Highlights
- Potent ‘black on black’ colour scheme
- Well maintained with recent November 2025 service
- Regularly serviced by Bentley for most of its life
- Much-improved second generation car
- MOT valid to May 2026
The Appeal
Beneath the lightly evolved profile of the second-generation Continental GT lay significant improvements in reliability, drivability and technology. Thankfully, the potent twin-turbo W12 engine was carried over.
This 2012 W12 dials up the drama of these viscerally capable 550bhp machines with its ‘black on black’ colour scheme. Outside, the Deep Black paintwork is augmented with 21-inch black alloys, privacy glass and black trim, whilst inside you’ll find black quilted leather and piano black veneers. It works well and is, throughout, in very good order for a 13-year-old car.
The vendor advises us that the car was serviced annually by Bentley to 50,000 miles. It arrives on the market with a service in November 2025 and MOT to May 2026. There are a couple of extremely minor MOT advisories to note, but nothing of concern.
