The Appeal

Yes, there are other luxury saloons. But they’re not Bentley’s Flying Spur. Whether you’re here for the supercar-bating 550bhp twin-turbocharged performance or the symphony of luxury that is the hand-crafted interior, this is the saloon car to trump all comers.

And this one is a great example. It cost £123,000 new and has covered less than 80,000 miles in the hands of five keepers. The specification is very appealing - Midnight Emerald Green metallic over an ivory and green leather cabin. There are few signs of use across the cabin’s multitude of natural, hand-tooled surfaces and outside is similarly preserved.

There is fully service history by Bentley main dealers and specialists. It has just been serviced prior to sale and will be sold with a fresh 12 months MOT. Well specified in a great colour scheme and with good provenance, this is a stand-out example.
