We love the Arnage. Built briefly in small numbers between its long-standing predecessor and the later Flying Spur, these cars are a very appealing blend of the best of both cars - old school hand-crafting with modern technology.

That they are the last to feature the firm's illustrious 6.75L V8 - albeit heavily reworked - is another reason to want one. A duo of big turbos nudged the high performance Arnage T's power over the psychologically significant 500bhp bar to deliver a luxury saloon with the heart of a supercar.

If you're in the market for one of these rare cars - and why wouldn't you by - then your next thoughts are likely to be around specification and maintenance. This car is classically finished in 'black on black' with an array of bespoke Mulliner features including the signature quilted leather.

The maintenance history is remarkable. In 2023 the car went to a marque specialist for a through check over and for any - even minor - issues to be rectified. Over £20,000 later the car emerged thoroughly refreshed. You can check the extent of that work in the photos. It also has recent front and rear brake discs and pads.

This is a very well specified example of the desirable facelift Arnage T. A long MOT with no advisories adds yet more reasons to add this to your New Year's Wish List.

Finished in Beluga Black, the Bentley's paintwork is in very good condition and presents well, with no dings or dents spotted. The panel gaps all appear to match. Some paintwork was carried out on the sunroof in 2022, and minor dings were removed using a paintless dent removal specialist.

Starting at the front, the lower section of the bumper has some light stone chips, but this is expected for the age and mileage. The headlights are in good order, with no damage to the lenses, and, of course, the legendary Flying B mascot sits in pride of place.

Walking along the 5,390mm body, the lines of the Arnage remain unspoilt, with no dings or dents. The chrome door handles and window trims are in good condition, with no signs of tarnishing, and the windows appear free from noticeable scratches. A sunroof is also fitted and functioning correctly. At the rear, there are no scuffs on the bumper thanks to rear parking sensors, and all the light units are in good order, with no splits or cracks in the lenses.

The original split-rim wheels were refurbished in 2022. They present well, although there are some minor corrosion spots under the paint, which have been noted in the refurbishment invoice.

Inside, it steps up from a luxury Bentley to an ultra-luxurious Bentley Mulliner. The first thing you notice is the luxurious quilted leather seats, which feature the embroidered Bentley logo. The seats are in very good condition, with no excessive wear other than some light creasing, as you would expect.

The leather dashboard and piano black fascia are in good order, while the chrome bezel instruments and switchgear are all present, in good condition, and reportedly functioning correctly. The odometer shows the Bentley has covered 83,791 miles.

The carpets are in good condition, showing no real wear, but could benefit from a good vacuum to refresh the interior. The boot is also clean and tidy, containing spare bulbs, a towing eye, and a first aid kit stored under the floor.

Mr P.A. Titley is the engineer responsible for building engine number 200237 at Bentley’s Crewe headquarters, which powers this 2006 Arnage T. The engine fires up without hesitation and runs as it should, with no issues reported by the vendor.

This car comes to market just 4,000 miles after over £20,000 was invested through a Bentley specialist in 2023. The car was health checked by the garage and then all necessary work was completed, however minor. You can check and dissect that work in the history file. It is genuinely impressive. It is no surprise that the current MOT shows no advisories and runs to August 2025. 

On the road, the Bentley is as smooth as silk, with no knocks or bangs coming from any corner of the car. It stops in a straight line with no issues. The car's underside appears to be in good order, with just a small amount of surface corrosion on some areas of the floor and suspension, in keeping with the vehicle's age.
