STOCK WITH VERY HIGH QUALITY REPAINT, 31K ACTUAL MILES, VERY CLEAN, RUNS GREAT!

In 1999, he Rolls-Royce/Bentley divorce was being finalized, ith Rolls-Royce going to live with BMW and Bentley awarded to VW. As a result, his low-mileage 1996 Bentley Brooklands is among the last of the big cruisers fully designed in-house by Bentley engineers and built by old world craftsmen. Original sticker price? Right around $165,000 before options, hipping, nd taxes. Assume the original owner was into this one for about four times the current asking price.Today you can enjoy that sybaritic hedonism in grand style without spending several years' salary to do it. The flagship Brooklands is instantly recognizable anywhere, nd putting a train's cow-catcher on the nose would not improve its ability to part slow-moving traffic. In typical Bentley fashion, he bodywork is beautiful, asteful, legant, nd sublimely finished to the highest standards thanks to a recent repaint in the original cream color. Even parked next to an S-Class Mercedes, he paint on this Brooklands is notably nicer, nd they painted the chrome bumpers and grille to give it a monochromatic look more akin to the racy Turbo R, hich is perfectly OK with us. There has never been any damage, o accidents, nd the car has obviously been professionally maintained from day one by someone who cared. It cuts an imposing figure, nd will never, ver be mistaken for anything else on the road. Show up in this one and people figure you're a captain of industry or a movie star, nd no one will ever guess that you paid less than a new Cadillac Escalade for it.Nobody else does interiors like the British, nd this one is like a gentlemen's club that can do 140 MPH. The hand-crafted interior features creamy smooth Connolly leather, etailed stitching unique to Bentley, eneered woodwork, ilton carpets, mooth chrome switches, nd a complex curvature for the dash panel and center console. Is it art? Well, erhaps, nd once you've settled in there you'll feel like a million bucks. There's some slight wear to the driver's seat bolsters, ut that's only because the hides are not over-processed, nd can be easily touched up. Big, imple gauges are spectacularly retro, nd every single component feels expensive under your fingertips, ith everything made of some natural material: wood, eather, r chrome-plated steel. And if you're lucky enough to be a passenger, he rear seat is commodious with more stretch-out room than a Suburban. Bentley quality even extends to the trunk, hich is upholstered better than the interiors of most production cars today.Power comes from Rolls-Royce/Bentley's legendary "six and three-quarter litre" V8, hich makes more than "adequate" horsepower in Bentley tune. It's more than enough to make this car formidable on the highway, nd it wafts along in eerie silence at anything below 100 MPH. The ultra-smooth powertrain also includes a 4-speed automatic gearbox, hose quick reflexes make the big car feel 2000 pounds smaller when the road starts to get challenging. Actually, ts mannerisms make it feel like a car that's begging to be driven with the hammer down, ust like the Bentleys of yore, ut it's actually most comfortable simply wafting along, ractically eliminating any tactile evidence of the real world outside the windows. With a fully independent suspension, isc brakes the size of trash can lids, nd fat 235/70/16 radials on handsome Bentley alloys, ts ability to hustle will astound you, ut it'll do it in total silence.Join the A-list for pennies on the dollar; we'll happily remove the sale price so nobody will ever know how little you paid for this incredible car.
