Bentley Continental Continental Convertible DHC 1987

Allmän beskrivning : Vintage and Prestige are proud to offer this 1987 Bentley Continental Convertible DHC For Sale.
Registration: 1987 TBC
Mileage: 60,000
Chassis no: ZDH20723
 The incomparable Bentley Continental sports saloon has been synonymous with effortless high speed cruising in the grand manner since its introduction on the R-Type chassis in 1952. This magnificent tradition seemed to have ended with the demise in 1965 of the successor S-Type Continental, only to re-emerge triumphantly in 1984 with the introduction of the T-Series Continental. 
Flagship of the range, the new Continental was a worthy scion of this noble British family, impeccably engineered and hand-built in the time-honoured manner by Mulliner Park Ward Limited’s peerless craftsmen. Like its illustrious forebears, the modern Continental represented the ultimate in bespoke coach-built motoring, designed to appeal to those discerning – and necessarily very wealthy – clients with the most refined of tastes, a well-developed appreciation for the finer things of life and a refusal to accept anything less than the very best.
 Far from being an outmoded concept, this uncompromising approach was so successful, and demand for the exclusive Continental so sustained, that it remained in production well into the 1990s, the last (Convertible) examples being delivered in 1995, by which time the UK price had risen to well in excess of £100,000.
The essence of Continental ownership was most aptly summed up by Autosport’s inimitable John Bolster. Writing in 1958, Bolster noted that the Continental was a classical design that achieved a high degree of excellence by sheer quality of construction: ‘In doing so, it develops an individuality, a character, call it what you will, that makes it entirely different from any other marque. The man who drives a Continental lives in an enchanted world, for everybody calls him ‘sir’ and he may park where other lesser cars may never tread.’ Despite the passage of more than 50 years, Bolster’s words ring every bit as true today as they did then.
Chassis number 20723 was registered on 15th May 1987, finished in Acrylic Tudor Red, with sumptuous black leather interior and black mohair hood. With only 60,500 miles and with some 15 previous MOT’s to support this, the car is accompanied by extensive specialist documented history and freshly serviced with no advisories.
Previous owner of 18 years, supported by a documented history file from Jack Barclay, Bentley Crewe, Stratton, with supporting 17 stamps, and then Marque specialists Richard Parsons, Taylor’s, Ghost Motors and Silver Lady. The level of maintenance shows the meticulous nature in which this Bentley has been cared for and described to be in immaculate condition.
The Continentals of this era were some of the last coach built Bentley but also the last from Mulliner Park Ward. Only seventy seven examples were built comprising both the drop head convertible, such as this car, and its fixed head counterpart. Standard equipment includes ABS, Power Hood, Climate, ICE, full electric windows, seats and power hood. A true gentleman’s carriage and a scintillating prospect for the warmer days ahead.
