‘PJI6757’ hails from 1987, the first model year of the “S” variant. The “S” carried through many enhancements from the range topping Turbo R, to give the Mulsanne a mid-life glow-up. ‘PJI6757’ showcases these, including the alloy wheels, interior upgrades and sportier handling courtesy of stiffer suspension. ‘PJI6757’ has covered 131,226 miles to date which is moderate for a 37-year old car with what Bentley described as “unstressed” mechanicals. Offered here with NO RESERVE and a detailed and well documented provenance including 18 service stamps and original manuals and book pack. The current MOT is valid until March 2025 to allow for immediate, elegant wafting by the next owner. ‘PJI6757’ holds a category N – non-structural – insurance marker from 2018.
Given the regal nature of ‘PJI6757,’ its Georgian Silver livery seems highly appropriate. Whilst ostensibly a rebadged Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit on the SZ platform, ‘PJI6757’ offers plenty of Bentley specific differentiators. First there is big, matrix meshed radiator cowl complete with “flying B” emblem. The 15-inch, “S” specific alloy wheels with big “B” inscribed centre plates also catch the eye, shod as they are with deep 70 profile tyres with subtle white-wall details. The paint and bodywork are rated “average” by the vendor with the bulk of the imperfections being located around the sills and wheel arches.
‘PJI6757’ seems to have been well cared for mechanically, throughout its life. Its mechanical provenance includes a new engine at around 34,500 miles, a conversion to unleaded fuel friendly valve seats in 1991 and a new gearbox and torque converter at 80,000 miles in 1995. Two service books with a total of 18 stamps between them and lots of supporting bills and invoices also bodes well for ‘PJI6757’s’ mechanical condition.
The spacious, leather clad, Oyster hued cabin seems to have lost none of its “special occasion” grandeur for which the marque is known. Just the right level of patina appears to grace the commodious and well padded seats and accompanying contrasting piping. Deep lambswool rugs are present, except for the driver’s footwell where it is noted that the carpet is worn through in places. Surely this represents an enticing opportunity to acquire an honest and delightful Bentley at a merest fraction of its original £90,000 plus cost.
In summary:
· An honest and original example of the enhanced Mulsanne S model
· In a very regal and Bentley appropriate colourway
· Complete with a generously documented service history
