This 1990 Bentley Turbo R is a one of a kind race car, and is constantly being modified to race in various race events organised by the Bentley Drivers Club, and the car is run under Phantom Motor Cars. The car started out as a factory Bentley Turbo R, painted in Sherwood Green and has been modified for racing use, although it is still road legal. The first official outing for this Bentley was at the 24 Hours of LeMans in 2003 with the Bentley Drivers Club. The trip to LeMans was a success, as the car performed brilliantly, covering over 1,500 miles. The car also drove a full lap of the track the morning of the race.
