Presenting a very handsome Bentley Brooklands in ominous black with matching black Connolly leather hides to the interior. The seat piping is finished in a rich deep burgundy with this theme connecting well with the dual cream and burgundy hand-painted fine lines to the exterior waist-line.
The Brooklands is powered by a 6.75 litre Rolls-Royce designed V8 engine with the Bosch fuel injecton system which provides ultra smooth idle and touring. Being a Brooklands it has the 4 large round headlamps from the Turbo R and the full length centre console with gear-shifter also from its big brother. 
This one is a very clean underneath without any rust nor scale of any kind. It is a well maintained example with a good clean Car-fax history. It has recently been thru inspection and anything requiring doing attended to including all the hydraulics and braking system inspected and overhauled as required (pumps, accumulators, gas springs, etc). Mechanically, this car needs nothing. Under the bonnet, the presentation is of a very high standard. It has not been precision detailed but simply kept clean and tidy throughout its life.
The body of the car is straight and the paint deep in lustre and consistency. It does have a few minor little chips and marks but these are very few and only show if one looks hard. Otherwise it is very shiny without any fading, dents or dings. Rubbers, mouldings, badges and external fittings are all in good condition. 
The interior on this car is really lovely. The Connolly leather shows exquisitely and is entirely original. It has never been messed with and yet presents beautifully without any signs of wear, and the leather is soft and supple. The rich burl walnut wood throughout the car is original and presents extremely well. There are almost no hair-line cracks in the clear as normally seen on Rolls-Royces and Bentleys after a few years. This is rare to see as even 2005+ cars show signs of lacquer cracking so this is a true testament to a low mileage car that has been stored in-doors and looked after. An added factory fitted feature is Bentley "winged Bs" to the four door wood cappings. These are NOT an after-market add-on and are a lovely touch. Carpets, seats, dash, headlining and fixtures are truly excellent and I best encourage you to look at all the photos to fully appreciate how nicely the interior presents.
This Bentley Brooklands features the rear passenger video screen system which, for the day, was a very avante-garde and innovative option. Two Sony mini screens are nicely integrated in the rear of the front seat headrests.
All major electricals and features & functions are inspected so everything is to operate as it should; windows, mirrors, A/C, heater, lights, wipers, etc. This is a true, "take the keys and drive" example with no additional budget needed to attend to any nuances or gremlins.

The car is of very high standard and is an easy 10 out of 10 driver rating. She is 100% factory original in specification in every respect.
