Lot 117: Bentley Eight

The Bentley Eight another step in the progression towards a more sporting image for the Marque and the realisation that the sporting heritage of Bentley had been ignored by Rolls Royce for too long. With its trusty 6.7 litre V8 engine, chrome mesh grill and alloy wheels the Eight could provide the luxury and finesse usually associated with a Bentley but the model also had a sporty appearence, which was aimed squarely at the younger buyer and owner/driver. This 1990 example is said to have covered just 4000 miles since 2003 and just 98000 miles from new. The car is equipped with the usual options associated with the marque, which inlcude power seats and windows, split leve air conditioning, sound system, auto transmission and hand trimmed interior.
