‘There is much to love about the Bentley Flying Spur: it creates a sense of occasion like few other cars at any price, and offers an endearing blend of performance, potential top speed and braking power. The interior sets it apart from the more mainstream rivals, and there can be no denying that it fulfils its remit as a big, lavish limo. It’s even fun to drive, in a brutish kind of way’ (Autocar magazine).
Introduced in 2005, to complement Bentley’s existing two-door Continental GT model, the four-door grand tourer Flying Spur used a stretched version of its sibling’s platform. Powered by the same twin-turbocharged 6. 0 litre W12 engine allied to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddles, the luxury sports saloon boasted 552bhp and 479lb-ft of torque; an output sufficient for 0-60mph in 5. 2 seconds and 194mph. Equipped with Adaptive Air Suspension, Continuous Damping Control and Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the big Bentley proved surprisingly nimble.
Supplied new by Bentley Hadley Green, Hertfordshire, this elegant yet modern Flying Spur, chassis number 033117, was first registered on 7th October 2005. Finished in Silver Tempest with a complementary Magnolia and Black interior, as well as the usual refinements of this grand tourer, there's also a Pioneer DIVX screen upgrade for enhanced modern connectivity. With a warranted mileage of some 54, 000 miles from new, the Silver Spur's book pack details conscientious upkeep of maintenance throughout its history, with 14 entries, 6 from a main dealer (including a pre-delivery inspection) and 8 from specialists.
The Flying Spur Service Handbook records the first 5 entries at Bentley Hadley Green: 6. 10. 05 Pre-Delivery Inspection at 26 miles; 20. 12. 05 1, 000 mile service at 1, 015; 13. 10. 06 1 year service at 3, 603; 17. 10. 07 20k mile service at 7, 577; 17. 09. 08 30k mile service at 12, 560.

We are advised that it has been driven sparingly, dry stored, and 'never used in the rain' in current ownership, reflecting its careful preservation. With a recent new battery, the car remains dry stored, the vendor advising this is a reluctant sale due to infrequent use.
