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.
