Bullseye: The Discovery of Jim Bowen's Lost Bentley
When mechanic Joe Hewes purchased a Β£13,000 Bentley R Turbo on eBay in 2023, he had no idea he was about to uncover a fascinating piece of British television history. What he thought was just a classic luxury car soon turned out to have a unique connection to one of the UKβs most beloved game show hostsβJim Bowen of Bullseye fame. The discovery sent classic car enthusiasts and Bullseye fans alike into a frenzy, as the vehicleβs history added a new layer of nostalgia to its already distinguished presence.
The Bentley R Turbo, a symbol of 1990s prestige and refinement, had been Bowenβs prized possession for years. As the host of Bullseye, a show that entertained millions throughout the 1980s and early β90s, Bowen was known for his warmth, wit, and catchphrases like βSuper, smashing, great!β He reportedly used the Bentley for both personal drives and special events, enjoying the effortless luxury and smooth ride it provided. Over time, as his television career slowed down, the car changed hands, eventually finding itself in an online listing with no mention of its famous former owner.
