The Bentley Turbo R was the flagship Bentley from 30 years ago. Today I'm reviewing this 1990 Bentley Turbo R to show you what it was like to drive the ultimate Bentley three decades ago. I'm also going to show you all the quirks and features of the Turbo R, and I drive the Bentley Turbo R to show you what it's like on the road.

“30 Years Ago”
Me: Okay it’s from the 70s
Doug: This is a 1990 Bentley Turbo R
Welcome to the 2020s
Bank Robba last year, 30 years ago was 1989, how/why did you think it was the 70's? the 70's were 40 years ago
@@co1581 r/wooooosh
@@co1581 math is not your strength, right?
tony guillen well i did mean the 70's in general not exactly 1970 and yes i admit im dumbbbbbb
I feel like Doug just has a stack of owner's manuals on his nightstand that he flips through every night
Well, he did buy a manual to the GM EV1.
They're between the box spring and mattress. He freaked out once when his mom found them

“Blue is cold air, white is middle, and then red is hot air.” Douglas, thank you so much for answering those hard-hitting and perplexing questions that the viewer surely could not have surmised on his own!
Doug literally couldn't deduce that SND FLD was short for sound field on a 90's radio.
He also found the trunk keyhole, Scooby Doo has nothing on this dude.
@@steveallen1340 Sure, but that's a big part of the amusement value of his reviews. I doubt he realizes it.
If somebody gives me a fancy car then i can sell it and get more money and then get a new car.
He makes his videos for people who don't know much about cars apparently
"1990 is not 30 years ago"

"holyshit it is 30 years ago!!"

Emmanuel Thommy I know makes you feel old huh?
30 years into the future all todays highly desired automobiles will look just as ridiculous and undesirable as this piece of shit today .
Etyere Petyere hard to imagine that will be the case unless some crazy new innovations come out. I don’t see cars getting much more streamlined or technologically advanced than they currently are.
“Thissssssss” is a car you don’t want, don’t care about, but will still watch a video for simply because you can’t resist.

"No thank you, I'm looking for a Bentley Turbo R."
@@matts22071 You liked your own reply
Am I the only one who thinks this Bentley has more character than it's modern day successor?
I wouldn't bother to buy one if buying a new one was on my hands. It's a master piece with an expensive maintenance, just as any car in the nowadays
Congratulations! Yes you are the only one.
Yes
Honestly, I think the mulsanne did live up to it's legacy. Not like the new flying spur
The Mulsanne is an excellent successor, although it is still over styled like everything else now. With the death of the Mulsanne-Bentleys are nothing more than overdone Audi’s and VWs.
Doug's wife: Honey did you like the food?
"And now, it's time to give it a Doug Score."

Funny but start with "Honey, do you love me?".
The “Please no...” was great. 🤣
Doug’s the type of guy to give you the shirt off his back and still have a shirt on his back.
That made me laugh out loud, because it is so true.
At the end of the year he should do an award based on how many T-shirts is needs to wear, and of course "This" award.
now that's funny!
Oh my god, how have I not seen this one?! This is the greatest DtToG ever.
Doug is the kind of guy to extends his vocabulary with each owner's manual.

Tyler Hoover is very angry that you’re not reviewing his.
this one is at least in working condition haha
I think there would be a problem with the "let's see how it drives" section of the video.
Кирилл Котельников yeah definitely 😂 and some of the quirks and features probably won’t work as well.
Doug needs to do a video on hoovies pimp my ride van.
@@getchasome6230 Definitely should be up Doug's alley considering the Sprinter and Range Rover Limousine videos. Same thing, but on a budget. 😆
Doug could be like, “THIS is a pile of dirt I found in my backyard” and I would still watch it.
You got that right, Jasper.
Yeah me too, it would be filled with information and trivia, making it worth the watch
Sad...
The first quirk is this worm I found in the pile.
He needs to do something like that for April fools
Adding an 'Interior' category would be cool, where cars like this can really shine without getting compromised by reliability. Basically how nice the cabin is to sit in..
“This car is perfect for drivers with road rage” 😂😂😂

I wonder what Bentley would charge for that level of quality steering wheel cover?

@@callumdonington2227 that's not a Sony hu, looks more like a bargain bin dual, but I get ya. Could have put a quality Old School Alpine,. Denon, Nakamichi, ect and looked 100 times better.
"Participation trophies", I rarely laugh so hard at 7AM.
Just so you know, Doug, the 'wood trim around the wood trim' in the door panels is a technique known as 'cross-banding', typical in 18th and 19th Century English cabinet making. It looks like rosewood around walnut. A quirky touch of luxury unusual in any car.

Looks pretty cool for a 1970s car
Doug: " from 1990 "

Luxury cars had very long production runs back in the days. The W126, Testarossa/512TR, Countach, Diablo, etc were all made for a decade or so even if cars were evolving much quicker back then.
@@blackshadow7192 the factory-tuned offering (no cost- shhh don't tell anyone) could out drag some Ferraris. Admittedly it drank fuel and could only run on 98RON. later models (90 on) were fitted with a device called transient boost- it basically held the wastegate shut for a few extra seconds for that extra bit of wallop. There were 'lads' in development who felt the need to tune the knackers off them and then go out for a spin (literally).
You didn't listen then did you efperel... he said in the video when this model was produced.
I absolutely loved these cars back in the day. The ultimate and most rare version if the RT Mulliner. It's a unearthly looking thing to behold.
Passers-by:
Son: look mom, there's that crazy man who always talks to his car.
Mother: I know, please don't stare.

Hoovies Garage I bet you’re salivating right now 😀👍🏼
Hello Hoovie
I love how everything looks nice but then they got that toyota camry steering wheel
They put an aftermarket pleather steering wheel cover over the standard cow hide one. Mind you, They also blinged up there alloys with chrome...
There’s no accounting for good taste, But I can tell you it was a better car when it left the factory in Crewe, England.
Heavy tinted windows (aftermarket)... Extra “Bentley” Badges- Dash, Footwells and wherever else. It’s just not done.
The car can speak for itself without such gaudy tat.
exactly I was thinking that steering wheel too much ruined the look
I love how he's at a pokey little dealership.

A real bisexual petrol-head I was born in 2000 so realizing that 1990 was now 30 years ago, instead of just 10 or 15 for example, is just a crazy thought is all. I know 1970 is now 50 years ago. 👌
before, the 1990's were 20 years ago, they weren't just 10 or 15 years

Great video as always Doug, have an awesome 2020 you and your wife and I hope you two had a great Christmas. That Turbo R looks so attractive with the monochrome bumpers and grill, the white contrasts beautifully with the beige leather, and interior with the black steering wheel. I love it with the chrome wheels. I've always loved the contrast of different woods, that burled maple and walnut. I'd bury my bare feet into that thick pile carpeting. It's cool to see the engine exposed like that. I found out that the 4 speed auto that Bentley started using was GM's 4L80E. It was a 4 speed version of their Turbo Hydromatic 400 with electronic overdrive used from 1992-97. I think that's cool because it's just before Vw's takeover in 1998 just like Bentley was different prior to Rolls Royce's take over in 1931.

I feel like Doug got married in his shorts and a bow tie T shirt
Tino Z I officiated his wedding, and it was actually a quite beautiful ceremony. Doug looked radiant in his ivory mermaid gown with a plunging neckline that showed a tasteful amount of cleavage.
Fact that doug wears shorts and t shirt no crappy suits and ties shows.he is the real deal ps lots of love love all your car vids on youtube
haha doug the typa guy to get married wearing shorts, flip flops and a bow tie t shirt
At Post Oak Motor Cars the sales manager told me:
"Jack, we say the Bentley is your daytime car & your Rolls Royce is your evening car,"
Now that's a good sales man. I can barely afford a camry but now I want a Bentley and rolls so I don't feel poor.
That dealer looks shady af
EDIT: And the Yelp reviews confirm my suspicions...
"$200.000 in 1990"
Woah
"3-speed automatic"
Excuse me?
Those were the times. I guess that was the only way to have an automatic that could also support the torque of the engine.
$2.0 in 2020. Endless money pits.
This was a car that wasn't about speed but pure luxury. The whole shaming boats like this because they weren't fast or sporty is what killed off these smooth-riding gigantic barges. That's the reason Cadillac is shit today. They left their roots behind to chase hard bolstered seats and wannabe Euro styling. That failed and now they resort to boring SUVs.
Gewel ✔ thats wild to me

The ZF 8-speed is used by BMW in just about every model. Jaguar and lots of other brands use them too. This transmission can both be sporty and silky smooth.
Watch Engineering Explained on the ZF 8-speed (in a BMW X7 if I remember correctly).
Kudos to the owner of this car who kept it in such amazing shape for this long period👌🏻
Satin lined owner’s manual cover is on another level
I don't know how did I find your channel, but I love your videos and I can't stop to watch them.

Doug you are THE best car reviewer! Cheers from Brazil
You know you’re early when there are no ‘’doug the type’’ jokes
Try again. You failed.
Doug the type of guy to pour the milk first so his cereal has a soft landing
Anyone else feels like watching Doug's smile and enthusiasm makes their day?
An interesting quirk I learnt at the Bentley factory is that all of the wood trim used inside every car they build is completely symmetrical by the centre line of the car. You can see it quite clearly a couple of times in this video. They have a dashboard trim on the wall at their factory which they had to remove from a car as they noticed whilst assembling the car that the wood grain made it look like there was a skull in the centre of the dashboard!
Doug the type of guy to say “ALRIGHT” every time he gets ready to drive a car
I heard the ALRIGHT in quagmires voice
And who can't spell it either.
I just had an existential crisis that the 90s where 30 years ago
Geez, thanks, now I am.
The 90s were where?
Only 1990 for now
So you remember the 90s but can't write the right "were"?
Bentley factory worker: how much leather do you want?
Bentley CEO: YESSSS!

18:16 - In the U.K, there would be a ‘Flying B’ hood ornament there instead of the chrome strip.
You can put them on aftermarket!

"Wood trim on wood trim" or as known to most people: "inlaid wood trim".
@A real bisexual petrol-head Wood inlays or inlaid wood trim sounds more fancy.
If I hadn't found this comment I would have said it. That bothered the crap out of me.

"Wood trim on wood trim" or, as I would call it...

Yo Dawg, we heard you like wood trim so I put wood trim on your wood trim....
Doug: Remote key fob is unheard of in 1990.
We had a 1992 Chevy Caprice with remote key fob and I think they had them since 1991
My New Year's resolution is to watch every new Doug video ASAP.

Great video. What was on the back of the passenger head rest? Just wondering. Thanks for the video and happy new year’s.
Look at Doug's shorts the entire time he's in the front seat...either he's got a gun in his pocket or he's *REALLY* happy to see that Bentley interior.

Outstanding condition of this particular car. So nice to look at this one. Great design and top quality.
I PDId and test drove the first one in Edmonton Alberta when they came out, I'm still in awe of that automobile so many years later it do everything well.
CNC Motors: Alright, send the detailing guys home Doug isn’t sweating here today.
I absolutely love that interior, wood and leather is the way to go, amazing how modern luxury cars think plastic is acceptable
@japanwatchconnection Im pretty shure you wont see it...and yeah, car interiors are degrading every year. I just hate them and prefere oldschool models.
@Richard Nedbalek I dont want to be cruel or support slaughter. Our generation just think leather = luxury. And in my oppinion, i would prefer leather any day. You have no idea what synthetic stuff do to you and earth, in fact maybe worse than killing animals.
japanwatchconnection won't see it because it's not there
Richard Nedbalek it is dual use technology, leather interior plus hamburger. Plus, that synthetic stuff feels synthetic. Especially this Alcantara, feels like mouse fur to me. But not the real thing
Well, if you think about the thousands of cows and tons of trees cut down just to make one car...for the sake of look, as vegan seat... is as comfortable...if not more....old way is NOT the way to go!! Unless, you don't give a damn for anything but your own perception of amazing. Good riddance to these interiors...along with the fur coats.
Saw this car on Cars and Bids. I’m so glad I did. This is a beautiful car.
I still want one. Miss the days when luxury cars were made of the highest quality materials and superb craftsmanship. Now they’re just crammed with as much advanced technology as possible that’ll be obsolete in five years anyway.

Car: 30 years and running
Doug: Reliability will be troublesome
30 years and running because previous owners kept on top of maintenance.
dude just ask hoovie these are a nightmare to own
Good video a few additions for anyone that would like more information. . You could get a turbo on the Rolls Royce version. It was called a Flying Spur. Also in 1997-1999 the silver spur had a garrett turbo charger. True in 1990 you could not but a few years later you could
Also the low min oil discussion on the gauge is not for mineral oil as some comments say. It in fact does check the engine oil so you do not have to use the dip stick. The min oil line stands for minimum oil level which would give you the reading of minimum on the dipstick if you had low oil level.
Doug, I wish my channel could be half of what yours is -- I'm excited for your 2020!
Good luck, keep on working. Happy New year.
You’ll get there one day
Thanks guys 🙂
This first time a see Doug in a Small/Humble car dealer.

Jose Manuel Even the rundown looking used dealerships here in NYC look better.
I had to leave a thumbs up for the participate trophy joke.
It's not often that Doug writes jokes, but this one was perfectly placed, written, and executed.
That Pep Boys steering wheel cover is just the perfect touch. Who needs to look at or touch a hand stitched Connonly leather wheel anyway?

My '91 Oldsmobile Bravada came with a factory keyfob with lock, unlock, and open the rear glass. Gotta love it when something virtually unheard of on a car in the early 90's is on a car for 40 grand. Lol. Pretty sure it had an alarm too, but if it did it no longer works or only works with the keyfob which no longer exists 30 years later. Lol
