The Bentley Turbo R is back! After a long time in storage, and some hefty storage bills we decided to bring the car home and try to get it into the HQ 2.0 garage! But wow it has been expensive! BUT, it is back up and running and I can’t thank both Karim at Pennant Classics and latterly Duane and Kyle at Starmans Rolls-Royce and Bentley Specialists in Nottingham. Between them, they have brought the car back from the brink. Go check them out:

What was the bill for the work done mate? Great video. Looking at getting my first Turbo in next few months. Owned a shadow but not enough oooopmh
👍 I was waiting for you to get back to your Bentley Turbo R..Although i know there is certainly no practical reason to buy or own one of these old-school Bentleys. I always wanted one one . But instead ended up buying a non – Turbo Bentley Brooklands instead. Although at time of purchase in near perfect condition. Have still had to spend lots of money 💵 on it. But remember life is short, why not try and enjoy it !. Great video thanks….😊
I also own in my small collection of modern classic cars. A Silver Spirit mark IV last of line 1996, quite rare with only 144 produced with the standard wheelbase. They really are wonderful vehicles, but very problematic Due to the modern electronics they contain, especially when sitting in your garage for too long un used…..
From the Late Brake Show video, the leak of the mineral oil on the Turbo R is nothing to worry about. It's where the over flow pipe dumps the mineral oil when it has been filled up too much. It often happens when the car has sat for a while and the rear dampers have sunken, which pushed out the excess mineral oil through the overflow pipe exactly where it has leaked from.
