Last of the ‘old school’ Bentley saloons with its roots in the pre-Volkswagen era, the Arnage T was revised for a final time ahead of the 2007 model year. A fitting swansong, these ‘last-of-the-line’ cars were praised by the contemporary motoring press for the enhanced driving experience they offered. Updated with a new roller tappet system and lower inertia twin turbochargers, the venerable 6761cc pushrod OHV V8 engine developed a faintly ridiculous 500bhp and 738lbft of torque. However, it was the adoption of ZF’s advanced 5HP30 six-speed automatic gearbox with state-of-the-art computer management and three transmission modes (Drive, Sport and Semi-Auto) which proved the real game changer. New ‘Thin Film’ driver information display panels gave the dashboard a more contemporary look / feel, while other interior revisions comprised a Bluetooth integrated telephone system and sleeker gear lever surround. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5. 5 seconds and 179mph, the ‘last-of-the-line’ Arnage T models did not want for performance! Of the mere ninety-four cars built during the 2008 model year only fifty-three were to right-hand drive specification.
Finished in the striking combination of Silver Tempest Metallic with Black leather upholstery, this notably late Arnage T was built to the more luxurious Mulliner II specification. Sporting a discrete Mulliner badge and vent to each front wing, ‘Winged B’ motifs to all four headrests and door cappings, quilted leather upholstery, 19-inch alloy wheels and quad exhaust pipes, it also boasts an electric tilt / slide sunroof, front / rear heated seats, park distance control (with rear view camera) and an uprated infotainment system. Supplied via Bentley Glasgow, the Arnage T has had three former keepers and covered just 36, 600 miles from new. Spanning two books, twelve stamps attest to services at 7, 815, 9, 385, 13, 066, 15, 277, 19, 042, 21, 524, 24, 641, 30, 029, 30, 981, 33, 147, 34, 394 and 36, 040 miles. Corresponding invoices on file run into five figures with the most recent bout of maintenance costing £3, 595. 83 (new rear discs / pads, handbrake shoes, fresh batteries and waxoyling etc). Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, this decidedly rare ‘last of the line’ Arnage T is offered for sale with handbooks, touring kit, two keys and MOT certificate valid until November 2026.
