The Bentley Arnage was launched in 1998 with a 4, 398 cc V8 BMW engine. The model was provided with a Green Label, but wasn’t called Arnage Green Label. In the middle of 1998, Bentley became the property of Volkswagen, and the comeback of the 6, 750cc V8 was planned. From model year 2000 on, the Arnage was powered by this mighty engine again. This model with the 6, 750cc V8 was called Arnage Red Label. The BMW engine remained available alongside it, and for the 2000 model year the 4, 398cc model became the Arnage Green Label.
Elegantly finished in its original and very rare colours of Sunset Red with a Magnolia hide interior and Fireglow carpets, this Bentley Green Label example was completed to a very high specification, with original features including Sundym side and rear window glass, burr walnut trim, an anti-theft device, a cellular telephone and a multi-CD changer. It was sold new through Jack Barclay and has been extremely well-maintained across its life, with its PDI and first five services performed by Barclay up to 27, 204 miles in 2004. Altogether, it has received eleven services, with later ones performed by independent garages, including two by Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist N. Sandell. The most recent service was by Seaspray Motors at 52, 017 miles, with the Arnage’s present mileage showing at just 56, 000 miles from new.
During 2025, the Bentley was subject to more extensive work through Bradshaw Bentley Services, with expenditure totalling £4, 800. This included the replacement of both rear gas springs, the rear lower damper mounts and gaiters, the fuel pumps, the offside-front top ball joint and both front anti-roll bar links. With an MOT with no advisories until July, 2026, this Arnage remains every inch the first-grade town carriage.
