This 1997 Bentley Brooklands is powered by a turbocharged 6.75-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and it is finished in Burgundy Red Pearl Mica over Parchment leather. Additional equipment includes power-adjustable and heated front seats, automatic climate control, burl wood accents, and power accessories. The car has spent much of its life in Florida and was acquired by the seller in early 2021.
The Brooklands was named for the British racing circuit where Bentley built its competition pedigree in the early 20th century, and this example is finished in Burgundy Red Pearl Mica with gold pinstripes. Other equipment includes bright window trim and door handles, headlight washers, and a power antenna.
Chrome-finished 16″ wheels are mounted with 235/65 Michelin Defender tires showing 2017 date codes. The brake pumps were overhauled with a seal kit in 2020. A tool kit, jack, and full-size spare are housed in the trunk.
The interior features seating surfaces upholstered in Parchment leather with St. James Red piping along with a burgundy dashboard, wool carpets, and burl wood veneers on the dash, center console, and door panels. The heated and power-adjustable front seats feature position memory, and other amenities include automatic climate control, power accessories, cruise control, organ-stop vent controls, and a six-disc CD changer housed in the center console.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer and tachometer, while a clock and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are mounted in the center of the dashboard. The digital odometer indicates approximately 23k miles.
The turbocharged 6.75-liter L-series V8 developed 300 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque when new. The air conditioning compressor was replaced in 2017, and the valve cover gaskets were replaced in 2018. Replacement fuel injector rail seals were installed in October 2020.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a GM-sourced four-speed automatic transmission.
