The Appeal
The world of luxurious convertible GTs got a shot in the arm with the launch of the handsome Continental GTC in autumn 2006. Equipped with Bentley’s superlative W12 tour de force engine and hand-crafted fittings, it entered a market with few obvious competitors.
This smart Beluga black metallic GTC was one of the first off the line and has covered few miles since. In well preserved condition with full service history – mainly by Bentley dealers – it also has the appeal of recent service and long MOT. Few cars quite deliver the sense of occasion of a Bentley convertible and this one looks well cared for.
