Spose I should write something here as it seems to be the done thing.
I have purchased a blue 1989 Turbo R off Ebay.co.uk. Don't worry, it was local to me (50 miles) so I (and a pro mechanic/bodywork friend) gave it a good looking at beforehand. It pushed all the right buttons so I used the buy it now option. I now have a nice condition, FSH, 54,000 mile car that is almost like new under the bonnet (hood).
I am still coming to terms with what I have bought (had it 1 week now), and the gravity of the undertaking. I will have to keep up with the service I guess, tho I think I'll (me and my mate) will be doing the work. It all looks pretty straight forward. It is a car after all.
I have a few niggles I want to sort out and I'll address some questions elsewhere.
As for me, I live in Warrington, Cheshire. This is almost exactly half way between Liverpool and Manchester (20 miles each way). I'm a 42 year old electronic engineer and have worked at Daresbury Laboratory for 22 years now (since I was thin as I usually say). I'm married, got 2 kids (one for use and one for best) and have a small selection of other vehicles including an 03 Vauxhall Zafira 2.2 Auto (family runabout ), a 92 Toyota Surf SSRX Auto (for launching the kids inflateable dinghy) and also a 72 NSU Ro80 (go look that one up). In fact I am the Ro80 Club GB Chairman. I also currently have an 89 Merc 300SE that I am getting rid of to make room for the Bentley. I like big cars (and small cars, I recently gave my Daf 66SL away [go look that one up too], and will always regret that).
Cheers... Rob.
