Highlights

Only 33,100 miles from new
Well specified car with Mulliner trimmings
Impressive specialist service history
One of the last built with post-2007 enhancements
Later Arnage T with 490bhp and improved gearbox
MOT to March 2025 with no advisories

The Appeal

The Arnage was the last of a certain type of Bentley. Fully hand-built and equipped with the traditional 6.8litre V8, later cars like this one were also thoroughly modern. They increasingly borrowed the improved technology from newer cars like the Continental GT.

This 2009 car is one of the last built, beautifully finished in Tempest Silver metallic with Portland ivory interior and a host of tasty Mulliner trimmings. Post-2007 Arnage Ts like this one got more power - increased to 490bhp - and the well regarded 6spd automatic gearbox from the Continental GT.

Thanks to the very low mileage and impeccable service and maintenance records, it arrives with us in very good condition. It is one of the best we have seen recently.

The recent maintenance by specialist Wraith Continental is thoroughly reassuring. It shows regular servicing irrespective of mileage plus attention to any and every minor repair requirement. The MOT history is similarly impressive with few advisories and regular passes since 2012.

Last serviced by March 2024 by Wraith and equipped with a long, advisory-free MOT, it is both resplendent and ready to indulge the buyer.
