The Appeal
The Bentley Continental GT marked a pivotal moment in Bentley's history as the first model produced under Volkswagen ownership, widely credited with revitalising the storied British marque. Launched in 2003, this grand tourer combined exceptional luxury with impressive performance from its 6-litre W12 engine and four-wheel drive system, creating a modern classic that redefined the brand. A testament to the quality of the product, the GT looks and feels as modern today as it did new.
This 2005 example stands out thanks to its rare, sophisticated Chestnut metallic paintwork, offering a distinguished alternative to the more common silver and grey finishes typically seen. With a strong service history and recent specialist attention from Prestige Services of Leeds, this Continental GT offers an opportunity to acquire a well-maintained example of Bentley's game-changing grand tourer.
