1982 Bentley Mulsanne Turbo, originally delivered new in HONG KONG in 1982 and imported to Australia in JULY 1997, beautifully presented with a large file of documentation verified the restoration and maintenance records.
1982 Mulsanne Turbo particularly special is its rarity. Only 498 examples were produced worldwide between 1982 and 1985, making it one of the lowest-production Bentley saloons of the era. This limited production was partly due to the car’s exclusivity and high cost, but also because it was a relatively experimental model, paving the way for future high-performance Bentleys such as the later Turbo R.
Visually, the Mulsanne Turbo retained the classic, understated Bentley design language, boxy yet elegant, with a commanding presence. Subtle “Turbo” badging hinted at its enhanced performance, but otherwise it remained discreet, appealing to those who preferred their power to be quietly expressed. Inside, the craftsmanship was exactly what you would expect from Bentley: hand-stitched leather, rich wood veneers, and an attention to detail that elevated the cabin to a true luxury environment.
Beyond its rarity and performance, the significance of the Mulsanne Turbo lies in what it represented for the brand. It marked a turning point where Bentley began to step out of Rolls-Royce’s shadow and establish its own identity. The success and reception of this model directly influenced the development of the Turbo R, which would go on to become one of Bentley’s most iconic models of the late 20th century.
Today, the 1982 Bentley Mulsanne Turbo is highly regarded among collectors and enthusiasts. Its combination of low production numbers, historical importance, and distinctive character makes it a standout in the world of classic luxury cars. It represents the moment Bentley rediscovered its voice, a voice that would evolve into the high-performance luxury marque we know today.
In essence, the Mulsanne Turbo is more than just a rare car. It is a pivotal chapter in Bentley’s story, blending tradition with innovation and quietly ushering in a new era of performance-driven luxury. Worth every penny for only $59,990
