Appeal
When the car in question is the same model as the basis for the Queen’s state limousine, you know you’re looking at an example of extreme luxury. And the Arnage doesn’t disappoint. It is powerful, comfortable and very well equipped.
This 'Black Label' car features a 6.75-litre V8, which in the Black Label trim offered for sale here was equipped with twin turbochargers, giving it 450bhp and a 170mph top speed. 0-60mph was achieved in just 5.5 seconds.
This car comes with excellent service history and has covered just 68,000 miles from new, meaning that you have plenty more luxurious miles to enjoy.

THE INTERIOR
- Spotless interior
- Beige leather in great condition
- Deep-pile wool over mats
- Original tool kit beneath boot floor
The Arnage is a truly opulent car both front and rear, and is superbly presented with no evident flaws. The beige leather is in very presentable condition, and with a little cleaning could look almost new.
The car is fitted with Bentley’s pop-up optional sat nav, remotely controlled, and optional lamb’s wool over-mats for added luxury. The overmats are decadently deep, cosy and plush. The veneers are all perfect, as are the carpets, roof lining and door cards.
This is certainly a pleasant place to pass time on a long journey, and will suit the most discerning of passengers.
THE EXTERIOR
- Black Sapphire paint in excellent condition
- 19-inch alloys with Pirelli P-Zero tyres
- Imposing road presence
This Bentley has an imposing presence in its original Black Sapphire paint, which is a blend of black and blue and retains a deep shine. It’s very well presented with no major flaws or damage – the only minor issues we could find were two tiny dents to the left-hand side. These are hard to see and unobtrusive, with the overall impression being a very grand and extremely striking one.
Underneath, the vendor states that this Arnage has never been welded and that there is no evidence of corrosion on the car.
THE MECHANICS
- 6.75-litre twin turbo V8
- Starts and runs perfectly
- Impeccably maintained
One of the last cars to be fitted with Rolls-Royce’s long running V8 engine, this twin-turbo Arnage produces a respectable 450bhp, which will propel the car to a heady 170mph. The car benefits from having been serviced by Bentley dealers and specialists throughout its history, so the next owner will be buying with confidence.
The vendor states that the car has recently been serviced by a Bentley specialist, and it comes with an MoT to August 2023. It is said to drive exceptionally well, with the car making all the right noises and none of the wrong ones.
Summary
Now very much a collector’s item, the Arnage is well regarded by enthusiasts. This example is absolutely terrific – it presents beautifully and has an excellent pedigree, as well as a warranted low mileage. An absolutely fantastic car in every respect.
