2005 Bentley Continental GT

Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • Only 54,261 miles from new
  • Good overall condition with excellent interior
  • Supercar performance with extensive luxury 

The Appeal

When it was released in 2003, the Continental GT was offered at a lower price than the previous Continental offerings, being mass-produced with far higher numbers. The result is that a larger userbase got to experience the super-powered luxury motor for the first time. With a mighty W12 twin-turbo engine, there’s no doubt it’s a literal and figurative trailblazer. 
This example is beautifully appointed, and is only being sold as the current owner isn’t able to spare the time to enjoy it. As a result, you’ve got a killer opportunity to take on an impressive low-mileage example, and see what all the fuss is about.
