BENTLEY CONTINENTAL CONVERTIBLE

A reworked Bentley Continental debuted in 1989, with its most notable differences from the previous iteration being new alloy wheels, standard air bags, body-color bumpers, and a refined suspension system. The Continental received a four-speed automatic transmission (as opposed to the earlier three-speed) in 1992, as well as a glass rear window and an improved top. The 1993 Continental also had a more powerful engine, and a run of 8 turbocharged Continentals were produced from 1992 until the model’s end in 1995. In all, fewer than 600 Bentley Corniche and Continentals were manufactured.

The Corniche and Continental have always existed in the rarified world of the very wealthy and most have been maintained without regard to expense. That’s a good thing, because the brakes and suspension can be very expensive to repair. Expect to pay handsomely, and buy only the very best from reputable dealers or long-term owners. Demand full history, all maintenance records and a complete ownership trail. Once you have performed all of your due diligence, rest assured that you will be driving one of the most commanding cars of its era.
