Bentley Sports Estate

This Bentley Sports Estate is one very special car to do the grocery run in.



It has a bit more room in the back than standard.



Take a look yourself.



It was made by Jankel and is based on the Bentley Turbo R.





The car is badged a Bentley Val d'Isere, but is different to the standard Jankel made Estate or station wagon as it has a unique front end. The standard Bentley Val d'Isere had a Bentley Turbo R front.



This car sports a similar look up front to the Bentley Continential R, not the Bentley Turbo R standard Val d'Isere.



It is presumed that this car was specially coachbuilt for the Royal Family of Brunei.



It features a hydraulic four wheel drive system, where two motors are fitted to the front hub section on the front wheels, and are driven by a hydraulic pump connected to the transmission. Quite unique. It is for first gear only and disengages after 30mph.



A total of fifteen Bentley Sports Estates were made for the Royal Family of Brunei. The first in 1991, followed by six more cars in 1993, and a final run of eight cars in 1995.



Here are the VIN numbers of the Bentley Sports Estate Car made for the Royal Family of Brunei.

It is presumed that this car is SCBZR03AXMCH35659 the first car made in 1991. This car was featured on Bentley Spotting a year ago when it was for sale by The Chelsea Workshop London. The previous post is here. The car is still for sale at the same price of £135,000.



What really is unique about this car is the front. It is certainly far from standard.

The Bentley Sports Estate has Bentley Continential R front indicators, and under headlight mesh also from the Continential R.



What is not on any other cars known is mesh around the front circular headlights. Very unique. Very bespoke.



The car certainly look the part. One very nice shopping companion.
