Bentley Turbo R Extended Limousine |

For me this is a Bentley too but the plate comes back to a Rolls. Maybe the plate has been changed since the movie was shot? |

Don't sometimes people have a Rolls cosmetically changed to a Bentley and vice-versa? |

Bentley to RR, yes; I've never heard of RR to Bentley, there doesn't seem much point. I reckon the plate's been transferred. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also features in the African Child video: ![]() Although this is listed under Rolls-Royce, that might possibly be an error. HPI Check gives the year as 1985. The dashboard may provide some clues, this looks like it has the non-airbag steering wheel from the earlier models. This also has a name plate behind the front wheel arch. |

Now I know how the dashboard design changed over the years (and for different models) I can say this wouldn't have been a Turbo R originally because that never had those digital clocks, only the Mulsanne and Mulsanne Turbo did. And it is indeed a 1985 model because the digital display was redesigned and chrome knobs were added to the dash. Howver since there's no sign of any Bentley logo between the digital clocks, so I think this probably was a Rolls as Hpi says. The rear doors are LWB so assuming the front and rear came from the same car, that would make this a Silver Spur. To make it look cooler? -- Last edit: 2013-06-16 01:30:02 |

I've had all mine done - it was the only way I could persuade the servants to accept the installation of Perkins diesels in their cars. |

Changed to RR Silver Spur, based on evidence mentioned above. |

I think I've found a match: Link to "www.classic-auctions.com" (a Jankel conversion) 99BXH (obviously a cherished plate) is now on a Range-Rover, perhaps C650XLO was its original registration. -- Last edit: 2015-08-16 15:53:36 |

Old money = Bentley but only pre German takeover. New money, footballists, arrivistes, war profiteers, Royal family, = Rolls-Royce, or modern Bentley. You will, of course, be aware of my choice of vehicle. -- Last edit: 2015-08-16 16:04:49 |

From https://cazana.com/uk/car/C650XLO - "This 1985 Rolls-Royce on numberplate C650 XLO was first registered on 23 December 1985 near London NW. It had been previously registered under 99 BXH. This vehicle had 9 previous owners before the current keeper acquired it. It was painted blue/blue previously. November 2011 Numberplate change 99 BXH to C650 XLO February 2007 Numberplate change C650 XLO to 99 BXH" DVLA has C650 XLO as black Rolls-Royce, untaxed since Nov 2012. However DVLA MOT calls it a Bentley Brooklands with otherwise same dates/details, and it had done 100,661 miles at the last MOT test in November 2011, Pass with just one advisory for "near side rear wheel cover rattling". |
