Description
The Bentley Continental Flying Spur was introduced as the four door counterpart to the Continental GT, combining Bentley's traditional luxury and craftsmanship with the formidable performance of the Volkswagen Group developed W12 platform. At launch, the Flying Spur became one of the fastest luxury saloons in the world, offering limousine comfort, permanent all wheel drive and effortless continent crossing capability in a single package. With 560 hp from its 6. 0 litre twin turbocharged W12 engine, the Flying Spur redefined what a luxury sedan could achieve. About this Flying spur This Bentley Continental Flying Spur was built in January 2008 and carries chassis number SCBBR93W78C055187. Finished in Black with matching interior, the car spent part of its life in Dubai before being acquired by a Danish Shipping Company and imported to Denmark in early 2020. Import papers, shipping documents, registration records and invoices accompany the vehicle, providing a well documented ownership and import history. The Bentley is equipped with the renowned 6. 0 litre twin turbocharged W12 engine, automatic transmission and permanent all wheel drive, delivering effortless performance together with exceptional refinement. Today the car presents itself as an attractive driver's Bentley with documented servicing, low mileage and a substantial maintenance file. Exterior Finished in Black, the Flying Spur retains a timeless and elegant appearance that suits the model perfectly. The classic Bentley matrix grille, muscular shoulders and understated proportions have aged remarkably well and continue to make the Flying Spur an extremely recognizable limousine of the modern era. Our Green Book shows consistent factory paint measurements across the vehicle and notes only minor cosmetic imperfections, including small dents and scratches on the rear wings, a small dent on the right rear door and a minor mark on the rear bumper. Overall, the car presents well cared for and remains highly original. Interior The Flying Spur's cabin showcases Bentley's reputation for craftsmanship. Occupants are welcomed by extensive leather upholstery, wood veneer trim and a commanding driving position combined with generous rear passenger accommodation. The Green Book notes a sagging roof lining and an intermittent trunk release function. Otherwise, the interior presents as an attractive and complete example of Bentley's luxurious flagship saloon. Two keys accompany the vehicle. Engine and drivetrain Power comes from Bentley's 6. 0 litre twin turbocharged W12 engine producing 560 hp. The engine delivers immense torque across the rev range and provides the effortless acceleration that made the Flying Spur famous when new.
