To be offered for sale by Silverstone Auctions at The Silverstone Classic Sale 2019 to be held at The Wing Building, Silverstone Circuit, United Kingdom, NN12 8TN from July 26, 2019 to July 28, 2019. Guide price: £50000 - £60000. First registered on the 1st January 2010 as one of the final right-hand drive carsBeautifully presented in ‘R’ specification with Cream leather and Burr Walnut insertsThe car’s service history warrants the 14, 400 miles and will be freshly serviced for the saleThe 6. 75-litre turbo engine provides "serious" acceleration with 0-60mph in 5. 4 secondsPresented in arguably the best colour combination, this car represents incredible value compared to its rivals. At launch the revised Arnage R and T models were more expensive and more powerful than its predecessors, the Arnage Green and Red Label, but it also claimed the title of world's fastest saloon, needing all but the last two spots on its 170mph speedometer. The Arnage R is powered by yet another version of the 6. 75 litre Rolls-Royce, V8 engine whose roots go back to 1959. Treated to what Bentley described as 'the most thorough re-engineering of its life', the later cars produced a staggering 500bhp. This prodigious output, besides enabling this Bentley to reach 168mph, also sent it from 0 to 60mph in 5. 2 seconds. Other changes included the adoption of a 'drive-by-wire' throttle but what really gives this nearly three-ton car its immense poise is a revised suspension that features 57% more roll stiffness than the Red Label. This 2010 Arnage R benefits from updated coachwork and styling cues that have aged remarkably well, and to the uninitiated, the car could be mistaken for a current production model. Finished in arguably the best colour combination this delightful example has one of the lowest warranted mileages of any contemporary car on the market today having travelled just 14, 400 miles. The car was supplied through Jack Barclay Bentley of London and bought by our vendor in 2016 from the car’s fourth registered keeper.
