The Appeal
If you’re in the market for a car that is rewarding, a gift to yourself for all life’s efforts, then a Continental GT must be close to the top of your list. These cars were built to be the best of the best and they certainly deliver.
If you’re in the market for one of these 550bhp GTs then specification, condition and maintenance are your calling cards. This 2006 Silverlake Metallic example ticks all three boxes. Beyond the appealing specification - inside you’ll find a two-tone cream and blue cabin with bespoke Mulliner elements - there is a full service history by Bentley and marque specialists.
Recent work since September 2023 includes new disc, pads and calipers and a full service in June this year. This car arrives with the buyer wanting nothing, a point independently underlined by the long-advisory-free MOT.
This is a car with which to treat yourself. Driving it, as owners know, is a regular reward. This one looks tempting.
