1988 Bentley Continental for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to present this exquisite 1988 Bentley Continental Convertible featured in iconic British Racing Green with Tan leather interior, piped in green, and matching Tan convertible top and boot cover. The body is highlighted by fine tan pinstriping.
The Bentley Continental Convertible is very rare compared to the corresponding Rolls Corniche Convertible, and it is considered more desirable because of its understated front end styling and Bentleys sporting heritage. Between 1985 and 1989 a total of only 195 Continental Convertibles were sold worldwide, of which a small percentage came to the United States. Historic data and value guides show that the Continental brings a substantial premium over its Rolls Corniche cousin.
Our car has been cherished since new, and has covered only 33,633 miles. For 1988 the Bentley Continental received the same upgrades that led Rolls-Royce to change the designation of their car to Corniche II. Upgrades include rack and pinion steering, alloy wheels, airbags, ABS and bi-level air-conditioning. The car is powered by Rolls renowned 6.75 Liter V-8 with Bosch fuel injection and features a four speed automatic transmission.
This Bentley comes to us from a long-term owner and he purchased the car from us perhaps a decade ago. Recent work includes a new convertible top, brakes, and steering column rebuild. It has a Pioneer sound system, and it is a delight to drive.
With their Mulliner Park Ward coachwork, and bespoke quality, the best examples of these fine convertibles will be treasured by collectors for decades to come. This is a fine example of a very rare car in arguably the best color combination. Your inspection is invited.
