1992 Bentley Turbo R | Liverpool, Merseyside

A 1992 Bentley Turbo R, the turbocharged luxury saloon that gave Bentley a sporting edge. The R stands for roadholding: stiffer suspension and wider tyres sit beneath a cabin of leather, walnut and deep carpet. A 6.75-litre V8 provides the pace. This car is blue with a cream interior, a combination that looks smart against stone, brick or greenery. It is in excellent condition, which suits close work with a camera. The tall, formal saloon body gives a strong presence in frame, and the pale cabin photographs brightly. Advertising and fashion and editorial shoots can use that dressed-up mood in both body and cabin. Film and TV productions set in the late 1980s or early 1990s get period lines and a formal interior, and events gain a dignified arrival car. It also suits weddings and milestone days. The car is based in Liverpool, Merseyside.
