The Appeal
If you’re in the market for a luxury GT then there really is nothing quite like Bentley’s Continental GT. Blending traditional hand-crafted cues with modern technology, the GT has the sort of brutal performance that connects it clearly with the firm’s illustrious pre-war race cars.
Each car could be carefully bespoked by the first buyer and this 2005 example certainly was. Finished in stylish Silver Tempest with a quilted grey leather interior, it is detailed with a black grille, smoked rear lights and split rim 7 spoke anodised alloy wheels. It looks as purposeful as any 550bhp twin turbo W12 should be.
The history file shows regular servicing, all by Bentley. In December 2023 Bentley Birmingham undertook engine, trim and electrical work that totalled £12,500. It comes to market benefitting from all that work and with the reassurance of a long, advisory-free MOT to March 2025.
