Reprising a name that goes back to the 1950s, the 2003 Bentley Continental was set apart from its predecessors by the use of GT coupe and GTC cabriolet badging. By the time this second-generation GTC rolled out of the Crewe production line in 2012, the Continental’s confidence-inspiring, high-mileage-worthy credentials had been firmly established—further boosted by an increasingly comprehensive standard technology list.
This GTC is finished in Glacier White with matching Linen two-tone trim. It was sold by a Bentley dealership in central London and serviced for much of its life at a garage in Hampshire. Past service invoices provide a detailed look at all the maintenance and parts replaced, as well as the car’s steadily increasing mileage, which now sits just under 60,000.
The owner describes the engine as “sweet and sounding nice”, while the car apparently “drives like new”. The underside appears clean and well maintained, while the engine bay looks immaculate. The electrically folding soft top operates cleanly and folds away neatly, with a tidy headliner. The interior appears to be in excellent condition, from the dials and chromework to the diamond-stitched leather door cards and the mesh wind deflector behind the front seats. Even the carpets and floor mats look well cared for, especially given the car’s age and mileage, particularly in the boot. image.png1.51 MB
