The Appeal
Often dubbed the grand finale of the all-British Bentley, the Arnage is a supremely impressive car - stocked full of impressive power, engineering and traditional coach-building. It was a milestone, and for many, represents the ultimate in the brand’s exceptional standards.
Armed with the much-celebrated 6.75L Bentley Twin-Turbo V8, with over 500bhp available for the driver, these hugely impressive motors can hit almost 180mph, and manage to be impressively agile thanks to its expertly built, electronically-managed suspension.
This example comes to us in great condition, having recently been comprehensively inspected and given a detailed replacement programme for every perishable part, at a cost of over £18,000. As a result, this hugely impressive car is perfectly tuned and ready to hit the road.

A step into the Mulliner Arnage is a heartily impressive experience. This is a very lavish vehicle, quilted in Beluga Black leather. In January 2022, the driver’s seat was re-padded and reconditioned by a specialist trimmer, leaving it in utterly superb order.
The upholstery across the board is nicely appointed, with the seats free of rips and tears and showing only minimal signs of wear. The quilted detailing, contrast stitching and Flying-B logos all add that instant reminder of the car’s brand prestige.
The door panels, armrests and handles are similarly well presented, as is the high-gloss Piano Black fascia and its inset chromed buttons. The car is still distinctly tactile, with plenty of options, a superb sound system, and everything from an arm-rest telephone to a built-in satnav system.
The headlining, carpets and mats are all clean and stain-free, with no sag to the headlining, neatly bound edging to the mats and carpets that are completely free of rips and tears. It’s a seriously lush experience - worthy of the elite - and a hugely comfortable cabin for any discerning driver.
The Exterior
- Beautiful black gloss paintwork
- Sitting on its original alloy wheels with Bentley Insignia
- Full set of Eagle F1 tyres
With its distinctive radiator and Bentley Insignias, this car’s prestigious heritage is clearly on show. Finished in Diamond Black, with gleaming chrome trims and a bright lustre. All of the bodywork appears straight and tightly knit, with no dents or corrosion that we can highlight.
The paintwork doesn’t appear to carry any chips or scratches, and we can’t locate any pitting or discolouration to the chrome. The black mesh radiator grille - a special order item - is a distinct talking point, headed with the iconic Flying B ornament.
Headlight lenses and glasswork is all clear of chips and cracks, and the car is sitting on its original 19” split-rimmed alloys, emblazoned in the Bentley monogram. These are shod in a full set of Eagle F1 tyres, that appear to be in top-notch condition.
Underneath, the Bentley looks to be in sound condition. We can’t spot any extensive corrosion or splits to the metalwork, and the exhausts presenting very nicely, with new exhaust gas temperature sensors fitted. The doors and sills look similarly solid.
The Mechanics
- Highly impressive 6.75L L-Series twin-turbo V8 engine
- ZF 6HP-26 6-speed automatic transmission
- Electronically controlled gas suspension
- New hydraulic pressure accumulator fitted
- New rear suspension gas springs
- New pipes, nuts, bolts, caps and sensors throughout
Following a complete repair job that replaced everything from perishables to sensors and tyres, this Bentley is presented in top-quality condition. Over £18,000 of work doesn’t just go anywhere - it’s a hugely detailed undertaking to make for a highly impressive, clear example of the Arnage T.
Though much of the engine bay is obscured by Bentley’s signature plasticwork, the enormous V8 looks to be in good order with no signs of leaks, corrosion or fault that we can discern. It’s all present and correct, with recently replaced hoses and a new battery.
Ultimately, this Bentley appears to be in a rare order - and thanks to the work undertaken, may well be one of the most complete, mechanically sound examples we’ve cast our eyes upon.
The vendor reports no leaks, knocks, smoke or excessive noises from the engine, and that the car is starting, accelerating, shifting and braking exactly as you’d expect from the highly impressive vehicle.
Summary
The Bentley is a vehicle that’s fully capable of selling itself. These detailed, high-tech and hugely powerful cars are the cream of the crop, the big hurrah of the British Bentley, and has taken every bit of the brand’s heritage to make for a lush, refined and highly appointed design.
