Bentley Turbo, Dark purple in colour, red brake calipers, some kind of special edition badge (Chap's name) on the left of the bootlid, and if memory serves; vented front wings.

Looked the business, anyone have any ideas what it was?

By the sound of the description, it is a Bentley Turbo R James Young limited edition. In 1995, a small run of James Young Turbo R's were made.

The colour would be Madscagar metallic.

You would think they would be rare, but there are actually a few of them kicking about in that colour combo. The weekend before last, I saw two of them, parked up at the RREC annual rally at Kelmarsh.

If it was purple, with the Mulliner wing vents, black alloys, red calipers etc, I think I may know the car. It sounds like an awfull combo, but they really do look the business. Brave colour spec'.
