one day. But there is no way I could even pretend I can afford to run one.

I've watched all this series


Interesting for to see someone with no mechanical or much welding knowledge fix one up in his dads back garden.

Always fancied one, but not so much now

Well I wasn't sure if the seller would go through with it but the car is all paid for and being collected on Tuesday to be delivered wednesday morning. £1370 for the car and £470 delivery so £1840 for a turboR they don't get any cheaper.
