The Appeal
Joining it’s GT brother in 2006, the Bentley Continental GTC took the mightily impressive Continental GT formula and created one of the most beautiful and exclusive convertibles of the era.
Utilising the same impressive 6L W12 powerplant of the GT, the GTC combined astonishing 552bhp performance with the effortless elegance of open-air motoring. Cutting an arguably even more rakish profile than it’s GT stablemate, the GTC delivers its substantial power through a six speed ZF transmission to all four wheels.
This low ownership car is presented in the stunning combination of Beluga black over a recently restored Saffron cream leather interior. The car benefits from 8 documented services by Bentley Harwoods of Sussex and has additionally recently undergone restoration of its alloy wheels which now present in A1 condition.
This GTC also comes with a fresh advisory-free MOT valid until 6/6/2024.

The GTC’s sleek low profile and stunning curves give the sense of high speed even whilst still, echoing the classic Bentleys of the past.

The black roof which also appears to be in good condition is reported to be functioning normally and can be operated at speeds up to 20 mph – useful indeed here in the UK!
The recently restored anthracite wheels give the car a contemporary appearance and look very attractive following their recent restoration.
