THE BROOKLANDS

By the end of the 1980s, Rolls-Royce's re-branding of Bentley, begun in 1982 with the launch of the Mulsanne Turbo, had proved an outstanding success. However, the sales graph that had climbed steadily upwards throughout the decade, reaching its peak in 1989, would plunge dramatically within just a couple of years because of the prevailing economic recession. Rolls-Royce responded by rationalizing the Bentley range, dropping the normally-aspirated Mulsanne and Eight saloons and introducing the evocatively named Brooklands, the latter being in effect a Turbo R minus turbocharger but retaining the R's sports suspension and adaptive damping control.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

Sporting a nationalistic scheme of British Racing Green over a lavishly appointed cognac leather interior, this Bentley Brooklands was delivered new in the early 1990s to a gentleman residing in Breazy Point, New York. Roughly 40,000 miles and 7 years later, the vehicle exchanged hands to a Connecticut resident who would go on to enjoy the substantial piece of British Steel for another 10,000 miles. Just after a few years, the vehicle received its most recent long-term owner responsible for many more miles of happy motoring accruing on the odometer. Throughout its life, the vehicle has been well taken care for and cosmetically shows in fair condition with the sort of wear one can expect from a car that has been frequently used. Furthermore, an aftermarket entertainment suite has been installed which includes headrest mounted video screens for those longs haul drives.

A considerably expensive car in its day, this Bentley can be had for a modest price yet offers both immense road presence and the peak of Anglo-Luxury.
