The Appeal
Any Bentley worthy of the name should mix the worlds of sporting high performance and refined luxury into an effortlessly suave cocktail of elegance and power. And the Arnage certainly manages this assignment with ease.
The 4.4-litre V8 engine delivers plenty of power to the wheels, while the sumptuous leather-clad interior cossets its passengers and insulates them from the outside world, so that they might go about their travels in a state of refined bliss.
This particular Arnage is presented in good condition throughout, with excellent leather and fine veneers in the cabin, while the metallic blue paintwork suits it admirably.
The car has been recently serviced and will come with a fresh MOT upon sale, giving its next owner peace of mind.
