- Well appointed and cared for British coupe
The Appeal
The Continental GT cleverly evoked the best of Bentley – you could imagine it hurtling down the Mulsanne Straight in the hands of the Bentley Boys – whilst updating the brand by embracing technology. Its W12 6litre powerhouse being a case in point.
Each one could be carefully personalised to suit individual tastes. In 2004 the Mulliner Driving Specification introduced a package of enhancements that leaned into the car’s potent sporting intent, including piano black trim, quilted and embossed seats and exclusive 20in alloys.
This example is one of those desirable cars and retains all its bespoke factory features. Subtly finished in dark blue, it is a tastefully understated Continental GT with a huge history file with full run of servicing work.
Well maintained Continental GTs rightly command premiums and this one definitely ticks that box.
