The Appeal
This is not just any Bentley Arnage, it’s the ‘T’ model tuned for performance. Bentley’s engineers managed to squeeze a little more power from the tried and tested 6.75-litre V8 engine, which had been providing sterling service in both Bentleys and Rolls-Royces for some time.
This particular car comes in a fetching ‘Moroccan Blue’ livery, which remains in fantastic condition. Coupled with well-maintained mechanicals and a luxurious interior, this Bentley Arnage is read to make an entrance at any event.
The History and Paperwork
- Main dealer and independent specialist service history
- MoT to April 2023
- Original owner’s manuals
The Interior
- Sumptuous quilted leather
- Well appointed dashboard
- An extremely comfortable place to be
The interior of a Bentley is always a pleasant place to spend time. And this Arnage is no exception, with its quilted cream leatherwork covering the seats and doors and highly polished burr walnut veneer. This is a car designed with the express intention of conveying its occupants in the utmost luxury.
The dashboard is well appointed with analogue gauges, so the discerning driver can keep an eye on the state of their machine. The steering wheel features cruise control buttons, which along with the four speed automatic transmission makes this an excellent choice for a grand continental tour.
The leather seats are generally in excellent condition, with only the driver’s seat showing slight signs of use, which just goes to show that this is a luxury vehicle with a focus on the driving experience.
The Exterior
- Striking Moroccan Blue paintwork
- Underneath in great condition
- Paint remains undamaged with a deep lustre
A fetching shade of ‘Moroccan Blue’ was specified by the first owner of this Bentley, and the paintwork remains in excellent condition. The vendor states that the paint is unmarked and we think that the deep lustre of the paintwork adds to the imposing stance of this Arnage.
Underneath, the seller states that the condition of the car is also excellent, with no welding having been carried out and without corrosion to speak of. The wheels are in very good condition and there is still good tread to the tyres.
In all, this is a car you wouldn’t hesitate to make an entrance with.
The Mechanics
- Twin Turbo V8
- ‘Mind blowing’ acceleration
- Mechanically sound
The beating heart of this Bentley is its 6.75-litre V8 engine, a tried and tested unit which still packs a healthy punch, kicking out 1,000 Nm of torque and around 500 horsepower.
The engine bay is tastefully adorned with a plaque stating its credentials as a ‘6.75 Litre Twin Turbo’ as well as a separate plate bearing the signature of the technician who signed off the unit in the factory.
Reassuringly, the vendor informs us that there are no issues with the engine or other mechanical components, with no leaks or smoke to be reported.
The shove from the twin turbocharged V8 is described by the vendor as simply ‘mind blowing’, with a contrasting understated exhaust note.
Summary
This imposing Bentley still performs brilliantly well and is ready for any occasion.
Experience the exquisite pairing of sumptuous comfort and raw power.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
