THE APPEAL 


With its seductive, recognisable style, glamorous and sophisticated interiors and an enormous 6.0L W12 power plant, there’s no surprise that the Bentley Continental GT found itself on the driveways of footballers and celebrities across the globe. 

Hand-assembled in England, this spectacular grand tourer provides the most pedigree, stately experience to anyone fortunate to be able to sit within its beautifully styled shell. A twin-turbocharged, W12 engine is paired with a Torsen-based permanent four-wheel-drive system, allowing this gentlemen's club on wheels to reach speeds of over 60mph in less than 5 seconds. 

This 2005 example has been cared for considerably throughout its life, being garaged by its previous owner for 12 years plus minor recommissioning works to the seats have helped keep this Continental GT in superb condition. 

Accompanied by its original backpack and an array of supporting invoices totalling thousands of pounds plus advisory-free MOTs since 2021, this grand-tourer looks to be an excellent example of the iconic British Grand Tourer.
