Finished in the stunning and timeless livery of Magnolia over Beige, this 1989 Bentley Continental Convertible represents one of the most elegant expressions of late-20th-century British luxury motoring. Hand-built in the traditional Bentley manner, the Continental Convertible combined imposing presence with exceptional comfort, offering open-air motoring without compromise.
At the time of cataloguing, this example displayed less than 20,500 miles, a remarkably low figure that speaks to its careful stewardship. Further enhancing its provenance, the car was formerly owned by noted Texas-based collector John Kotts, underscoring its place among discerning enthusiasts who value quality, originality, and presentation.
Powered by Bentley’s legendary 6 ¾-liter V-8 and paired with a smooth automatic transmission, the Continental was designed to deliver effortless performance, abundant torque, and a serene driving experience befitting the marque. Inside, the cabin is richly appointed with supple leather upholstery, deep carpeting, and finely finished wood veneers, creating an atmosphere of understated opulence.
Production of the Continental Convertible remained highly limited, with approximately 200 examples built for the 1989 model year, ensuring exclusivity and long-term desirability. Elegant, rare, and beautifully presented, this Bentley Continental Convertible offers a compelling opportunity to acquire a refined open grand tourer of exceptional character and distinction.
