Please note that experience shows us that the photobucket of over 100 large pixel pictures posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a dealer will post all but the most flattering of professionally finished photographs. We prefer to post the many photos taken of the car. in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight. in order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree. West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely stunning and exceptional example of this gorgeous 1993 Bentley Continental R Coupe with coachwork by 'Mulliner Park Ward' with only 42K original miles in the striking original color combination of 'Arctic White' factory color paint with 'Tan' Connolly piped hides! The Bentley Continental R Coupe was a large. ultra exclusive. luxury coupe made by Bentley from 1991 to 2002 with only some 1. 36 Continental R cars built during its 11 years production run. It was the first Bentley to feature a body not shared with a Rolls-Royce model since the S3 model of 1965 and the fastest. most expensive. and most powerful Bentley of its day. It also of note that it was the most expensive production car in the world at launch. A convertible derivative was launched in 1995 named the Azure. The concept which later became the Continental R was displayed in Geneva in 1984 as Rolls-Royce's 'Project 90' concept car. a mock-up of a future Bentley coupé. An enthusiastic reception led the company to develop the vehicle for production as the Continental R. Based on the Turbo R platform. an aerodynamically shaped coupé body had been styled. The Continental R was launched in Geneva in 1991 and was greeted by the onlooking crowd with spontaneous applause with the Sultan of Brunei purchasing the show car on-site. The 'Continental' designation recalls the Bentley Continental of the post-war period. The 'R' was meant to recall the R Type Bentleys from the 1950s as well as the Turbo R of the 1980s and 90's where the 'R' refers to 'Roadholding'. The shape of the car was very different from the four door Rolls-Royce and Bentley sedans of the time. The Continental R featured roof-cut door frames. a necessity to allow easier access into the car which had a lower roof line than its 4 door contemporaries. A subtle spoiler effect was also a feature of the rear. The finished car is widely acknowledged as a very cleverly styled vehicle. disguising it's huge dimensions. The Continental R is a very well proportioned and extremely attractive car. Power output of 325 hp and torque of 450 lb·ft was estimated. as. at that time. Rolls-Royce still had a policy of not supplying official figures. preferring to describe simply as 'adequate' or 'sufficient'. At launch. top speed was 145 mph (233 km/h). and a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 6. 6 seconds. The Continental R was priced at $271. 80 in 1992. ($445. 60 adjusted in 2014 dollars!) This particular example was purchased new at 'Beverly Hills Rolls Royce & Bentley' of Beverly Hills. California on 6/22/1993 and will be sold with an extra thick file of service records showing that at no time was any expense spared on this particular vehicles preventive maintenance. The car will also be sold with its original handbooks. tools and Bentley umbrella. The car was originally always primarily serviced at the 'Rolls Royce/Bentley Newport Auto Center' of Newport Beach. California. This beautiful example has a highly desirable color combination of original factory 'Arctic White' color exterior paint with painted tan stripes. original Bentley chrome alloy wheels and with a gorgeous 'Tan' Connolly leather hides with matching piping and carpeting and which is in virtually flawless condition throughout. The original factory color paint reflects like glass. all the chrome work including the front grille and bumpers is absolutely outstanding. the leather seats and dashboard show virtually no signs of any wear whatsoever.
