In the middle of 1998 Bentley became the property of Volkswagen and from model year 2000 on the Arnage was powered by a revised and turbocharged version of the company’s venerable 6750cc V8 engine which replaced the previous BMW unit. This model with the 6750cc V8, known as the Arnage Red Label, was introduced at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Bentley Arnage Red Label boasted 616lb-ft of torque – more than any other production car. Allied with a four-speed automatic transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5. 9 seconds with a top speed of 155mph. Further benefiting from a stiffer bodyshell, revised suspension and bigger brakes, the luxury sports saloon retained a tangible link to the Crewe-built Bentleys of the 1950s and 60s. The last of the 2, 282 Red Labels produced was completed in 2005.
Entered from a deceased estate and believed to have been previously owned by Journalist and author, Sir Peter Evans, this Arnage Red Label displays c. 26, 800 miles on the odometer, however, it appears to have been subject to a dashboard change between June 2008 and June 2009. As a result, the car is understood to have covered 84, 873 miles from new. Finished in a fetching combination of Sherwood Green Metallic complimented by Magnolia hide with green piping, it is said to present very well with a fine interior showing no visible wear on the seats or carpets. The car is fitted with a number of factory options including lambs wool carpets, front and rear parking sensors and rear picnic tables. Showing just 3 former keepers on the accompanying V5C, it has been in storage for the past year, with the battery on trickle charge, and despite this period of inactivity started without issue and ran well upon inspection. Offered with a current MoT to March 2026.
