One of only 60 Diamond Editions, and 19 supplied to the UK
Original Bentley press and marketing demo car
Unique specification
Comprehensive service history
THE APPEAL
Introduced in 2006 to celebrate 60 years of manufacturing at Crewe, the Bentley Arnage T Diamond Edition was the ultimate in luxury derivatives of the sumptuous super saloon.
A total of only 60 were made in the celebration specification, the majority of which were supplied in left-hand-drive to the USA market.
19 were sold in the UK as right-hand-drive cars and this one is possibly the very first, as it was Bentley’s own, used for motor shows, marketing materials and latterly as a press demonstrator.
It was originally PDI’d by Bentley Motor Cars Press and Special Car Support unit at Crewe, it was then serviced by them at 1,178 miles on 07-09-06 and 7,508 miles on 12-06-07 before being sold on to its first of four private owners.
It is finished in unique Windsor Blue with diamond pattern hide interior and Bentley insignias and a special limited-edition plaque.
The car was previously owned by two chauffeur drive companies, the current keeper - who owns a classic car company - intended to keep this car for his personal use and had several European trips organised, however due to a change in his health and an upcoming major operation this is no longer possible, therefore he very reluctantly has decided it must be sold.
Collectors are falling over themselves for the best of the Arnages – considered by many to be the last ‘true’ Bentley.
This one is even more appealing because it’s such a rare and desirable example – one of just 19 UK-specification Diamond Editions that has been well-loved throughout its life and is presented in very good condition, and also the original Bentley press demonstrator
An absolutely gorgeous 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.

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.
