1995 Bentley Brooklands

The Bentley Brooklands has aged superbly like the finest of wines, with its softer and more rounded lines tempering its large size. The styling is indeed much more balanced and refined over its predecessor the Mulsanne, with the twin headlamps giving the front end a more sporting look.

This 1995 example looks very classy and has covered a mere 68,000 miles, which averages to just over 2,400 miles a year over the past 28 years. It has also had just 3 owners from new.

The bodywork of the Brooklands presents very well in the photos with the deep and rich Peacock Blue paint giving a lovely shine.

As one would expect for a 28 year old vehicle that has covered 68,000 miles, there are signs of use with a number of stone chips and light scratches present. There are some rust bubbles showing on the front right wheel arch, a minor bit on the o/s rear and some minor marks on right side corner of the front bumper. However, none of these detract from what looks to be a very nice, original and straight example and could easily be rectified over time.

The rest of the Brooklands' chrome trim appears to be in good shape with the famous Flying B sitting proudly upfront.

The silver alloy wheels, which are set off nicely with some white wall tyres, look to be in good clean condition.

And unusually for a car of this age, all the "fine-lines" are intact.

The interior of the Brooklands is inviting and sumptuous and like the exterior. It too has aged like a fine wine. The magnolia leather trim looks very good indeed and is set off very nicely by the contrasting blue beading.

There are some signs of creasing on the drivers seat base, back and on the side bolster. These could quite easily be treated by a trim specialist.

The rest of the leather trim looks to be in great shape with minimal signs of use and the headliner shows to be in clean condition.

No Bentley would be complete without its trademark wood trim and the dark rich mahogany dashboard, centre console and door cappings in this Brooklands look delightful. The photos show the wood to be in very nice condition with a lovely deep shine.

The rest of the interior trim and gauges all appear to be present and intact.

Moving to the substantial boot, the carpets look to be in nice clean condition and the toolkit is present under the rear parcel shelf.

Under the bonnet, the engine bay of the mighty but smooth V8 presents very nicely indeed and is generally in a very clean original condition, but we have noted some loss of fluid from the front of the engine, which we are unable to confirm if it is coolant or mineral oil. There is also some emulsification of oil in the oil filler cap.

The underside of the substantial sports saloon also shows to be in clean condition, with some minor surface rust visible which is not unexpected for a 28 year old vehicle.

The Bentley Brooklands has had just 3 owners from new according to the V5C and it comes with its Bentley owner book pack. There is also a stamped service book present, which suggests the car's mileage is correct. The last service noted in the book was carried out in 2011 at 63,688 by a Bentley and Rolls Royce specialist, with the car covering just under 5,000 miles since, with the car's MOT history suggesting it has been used very sparingly.

The Brooklands has a valid MOT Certificate until the 28th January 2024. There are a number of advisories that the new owner may want to address in the future.

There are also a number of expired MOT certificates included in the history file and 1 set of keys.

This 1995 Bentley Brooklands has both style and class in abundance and it looks fantastic in its Peacock Blue paint. We can just imagine how lovely that magnolia leather and rich mahogany wood inlaid interior must smell. And with that silky-smooth Rolls Royce V8 upfront, it promises to transport you and your passengers to their destination in absolute effortless comfort. If you want to arrive in style, we can’t think of a better buy than this classy Bentley Brooklands at our estimate of £12,000-£16,000.
