1998 Bentley Brooklands R Mulliner
Number 55 of 100
1998 Bentley Brooklands R Mulliner No.55 of 100. The Brooklands R Mulliner
was specifically upgraded by Rolls-Royce’s bespoke coachbuilder, Mulliner.
It was called the Brooklands R Mulliner and each one was identified by a
numbered plaque on the dash centre console. With upgraded luxury came
extra grunt from an uprated ‘light pressure’ turbo increasing the power to
325bhp and 446lb/ft of torque, to aid the extra power suspension from the
Turbo RT was fitted and big braking system from the Continental T. The
Brooklands R Mulliner was only available in RHD and long wheelbase. Our
example is number 55 finished in Atlantic Blue with dual tone Sand and
Pebble hide interior. Covered just 45,000 miles with service history from
Bentley main agents and specialists. Cosmetically all Brooklands R
Mulliner was given Mulliner features including: wing vents, polished
bumper tops, mesh grilles, RT colour coded bumpers, body coloured headlamp
surrounds, 19-inch alloy wheels, oval sport exhaust tail pipe, starter
button and Green badges. Customers could of course choose to have even
more exclusivity with a huge range of options for colours, trims and
veneers. In this case, No.55 was commissioned with dual tone interior
leather in Sand and Pebble with a split, hand stitched top roll, the top
half to be trimmed in Dark Blue hide to match the exterior. The perforated
leather steering wheel was also to be specially trimmed in Black and Blue
hides. For the veneer, the customer chose dark Walnut with no crossbanding
or stringing, the door tops were to be ‘roll top style’ and the gauges to
have chrome surrounds. Finally, the seats were to feature stitched Bentley
motifs on the headrests and the carpets and lampswool over rugs in Dark
Blue to match the Atlantic Blue bodywork. Inside remains totally original
and remains one of the best interiors we have seen on one of these very
special cars. The car has been
maintained to a very high standard by main agents and specialists, recent
work has included a complete front suspension overhaul including new road
springs and dampers. We have also replaced the brake discs and pads all
round. On the road the car performs faultlessly and is a pleasure to
drive. Presented in exceptional condition thought, this is a rare
opportunity to purchase a limited edition of the one of the last true,
English Bentleys.
