- Four new tyres and new Pioneer system
The Appeal
The Continental GT was an inspired idea. There had been big Bentley coupes before, of course, but the new car combined the firm’s traditional hand-built cues with modern technology and a thoroughly updated driving experience.
Then there was the illustrious W12 6litre motor, an engineering gem that was like a mike drop to the competition.
Then and now there really is nothing on the market quite like a Continental GT and this example proves the point. Handsome in Silver Frost with a sumptuous cream and burr walnut interior, its condition reflects its low miles. The care of its four owners is supported by a remarkable 16 service stamps, most by main dealers. The recent attention was less than 1,000 miles ago by Jack Barclay.
The key with these cars is condition and history and this car ticks both those boxes.
