The Appeal
The Continental GT is about as aspirational as a car can get. From their smart, restrained styling to their remarkable, palatial cabins, the Bentley W12-powered legend hit the market in 2003 - the first to be mass-manufactured in the company's history. It's a sleek, powerful vision of a luxury car with attitude.
This specific example has been meticulously restored by Bentley specialist Mark Taylor, with significant mechanical work to ensure it operates flawlessly. This Continental GT is an excellent opportunity for any Bentley enthusiast.
