The Appeal
You could buy this Bentley because you want to stand out, or you could buy it because it is a remarkably well-maintained, low-mileage car. The history file is one of the most extensive and comprehensive we’ve seen, and the car is extremely well preserved for a 21-year-old vehicle.
The current vendor acquired the car in 2014 and has only added 2,000 miles in that time. The paintwork was changed in 2016 from factory Moonbeam Silver to Magenta, also a factory colour, at a cost of £28,000. The work included removing the glass and body panels to complete the job properly and fitting 21-inch Bentley wheels. Photographs are provided below.
The history file is impressive with a raft of invoices from main dealers and specialists. The car has reportedly covered just 10 miles since the last service in 2023. The MOT verifies the condition as it runs to July 2026 with no advisories.
The vendor says:
“Driving as close to when it was new. Being sold on behalf of the owner who can no longer drive.”
