THE ESSENTIALS
This is a rare example of the highly desired 1991 Bentley Continental, being one of about 50 LHD US delivery examples with low miles and featured here in one of the best and most classic color combinations. The Magnolia livery is in beautiful overall condition with a gorgeous complementary tan interior. With a mere 41,000 miles accumulated since new this Bentley would be a perfect car for showing at regional concours event or used as a classic daily driver.
The Bentley Continental is one of the most highly desired Post-War Bentleys. The Corniche III’s are some of the most useable and enjoyable cars built, and the Bentley Continental version is really for the connoisseur of the marque to appreciate, as they are rarely ever seen nor heard of.
The first owner of this Continental was located in Miami, Florida and enjoyed the car for its first 20,000 miles. The second owner purchased the car in 2003 and brought the Bentley to North Carolina. The car benefited from regular servicing at Bentley High Point as it accumulated the next 7,000 miles. The Bentley’s next home was in South Carolina when the car was purchased in 2010. The third owner enjoyed the Bentley accumulating 40,000 miles and serviced regularly at Charleston Import Automotive. The former owner drove the Bentley sparingly to reach just over 41,000 miles over eight years. This Bentley has been well taken care of over the years and is ready to be enjoyed.
The Bentley exterior is in very good to excellent overall condition. The Magnolia (RR.9620038) paint is in very good to excellent condition with double tan pinstripes. The front exterior has very minor touched up rock chips underneath the headlights from normal use. The color coated bumpers, chrome and stainless steel accents are in very good to excellent condition. The Cream Everflex power convertible top is in very good to excellent condition, functions well, and includes the Tan leather top boot cover. The chrome 15” wheels are in very good condition and the radial tires are all new. This is a well-preserved example that would be a great weekend driver while being a beautiful collector’s example that can be proudly shown.
The Continental’s original interior is in overall very good to excellent condition with normal signs of wear expected for a 41,000 mile Bentley. The tan leather interior and cream piping are in very good overall condition with minimal light creasing from use. There are no cracks or rips present in the leather. The walnut burl wood trim is in very good condition. There are the normal small chips in the door caps from the seat belt after releasing the belt, which is common in these models. The cream Wilton wool carpet is in very good condition with Mouton sheepskin overlays.
This Bentely has air conditioning that blows cold. Features include power window adjustments, power locks, power seats, seat position memory, radio with cassette player, Motorola car phone, ambient temperature gauge and analog clock. The power seat adjustment panel shows wear from normal use over time. All instruments and gauges work as expected. This Bentley is in great condition and a wonderful example!
The Continental is a great driver and is mechanically sound. The engine is a powerful 6.75-liter V8 with a three speed Hydramatic transmission that shifts smoothly. This Bentley has Bosche fuel injection, power assisted steering, power brakes, rear wheel drive, 4-wheel disc brakes and dual-circuit brake and suspension system.
Service history shows that the engine mount and steering gear were replaced in 2006, the alternator was replaced in 2011, the battery was replaced in 2014 and tires were replaced in March of 2025, with less than 100 miles driven since. Most of the big tools and all of the small tools are included in the tool kit. A car cover is also included.
