Highlights
- Excellent service history
- Spotless interior
- 450bhp twin-turbo V8
Appeal
When the car in question is the same model as the basis for the Queen’s state limousine, you know you’re looking at an example of extreme luxury. And the Arnage doesn’t disappoint. It is powerful, comfortable and very well equipped.
This 'Black Label' car features a 6.75-litre V8, which in the Black Label trim offered for sale here was equipped with twin turbochargers, giving it 450bhp and a 170mph top speed. 0-60mph was achieved in just 5.5 seconds.
This car comes with excellent service history and has covered just 68,000 miles from new, meaning that you have plenty more luxurious miles to enjoy.
The History and Paperwork
- Main dealer servicing to 50,000 miles
- Independent specialist thereafter
- Original handbooks and manual
- Two sets of keys
- UK V5C
- MoT to August 2023
- £2,500 service carried out in 2020
THE INTERIOR
- Spotless interior
- Beige leather in great condition
- Deep-pile wool over mats
- Original tool kit beneath boot floor
The Arnage is a truly opulent car both front and rear, and is superbly presented with no evident flaws. The beige leather is in very presentable condition, and with a little cleaning could look almost new.
The car is fitted with Bentley’s pop-up optional sat nav, remotely controlled, and optional lamb’s wool over-mats for added luxury. The overmats are decadently deep, cosy and plush. The veneers are all perfect, as are the carpets, roof lining and door cards.
This is certainly a pleasant place to pass time on a long journey, and will suit the most discerning of passengers.
THE EXTERIOR
- Black Sapphire paint in excellent condition
- 19-inch alloys with Pirelli P-Zero tyres
- Imposing road presence
This Bentley has an imposing presence in its original Black Sapphire paint, which is a blend of black and blue and retains a deep shine. It’s very well presented with no major flaws or damage – the only minor issues we could find were two tiny dents to the left-hand side. These are hard to see and unobtrusive, with the overall impression being a very grand and extremely striking one.
Underneath, the vendor states that this Arnage has never been welded and that there is no evidence of corrosion on the car.
THE MECHANICS
- 6.75-litre twin turbo V8
- Starts and runs perfectly
- Impeccably maintained
One of the last cars to be fitted with Rolls-Royce’s long running V8 engine, this twin-turbo Arnage produces a respectable 450bhp, which will propel the car to a heady 170mph. The car benefits from having been serviced by Bentley dealers and specialists throughout its history, so the next owner will be buying with confidence.
The vendor states that the car has recently been serviced by a Bentley specialist, and it comes with an MoT to August 2023. It is said to drive exceptionally well, with the car making all the right noises and none of the wrong ones.
Summary
Now very much a collector’s item, the Arnage is well regarded by enthusiasts. This example is absolutely terrific – it presents beautifully and has an excellent pedigree, as well as a warranted low mileage. An absolutely fantastic car in every respect.

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.
