Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, Online Auction - 12th June on Thursday the 12th of June. Background:In 2012, Bentley introduced a significant evolution of the Continental GT with the launch of the new 4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 variant. Positioned alongside the flagship W12, the V8 was designed to offer a more dynamic and efficient driving experience without compromising the luxury and refinement for which Bentley is renowned. Lighter than its 12-cylinder sibling and with a more agile character, the V8 GT delivers exhilarating performance, exceptional handling and a distinctive exhaust note that quickly earned it a following among enthusiasts.
The Mulliner Driving Specification, available as an upgrade from new, added further distinction and sporting flair. This included diamond-quilted leather upholstery, drilled alloy pedals, an indented leather headlining and unique 21" alloy wheels, enhancing both the interior ambience and road presence. The V8 Mulliner models are particularly sought after today, offering the perfect blend of craftsmanship, performance and exclusivity in a grand touring package.
The Car:First registered on 1st September 2012 and supplied new by Harwoods Bentley, this stunning Continental GT V8 Mulliner has clearly been cherished throughout its life. Presented in superb overall condition, it has covered just 44, 851 miles from new and benefits from a remarkably consistent service history with 11 service stamps, all but one carried out by Harwoods, Bentley’s official main dealer. The most recent service was completed on 25th April 2025 at 44, 650 miles.
Colour-wise the exterior is Thunder, hood is blue and the leather interior is Portland with Brunel as the secondary hide colour. Finished to Mulliner Driving Specification, this example features all the hallmark refinements associated with the package including diamond-quilted leather upholstery, indented hide headlining, drilled alloy pedals and unique Mulliner wheels. These subtle yet significant enhancements elevate the car's sporting character while maintaining Bentley’s trademark luxury.
Mechanically and cosmetically, the car presents beautifully. The electrically operated soft top is in excellent condition, free from damage or wear. All systems and functions operate exactly as intended, offering reassurance that this is a car which has been properly maintained and lightly used. It comes complete with its full book pack and has had just two former keepers since new.
An outstanding opportunity to acquire a low-mileage, Mulliner-spec GT V8 with impeccable provenance.
