The Appeal
The Flying Spur could only have been a Bentley. Robust, handsome lines, sumptuous hand-tooled luxury and the viscerally quick W12 6L twin turbo powerplant all made this a fitting addition to the firm's illustrious saloon car lineage.
This low mileage car has had just four previous keepers and been well maintained. Finished in classic dark blue metallic with a Dark Sapphire, Portland and Nautic leather interior, it is a well kept car that the vendor says ‘drives beautifully.’
He acquired the car in 2023 from its elderly keeper. Both have used it sparingly in recent years, which explains the documented 60,348 miles from new. The result is a car showing little wear inside and out.
The car has long, advisory-free MOT to February 2026. The vendor notifies us of an intermittent brake issue saying that there are ‘occasional instances where the brakes may not respond as they should.’
The vendor says:
“This car is in very good condition for its age, supported by a decent service history. The interior is spotless, presenting a clean and well-maintained cabin. As expected with a vehicle of its vintage, there are some age-related marks and scratches on the exterior.
“It starts and drives very well, offering a smooth and reliable performance, with the sole exception of an intermittent brake issue.”
