2008 Bentley Continental GTC

Pre-bids

Highlights

  • Only 40,004 miles from new 
  • Extensive service history with Bentley specialists and dealers
  • Includes two new front tires and suspension work this year
  • MOT valid until April 2027

The Appeal

With its twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 delivering effortless performance, the GTC is rightly regarded as one of the finest examples of just how sporty a Bentley can be. Producing a remarkable 550 hp and a top speed of around 200 mph, it's sure to get your pulse racing on the road, yet it can just as easily relax the lucky driver in a comfortable, leather-wrapped cocoon away from the outside world. 
This 2008 example has covered just 40,003 miles and benefits from a service history that includes work by P&A Wood, one of the most respected Bentley main dealers, with more recent servicing entrusted to a Bentley specialist. The seller describes the car as being in very good condition throughout and considers it a fine prospect for its next owner.

With an MOT valid until April 2027 and plenty of recent investment under its belt, we think this car checks all the boxes.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorcycles for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase. 
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalized, or heritage vehicle registration (license plate) is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
