Beautiful and mint Bentley Turbo R from the 90s at the petrol station opposite my work. Talked to the owner in the pay queue and he mentioned that it was soon to be for sale.....I said I might be able to afford to buy it....but doubt I could afford to run it. To which he replied that its not bad at all on the juice......"I get 7 or 8 around town.....13 or 14mpg on a long run!"...... positively frugal then! How the other half live!!!

Check it on the TfL site, and it comes up with this:

Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)​

This vehicle meets the ULEZ emissions standards​

You do not need to pay a daily ULEZ charge to drive in the zone, and are helping to improve air quality across London.


I know it's exempt because of its age, but I doubt it's helping improve air quality.

Maybe not - DVLA says it’s 1500cc, and K reg, so most likely a V4. IIRC the 2T had a more rounded front end and round headlamps

That was the V4 Ford lump wasn't it?

 

[baxlin]

Think so, yes

Was it related to what Triumph were using?

Dunno, but I think the Saab one was derived from Ford of Germany’s Taunus V4.

 

[slade1]

If it not 2 stroke, it will be Ford Taunus V4 front wheel drive power pack.
