This car, finished in Brewster Green with tan hides, is one of 1736 BentleyEights produced by Rolls Royce during the timeframe of 1984 through 1992. The Eight has a shorter wheelbase thanthe Mulsanne or Brooklands, and a firmer suspension, yet the same 6.7 liter V8(fuel injected) is under the hood. The Eight also eschewed the traditional burlwalnut - instead, Eight's have solid Hickory throughout - a beautitfulchange. This car's woodwork is in exceptional condition. Most Eight'shave a 15" tire with an aluminum wheel. I have upgraded this car with the 17"Bentley Turbo R wheels. While the correct tire is an Avon Turbosteel, Iwent with Pirelli Scorpion Zeros - they are perfectly sized for the car and giveit a great stance. Next, many Eight's have a single rectangular headlight oneach side, similar to the Rolls Royce of the same vintage. I have upgraded thiscar with the classic Bentley double headlights. I think that this is asympathetic upgrade that brings out the muscular character of the car and thesedouble headlights became a standard feature in Bentley's around thistime. Next, I have purchased lambswool overrugs from Easi-rider in England. Theseoverrugs are simply incredible - my wife immediately takes her shoes off in thiscar; the lambswool is so soft and plush. Lastly, having experience with thesecars, I would like to make a somewhat contradictory point - these are Britishcars, hand-made and crafted, and low miles with long periods of sitting is notgood for them.
