And one of them was Bentley Turbo R Wagon converted, they write foreign media, it's kept ongraphy.
During that time, the family ordered 11 units, but now only one last example remains.
Conversion of this model was made by Robert Jankel Dejan, and in addition to a longer roof, Turbo R also received a mobile system with all wheels.
This model comes with a V8 6.75 liters of turbocharged engine and costs approximately 12 times more than a standard Turbo R.
It is believed that two - color interiors are as a result of the colors of the Empire Hotel built by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's brother, Prince Geoffrey.
