The Appeal
The Continental GT was a clever idea. And no wonder it was a huge success: it blended the firm’s traditional hand-crafted cues with a thoroughly modern update on the brutally quick big GT theme established by those historic Bentley Boys in their pre-war 3-Litres and 4.5-litres.
This low mileage car comes to us with an impressive history file that includes £4,400 invested since June 2023 across servicing, brakes and minor fettling. It has covered just 1,400 since.
Finished in the popular combination of silver metallic over a cream and blue leather interior, it is a neatly specified car including optional 20in bolted split-rim alloys, walnut veneers and quilted seats. It is a tidy and well kept example of these viscerally quick 550bhp supercars.
