Well preserved interior in cream and blue leather with walnut
Recently serviced in readiness for its new owner
6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 and six-speed automatic gearbox both reportedly in full working order
ULEZ compliant
The Appeal
It’s fair to say that few knew what to expect when Volkswagen became Bentley’s new owners in 1998, but any doubts were soon quashed when the new Continental GT arrived in 2003. This supremely accomplished GT is without doubt one of Bentley’s greatest hits and sales figures confirmed they had a winning formula.
Here we have a very smart first generation Continental GT first registered in May 2004. Resplendent in silver, with a blue and cream leather interior, it’s a lovely example that’s very well preserved. Serviced in readiness for its next owner and with an MOT valid until June 2024, this is an opportunity you won’t want to let pass you by.

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

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.
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.
