Description
One of only 1,700 produced, the Bentley Eight was the cheapest model of the Bentley range, with many of the trim pieces that made up the higher end Mulsanne not being available. These cars are usually distinguishable from the Mulsanne by the wire mesh grille rather than the vertical columns found on the Mulsanne.

The result of lacking these extra furnishings resulted in the Eight being £6,000 less than the Mulsanne, but did result in the car gaining a large popularity that it even got itself an American release.

The Eight eventually ended production in 1992, being replaced spiritually by the Brooklands, a sportier version of the Mulsanne and Turbo R range.
