Description
This is a genuine private sale of a well-kept 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur. I bought the car from my close friend Colin, who sadly passed away in June this year. He had looked after it carefully. And now I too have to move into medical-assisted housing, so I need to find the right new owner to continue looking after her.
Since Colin’s time with the car I have had a full service carried out, including new spark plugs and a brand-new battery. The recent MOT advisory (nearside inner track rod end slight play) has also been resolved. The car currently has a valid MOT until 14 June 2027 and is taxed. Mileage is 115, 000 miles and has been consistent on the MOT history.
Unfortunately we never received any service history from Colin when I bought the car, so there is nothing on file from before my ownership. I am happy to be open about that. Free online checks confirm the usual official details (MOT history, tax status, etc.). A We Buy Any Car online valuation recently came in at £5, 580 (photograph of the email attached). While that is an option, I would much rather the Bentley went to somebody who appreciates it and will look after it properly. Offers above that figure are invited.
Because of the move into medical-assisted property I have not had time to finish a few small jobs. The automatic tyre pressure monitor needs new batteries. The driver’s window occasionally sticks and needs further investigation. The rear left-hand lens is cracked but remains legal. The car also has a Cat C insurance history from an earlier year; we have no further details of that incident.
She is a proper Bentley – comfortable, powerful W12, and still a pleasure to drive. Viewing is by arrangement in the Telford / Oakengates area. Serious enquiries only, please. Happy to answer questions honestly and provide the MOT certificate and any other paperwork I have.
Asking £7, 495. Please contact by Car & Classic messages only — no phone calls. Collection preferred. Buyer welcome to arrange their own independent inspection.
I bought the car after its previous owner, Colin, sadly passed away, and intended to keep it. Since then my health has changed and I can no longer drive it, so I am selling after a short period of ownership.
I was able to arrange fully comprehensive insurance for £354 (my first quote was over £3, 500), so it is worth shopping around.
