Bentley Continental. 1984–95 (prod. 429, incl. 8 Turbo). 2-door convertible. F/R, 6750 cm³ (V8 OHV). Rolls-Royce attempted to revive the Bentley marque and gave the Corniche its own identity. The Continental name, which graced more famous Bentleys of the past, returned, and a turbocharged variant was on offer (only eight were made). Steady improvements through the years, though still clearly related to predecessor.
