LIMITED SERIES OF 52 EXAMPLES WORLDWIDE
EXAMPLE NO. 23/ 52 – RARE COLLECTOR’S MODEL
A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive Bentley Arnages in the marque’s history.
Magnificent 2000 Bentley Arnage Birkin Edition, from a special series built in just 52 examples worldwide.
This example, chassis number SCBLB51E8YCH05398, is recorded in a specialist Bentley and Rolls-Royce register as the 23rd example of this limited series.
AN EXCLUSIVE EDITION STEEPED IN PRESTIGIOUS HERITAGE
This special series pays tribute to Sir Henry “Tim” Birkin, the celebrated British racing driver and iconic figure of the legendary Bentley Boys.
Built between 2000 and 2001, this particularly rare edition stands apart from the standard Arnage through its specific characteristics and exclusivity.
With only 52 examples produced, the Birkin Edition is today a truly distinctive car in the history of the British manufacturer.
A SIGNATURE POWERTRAIN
This Bentley is fitted with the 4. 4-litre twin-turbocharged BMW V8, developed with Cosworth, producing around 354 bhp, mated to a five-speed automatic gearbox.
This engine was fitted to the Bentley Arnage for a relatively short period only, which heightens the historical appeal of this version.
It offers a remarkable balance of performance, driving pleasure and refinement.
