Beautiful Bentley Eight, 6.75 naturally aspirated V8 with just one family owner from new.
Finished in green with gold coach lines and cream leather interior, electric memory seats, air conditioning, walnut capping, green Wilton carpets and usual high Bentley spec.
In very good order throughout, running and driving well at the time of our visit. The car has been extremely well looked after with a staggering service history with no less than 23 services recorded from 11.1988 until 04.1997 when the car was in regular use. The car was treated to new hydraulic spheres, manifold gaskets and bodywork restoration in 2001 at a significant cost of £3,500, along with new fuel pipes and pump in 2005.
There was a documented speedo head change at 76,670 miles in August 2008 at a cost of £590. Current mileage is 27,795 suggesting a total of c.104,000 miles.
The original purchase invoice for a whopping £50,674 is included from June 1988 by Mann Egerton Bentley. The service book shows 22 stamps plus the aforementioned plethora of invoices and the last service being in June 2009 at an indicated mileage of 27,181 miles by an independent Bentley specialist for £530.
Due to have a new MOT for the sale. HPI clear. An awful lot of quality and presence for the money.
Revised estimate of £7,000 - £8,000
