Bentley Continental R 6.75 V8 Youngtimer, 1993. Three owners, 96,702 km, service books from new.

There are cars you buy. And there are cars you acquire. The Bentley Continental R belongs unmistakably to that second category. This is not a means of transport, this is a statement. A statement that says: I have made it, I no longer need to prove anything to anyone, and I drive wherever I please at a pace I set myself.

The Continental R appeared in 1991 as the first Bentley in decades that was not simply a Rolls-Royce with a different grille. Crewe had finally grasped that the marque needed more than badge engineering. The result was a Grand Tourer of 2.4 tonnes that looked as though a Savile Row tailor had designed a coupé. That distinctive shoulder line, that roofline sloping subtly towards the rear, that monumental C-pillar. This was British understatement in coachwork form. No shouting, no spoilers, no vulgar exhausts. Simply a small fortune's worth of self-assurance on four wheels.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 92 photographs including the underside. The service history, scanned in full. The Carfax report. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. The original factory brochure to page through. A timeline from 28 February 1993 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a single graph.

Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the showroom, and finally the live auction on our own site. What changes is the way you buy, not the location — once a car has arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This one is in the showroom and you are welcome to come and see it, no appointment needed. You buy it here at a fixed price: no bidding, no waiting. Our showroom in Katwijk, 30 km from Amsterdam Schiphol, is open Mon–Fri 9–18 and Sat 10–17. Call ahead and it will be standing ready, with someone free for you.

Within the EU no customs duty arises on this purchase. Registration tax and registration costs in your own country are not included. We supply the export documents and assist with the registration. The price shown is the full price for collection in Katwijk. We arrange insured door-to-door transport worldwide, cost quoted per destination beforehand.

Prefer a different colour or specification than this example? Tell us what you are looking for — another Bentley we can often find through our network of marque specialists and collectors, outside the listings. Have one of your own: we buy exceptional cars outright, classic or modern.

Our showroom measures 6,000 m², with over 150 cars under one roof. You are just as welcome if you are not buying — walk around, take your time and enjoy the cars; sharing the enthusiasm is half of it.
