Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, Online Auction - 15th January on Thursday the 15th of January, Online. Background:Launched in 2005, the Bentley Continental Flying Spur combined the power and performance of the GT with the practicality of a four-door saloon. Powered by a 6. 0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing over 550bhp, it delivered remarkable performance for its class, with a 0-60mph time of under five seconds and a top speed in excess of 190mph. Permanent four-wheel drive and air suspension ensured security and comfort at speed, while the interior showcased Bentley’s signature craftsmanship, with luxurious leathers, veneers and meticulous attention to detail.
Assembled at Bentley’s Crewe facility, the Flying Spur proved popular with those seeking understated performance and supreme long-distance refinement. Today, it represents a compelling proposition for those who value presence, power and prestige.
The Car:Supplied new by Bentley Hadley Green in 2006, this Continental Flying Spur is finished in Dark Sapphire over Portland hide, a refined and timeless colour combination that complements the model’s elegant proportions. The car presents very well overall, with a few minor marks commensurate with its age. The Portland leather interior and matching veneers remain in good condition, reflecting careful ownership.
Factory options specified with this example include the alloy fuel filler cap, four-spoke single-tone heated hide-trimmed steering wheel, deep pile overmats front and rear, drilled alloy sports foot pedals, and sports gear lever. It is also fitted with Coming Home controls, a programmable parking heater with adjustable remote control, TV tuner and infotainment system, and 19-inch eight-spoke alloy wheels.
Having been cared for by Hanwells of London for several years, the car drives very well, offering the smooth and powerful performance for which the model is known. The private registration currently displayed is not included in the sale and the car will revert to its original registration number, as shown in the listing.
Supplied with a fresh MOT valid until January 2027, this Flying Spur remains an appealing luxury saloon that offers significant value and presence.
