Datos

Bentley buscaba una clientela mas joven con un modelo ligeramente mas deportivo y económico que el Mulsanne y durante el Salón del Automóvil de 1984 en el NEC Birmingham es presentado el nuevo Bentley Eight.

El motor utilizado es el 8 cilindros en V de 6,7 litros de cilindrada, código L410 con carburación y L410I con inyección, y que oficialmente según la marca rinde una potencia “suficiente”.

Exteriormente las unidades producidas entre 1984 y 1985 presentan una rejilla frontal, tipo panal de abeja, ligeramente mas alta con respecto al capo motor, a partir de 1986 la rejilla frontal queda a la misma altura del capo motor.

El Bentley Eight comienza su producción a partir de Agosto de 1984 prolongándose hasta Agosto de 1989 cuando es presentada una segunda serie del modelo. El precio de venta al publico en España en 1986 es de 15.701.433 Ptas.

El numero de unidades producidas en total de esta primera serie es de 1269 unidades.
