Looks v nice and in the perfect colour! That price swing must be more than just condition surely? I assume they were considerably developed over the years? I assume they all do about 10mpg so you comparable to a private jet on a trip to the Côte d’Azur!

Relatively minor changes over the years - such as blistered arches and a few more bhp. The more expensive are the T versions. Plus there's the very rare targa roofed version (the Sedanca) and the Le Mans edition, but these are notably more expensive again.
Mileage is a big factor on value, as they go from cars with less than 20k miles, to those with perhaps 150k. Mine is on 125k, and hence is at the most affordable end of the scale.

I very much doubt any owner has ever paid the slightest bit of attention to mpg. But it'll be in line with all the Rolls and Bentleys of that period using the 6.75lt eight, so I'd guess at mid-teens at a canter.
Funny you mention the Cote D'Azur - I'm looking at an Azure (which is the convertible version of the Continental R), but in LHD for use on European trips. Hence the thought of selling this one.

Iain Tyrell did a really good video on these a few weeks ago on his YouTube channel. Definitely a car I’d love to own in the future, but I’ve a few with a stringer itch to tick off first.
 
Interesting little fact here in France makes me realise how lucky we are in the UK for modifying cars to a certain extent.Messenger_creation_DB3F1335-91E4-4E1C-B55D-DABAB727995B.jpeg
