1994 Bentley Brooklands **two Owners, Meticulously Maintained, Must See** on 2040-cars
Ankeny, Iowa, United States
BEAUTIFUL 1994 BENTLEY BROOKLANDS I am the second owner. Original owner traded in on a new vehicle purchase in February of this year. Vehicle has always passed emissions and safety testing in NY. I called the dealership where the car was sold new and serviced for 20 years and they said it was always maintained extremely well and owner never skimped on needed repairs It is in fantastic condition overall, hard to believe it's 20 years old. Vehicle drives as well as it looks. The 6.75L engine is very smooth, the A/C is colder than you would desire, the burl and walnut wood is in excellent condition, there is no damage history, all paint appears to be original, the painted pinstripe is even in perfect condition. The Yokohama tires look new and I have two keys for the wheels, as well as, three ignition keys. Owner's manuals are included as well. I replaced the rear spheres approx. 300 miles ago Only two modifications have been made. DVD/VCR players with screens in the head rests and the headlight bezels are painted to match the car. The car is racing green so it's hard to tell in the pics, but I always have them painted to match the color because it makes these cars look much newer The
few imperfections I can find are the following: There is a very
small rust spot developing on the right bottom corner of the rear
window, there are some scratches in several of the openings of the
wheels due to cleaning with an improper material (very hard to
notice), there is light wear on the drivers seat, the seat memory
does not appear to work (they never do for some reason), and the
front passenger window regulator needs replaced. I have over 100 pics available. Contact me for the link There is a lien on the car and Iowa is an electronic title state which means the title will be printed and mailed to my upon lien being paid off. That process takes approx. 3 days. I received a photo copy of the title and would be happy to forward it, along with my registration to buyer. In addition, I will overnight title to buyer same day it is received Call/text
515.783.7077 with any questions or offers. I would be happy to pick
the buyer up at the airport, or assist in arranging transport, I have
a fantastic transport broker |

Bentley warns its 6.0-liter W12 engine won't survive beyond 2026
Fri, Nov 6 2020Bentley confirmed it will only sell plug-in hybrid and electric models by 2026, so its W12 engine will either be axed. Autoblog learned from a company spokesperson that the latter solution has been chosen. "No more W12," a representative replied when we asked what the future holds for the engine. It's a tectonic shift for Bentley, which proudly calls itself one of the industry's largest manufacturers of 12-cylinders. What remains to be seen is when the 6.0-liter will retire. Jan-Henrik Lafrentz, Bentley's board member for finance, affirmed there is "a lot of mileage left in [the W12]," which suggests it's not going away in the coming days, weeks, or months. Its days are undoubtedly numbered, however, which shows the British firm isn't afraid to make difficult decisions to keep up with regulations and market demand. It illustrated this point well when it axed the Mulsanne, its flagship model in the 2010s, earlier in 2020. Pivoting toward electric powertrains gives it an opportunity to return to the segment; sedans normally return better range than comparable SUVs because they tend to be lighter and more aerodynamic. Will it? Executives didn't say a comeback is imminent, but they didn't rule it out, either. "The market for big sedans is interesting. It has changed a lot over the past 20 years. It's not in a growth phase. While we have a great heritage in that space, we have a perfect sedan with the Flying Spur, so let's see what evolves as we release and reveal our electric car strategy," said company boss Adrian Hallmark. Bentley's first series-produced electric car is tentatively due out in 2025. Built on a new platform, it will be the first in a full range of EVs, and the company pledged to phase out the internal combustion engine by 2030.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
Bentley hits two milestones nearly a century apart at the same time
Fri, Aug 20 2021Bentley's Mulliner division completed two customer cars that couldn't be more different. It finished the first Bacalar, a futuristic-looking roadster related to the Continental GT, and it wrapped up the first Blower continuation car. Each limited to 12 examples, the Bacalar and the Blower are customer-configured special projects that are built largely by hand, so signing off the first examples is a major accomplishment. Bentley isn't able to reveal the identity of the person who purchased either. The first Blower is painted in Birkin Green as a tribute to one of original Blowers, which was built and raced by Sir Tim Birkin. Its wire wheels are also green, and its soft top is black. Mechanically, the first continuation Blower is identical to the 1929 car, meaning it's powered by a supercharged, 4.4-liter four-cylinder engine, but Bentley made a handful of small changes in the name of safety and convenience. First, it fitted electric fuel pumps and added a foam baffle to the fuel tank. Second, it added a dynator that it describes as "a reworked alternative to the original dynamo." Everything inside the four-cylinder is a re-creation of the original engine, down to the aluminum pistons. It develops 240 horsepower, which was amazing in 1929. Back in the 21st century, the first Bacalar is finished in Atom Silver with Moss Green and gloss black exterior accents. It rides on 22-inch wheels. Beluga leather upholstery dominates the cabin, and the owner commissioned a sprinkling of black and green to create a visual link between the exterior and the interior. Bentley delivered the car with a set of leather-upholstered luggage, and it placed the key in a box that's upholstered with the same leather. Power for the Bacalar comes from a twin-turbocharged, 6.0-liter W12 that delivers 650 horsepower and 667 pound-feet of torque. It spins the four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission connected to shift paddles. While this is an existing powertrain, Bentley nonetheless put the Bacalar through extensive durability tests in 2020. Both models are on their way to their new home. Keep your eyes peeled at the next cars and coffee event; who knows, one might make a surprise appearance. Bentley previously said the Bacalar would be sold in America under the Show and Display rule, so some of the production run will likely end up here. In the meantime, the men and women in Bentley's Mulliner workshop have already started building the next three examples in each series.
