The Appeal

Bentley is at its best when it's true to its roots. With 400bhp and 835Nm torque, the Arnage Red Label would surely get the nod of approval from the late W.O. harking back to the glorious Cricklewood years when Bentley dominated Le Mans, the Arnage was the sporting Bentley aimed at the "owner-driver" that enthusiasts of the marque had been craving for years.

This 2002 example is the well-regarded 'Red Label' model, which refers to its 7.75-litre turbocharged L Series V8. Now under Volkswagen's wing, Bentley had phased out the smaller BMW engine that the Arnage initially launched with.

Supplied new to Spain in left-hand drive, it has had several British owners, making its way back and forth to the UK on several occasions, visiting several renowned specialists, including Silver Lady Services and Colbrook R&B. The vendor is the car's third registered keeper and it shows a mere 70,000 km (44,000 miles) on the odometer.

If you're looking for an original, well-sorted example - you've found it. Years of garage storage and a favourable Iberian climate have been kind to this Bentley, and with so few kilometres under its belt, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better one.
