Gorgeous example of a Bentley Turbo R. Not sure on the year. But cars like this, around here, are not common. This looks to be pretty much in perfect shape. I want it.

Also, pretty sure they're parked like a dick.

Those are awesome.

Any particular reason you didn't take any pictures with the whole car in it/in landscape view?

Spends life savings on Bentley. Shops a JC Penney.

I did, but accidentally deleted it. It's a new phone, LG G3, and I'm trying to get used to using it and figuring it out, and I deleted that picture, along with a couple others.

Haha. There was a 2015 Chrysler 200 that pulled up near it not long after, and I assume they spent their life savings on that, and shopped at JC Penney as well as a result. Funnily enough, there's actually not much difference in price between the two cars anymore. I found this one here for under $20k!

Not sure on their reliability, but that isn't a bad price considering they were in the realm of $200k when new. Major depreciation on these rides.

You are one lucky man. I never saw one up close. They are incredible cars

Wikipedia pegs it to be a 1989 model year or newer due to the quad rounded head lights (unless the owner updated it) but older than 1997 due to the wheel designs.

Yea you can buy an early Arnage Green or red lablel for 30 - 35k now.

Okay, that's what I was wondering.

I have a huge soft spot for 80's-90's Bentleys.

I don't see too many cars like this where I live, up in the mountains. Mainly what I see are beaters, and a lot of classics. Though, there is a red Ferrari 328(?) around, a purple Gallardo (which funnily enough, at one point was broken down at the gas station in town), an early 00s Maserati coupe, a Lotus Elise, and on extreme occasion, a Ford GT. Lots of new Mustangs, Challengers, and Camaros though. And at the big car show in town last month, I saw a newer Maserati, and two GT-Rs parked next to each other, all three in a row. Quite a sight. Everything else is economy cars and pickup trucks.

Ah, ok, that narrows it down a bit. I'm thinking maybe a '95 or '96 because it didn't have Maryland historic tags on it, and it was tagged just last month. I'd never seen it before, but man, I salivated at it. I'm thinking the grille is aftermarket though, because from what I can find, they all had the Rolls-Royce-esque grilles stock, but it could have been a factory option for all I know.

Those are some really nice cars, but for some reason, the R trumps them all.

It was factory on the '97-'99 models, which were given a styling update to bring them into the late 90s and out of the 80s.
