Highlights

One of only 373 RHD Arnage Rs
16 main dealer and specialist servicing stamps
Classic Peacock Blue over Cotswold cream leather
Current MOT to November 2026

The Appeal

Good as the modern Bentleys are, the Arnage has a special place in the firm’s lineage because it is the last of the truly hand-built, low volume models. Bridging the gap between traditional skills and advanced technology, it is more usable than earlier models yet more classic than modern ones.

The Arnage R was built for seven years from 2002 and was the more comfort-oriented model, albeit with 400bhp on tap from its twin turbocharged 6.75L V8. Just 373 were built in RHD and this car is an early one, a 2003 Model Year car built in late 2002. The classic combination of Peacock Blue over Cotswold leather will appeal to enthusiasts. The car is in very good order inside and out, including the extensive walnut trim.

We are told that the service book shows 16 stamps by main dealers and specialists. The current MOT runs to November 2026 with minor advisories. A very tidy, nicely specified example of these increasingly appreciated cars.
