If you’ve always had an eye for older luxury cars with great driving dynamics, preferably from Britain, may we present this 1996 Bentley Continental R for your consideration? The Continental R was made between 1991 and 2003, and a mere 1,854 units were produced and sold worldwide. It’s probably one of the rarest cars, as there are plenty of Italian exotics with higher production numbers for example. This particular example is a 50,777-mile, numbers-matching example from Pennsylvania, and it’s a great way to experience what luxury was like before digital screens took over everything.
Exterior and Interior
The timeless design of this 1996 Bentley Continental R is highlighted by a smooth red paint job, and complemented by its aftermarket black alloy wheels. The front sports dual headlamps and an imposing chrome grille, with the Bentley Flying B logo directly above. Moving to the side, the sheer length of this car becomes apparent, even though it’s a two-door coupe. The rear, on the other hand, presents itself in a simplistic vibe, but of course, there’s another ‘Flying B’ here as well. The interior of this 1996 Bentley Continental R is where you want to be, and it’s a cream leather-upholstered affair with plenty of light wood accents. You’ve got features such as power adjustable front seats, a premium sound system, some red trim and red carpeting as well. There’s bi-level climate control as well, and front seat heaters for added comfort during cold weather. The only modern feature that we spot is an Alpine single-DIN head unit with Bluetooth, USB and AUX inputs. Everything else remains period and near-pristine. Even the spacious trunk is in great condition, and can swallow up enough luggage for several days on the road.
Engine
The famed "Six And Three Quarter" 6.75L V8 lies under the hood (or bonnet, in British speak) of this 1996 Bentley Continental R. The engine is turbocharged, but in a very laid-back fashion. In 1996, Rolls-Royce started releasing power figures for their cars, and they say that the unit makes 385hp at 4,000rpm and 550lb-ft of torque from 2,000 rpm until 4,000rpm. Power goes to the rear wheels via a GM-sourced 4L80 automatic gearbox. The car also features adaptive ride control suspension. Furthermore, we’re informed that there are new upper and lower ball joints.

Its factory specification adds several desirable touches, including the Colour Specification, Interior Style Specification w/ Contrast, Burr Walnut veneer, ventilated and massaging front seats, neck warmers, and 20-inch diamond-turned wheels. For an enthusiast looking for a Continental GT that delivers both occasion and everyday usability, this V8 Convertible offers plenty of both.
