Comprehensive service record
MOT to April 2023
Very high specification
The Appeal
As an example of quality coachbuilding in the modern age, the Mulliner-built Arnage T is as good as it gets. Dripping with luxurious appointments and benefitting from the kind of build quality usually reserved for stately homes, it’s the kind of powerful, opulent ‘gentleman’s express’ that has made Bentley famous over the decades.
Here we have a very nicely specified example, presented with lovely low mileage, a good history and a superb specification. If you’re looking for a car that can whisk you across continents in whisper-quiet luxury with effortless elegance, then look no further.

Swathed in Linen leather, with Beluga piping, the interior is a haven of serene luxury. All the leather appears to be in excellent condition, with barely any visible marks, and only the lightest signs of use.
Similarly, the black carpets and matched lamb’s wool overmats are in fine condition, with no signs of damage we could see. We’re assured that the headliner is in excellent order, with no sagging or damage.
With a full bank of gauges dotted across the dashboard fascia, and very high quality switchgear, the driving compartment is more akin to something from a luxury yacht than a car. As far as we could see, there is no notable wear or marking to any of the instruments or switchgear, and it’s nice to see proper physical controls when so many vehicles today rely on touchscreens. We really like the Piano Black trim, it offers a much more modern feel compared to the usual wood veneer. There are other luxury touches in the cabin, including rear picnic tables and a small cooler fridge, and even an original Nokia phone in the front armrest.
The boot area is, as usual in an Arnage, extremely commodious, with more than enough space for a number of cases. Trimmed with smart black carpet, it also features the original toolkit.
The Exterior
Beluga black paintwork
Lovely brightwork
Original alloy wheels
We’re told by the vendor that the paintwork has recently been professionally polished, and it certainly looks to be in very good condition, with a deep shine and lustrous finish. We didn’t see any signs of damage or notable marks. We’re told by the vendor that there has been some repainting to the off-side front wing, but it’s clearly been very well done.
The bodywork is in similarly good condition, with no damage or corrosion evident. The panels look smooth and the panel gaps all look even. It’s complemented with plenty of brightwork, which all looks in fine fettle, that iconic large front grille shimmering very nicely. Apparently, there is some minor peel to the chrome of the off-side mirror, but nothing that would concern us.
It rides on the original 19” alloy wheels, which are in very good order and still offer plenty of sidewall to aid that cushioned ride. The tyres are a matched set of Pirellis, which appear to be in good condition, with healthy levels of tread.
Looking under the car, the underside presents very well, with no evidence we could discern of damage or corrosion. It’s all very clean, tidy and confidence-inspiring.
The Mechanics
6,750cc V8 twin-turbo
6-speed automatic transmission
With that iconic and barrel-chested twin-turbo V8 offering a massive 450bhp and 875Nm, there’s more than enough power on tap to shove this vast limo along at huge pace. The engine bay itself is very clean and tidy, with no evidence of leaks or damage we could see.
Accompanying that huge V8, the ZF automatic transmission offers the kind of smooth and unruffled progress you’d expect from a Bentley.
We’re told by the vendor that the car drives very well, accelerating well, riding smoothly and shifting as it should. We’re also told there are no leaks, no smoke under load and no untoward noises when driving.
Summary
Few cars carry the cache of a Bentley when it comes to being a luxury limousine. Beautifully finished with impeccable material quality and a very high specification, there are few cars on the road that offer the kind of palatial comfort and deep performance of a Bentley Arnage R.
This example is finished in an attractive colour scheme, with a high spec, genuinely low mileage and a good service history. It would make for superb daily luxury transport, or as something to wheel out for special occasions or trips to the south of France.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
