This fine specimen surely must be one of the lowest-mileage, best kept Brooklands in the country. About $10k were spent in recent service/upgrades.
Selling new for about $186,000.00, this fabulously sinister-appearing ultra-luxury cruiser lived in Las Vegas, at the home of the owner of the famous Aladdin casino, for most of its life.
Used primarily to ferry illustrious guests between the owner's properties, the black sedan saw very little use, travelling just 27,583 actual miles in the past 26 years, a little more than 1,000 miles annually, on average.
Naturally, VIN *SCBZE02D5PCX46397* comes with a clean and clear history report.
Over-engineered to last a lifetime: the naturally aspirated - via BOSCH fuel injection - Rolls Royce 6.75-Liter L-series V8 engine, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, driving the rear wheels.
Bottom end is as spotlessly clean as the engine bay itself.
We're happy to report that the car features 100% original, factory applied paint. Having never been in any kind of accident, the coachwork truly looks stunning.
Bentley rolls on its stock 15' alloy wheels, shod with radial tires of the size 235/70-15.
An imposing conveyance, from every angle.
Mile-deep black paint.
Black leather headliner. Reportedly, up to 26 bovine hides were used to fashion each Bentley's interior.
Burled walnut wood dash and trim. Dual zone climate controls. Power e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
Wood, leather, and chrome combine to create a classic ambiance.
Analog gauges. They all work!
Details of a pristine cockpit.

Spacious rear compartment. Wool carpeting, foot rests, the works.
Impressive!

Pristine, rust free floors.
Friday, March 23rd was another fine spring day in San Buenaventura and we were looking forward to taking the Bentley for a cruise.
We must admit, the car drives so nice, we've been sneaking it out of inverntory and using it for personal weekend drives for a while now, including a trouble-free, very relaxing 300-mile round trip to Palm Springs' Modernism Week. Surprisingly, the the big car returned 20mpg, running most of the way at 80mph using just the cruise control.
Piloting the Bentley is pure joy.
Returning home, we are in lust with the Bentley. It's one of the most impressive, almost obscenely rich-looking cars we've ever had the pleasure to own.
It has been well-kept and comes with about $10K in recent records for replacement of brake wear parts, a steering rack, new window controls and a few assorted items.
Best of all, it's ready to be enjoyed. We also dig the fact that it's from Las Vegas and was owned by the boss of one of the OG casinos.
The ultimate in status and prestige, and with super-low miles, at the cost of a used Toyota Camry. What's there not to like?
Addendum:
We sold this Bentley in 2020.
