- 500bhp V8 engine
- Smart Granite paintwork
- Hand stitched leather interior
The Appeal
The four-door Bentley Flying Spur has always been about providing the maximum luxury to all its passengers. It manages to deploy its 500bhp in an effortlessly assertive manner, without being brash or over the top.
This particular example looks very suave in its smart Granite paintwork, with tastefully applied chrome trim and excellent alloy wheels. The car was ordered new with a long list of options which pushed the original purchase price to over £140,000.
It remains in excellent order inside and out, with beautiful quilted leather and undamaged paintwork. This Flying Spur is perhaps the ultimate way to carry four passengers in style.

The Interior
- Beautiful beige leather interior with contrasting stitching
- Veneered picnic tables with integrated vanity mirrors
- All interior features said to be functioning correctly
As you would expect from any Bentley, opening the door reveals a world of opulence and comfort. Everything is expertly crafted and finely finished, with high quality materials being employed to the original owner’s exacting specification.
The leather seats are beautifully presented, with their diamond stitching and perforated panels to allow for ventilation, keeping their occupants cool on hot days. There is only a little evidence of use showing in the pale leather, and the Bentley emblems stitched into the headrests finish them off very well. All four seats, front and rear, are electrically adjustable and all benefit from ventilation.
Up above, there is a tinted sunroof and the headlining is clean and secure. The door cards continue the quilted leather motif and are in excellent condition. Their piano black cappings echo that used on the dashboard and centre console. This contrasts perfectly with the few splashes of chrome used sparingly throughout the cabin.
All the features are said to be in fully functioning order including the multi-function steering wheel, rear view camera, and electrically operated rear blinds. And the cavernous rear boot is neatly carpeted. It holds a Bentley branded umbrella, and below the floor is a space saver spare wheel.
The Exterior
- ‘Granite’ paintwork in excellent condition
- Unmarked alloy wheels
- Very clean and tidy underneath
The Granite paintwork (code K6SCO) suits the car very well, and gives it a smart appearance. It exhibits a deep shine and appears to be in excellent condition throughout. There are almost no scratches or chips that we could see, even on the wing mirrors and wheel arches.
The external trim is beautifully restrained, limiting the chrome plating to the radiator grille, headlamp and window surrounds, and a few other flashes. And while the term ‘discreet’ has probably never been used in relation to a Bentley, it certainly isn’t over the top.
Underneath, from what we could see, the car looks to have lived an easy life, with no signs of damage or corrosion that we could see. The alloy wheels are in particularly good condition, we could see no grazing or scratches at all, and they are shod in a set of Pirelli P Zero tyres.
The Mechanics
- Four-litre V8 engine produces 500bhp
- Automatic transmission
- Engine bay clean and tidy
There’s nothing quite like having 500 V8 horses on tap, ready to go with the slightest movement of your right foot. The ZF eight-speed transmission is ready to serve up the correct gear whenever you need it, and deploy the power for maximum effect.
Lifting the sizeable bonnet reveals a well kept engine bay with proudly placed cast aluminium plaques bearing the Bentley emblem and declaring the engine to be a 4.0 litre V8. It certainly is a thing of exquisite mechanical beauty.
The vendor informs us that the car starts and drives as it should, with no reported leaks or smoke. The only minor fault, is that recently one of the headlight bulbs occasionally gets intermittent - which the seller will have it looked if possible before the auction ends.
Summary
An extremely luxurious way to enjoy 500hp in style.

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 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
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.
