THE APPEAL
To drive, or not to drive. That's the question you’ll be asking yourself with the Flying Spur on a daily basis.
As a driver, you’ll enjoy operating the brutish British 6L twin turbo W12 engine, while being surrounded by comfort and convenience.
As a rear passenger, luxury is taken to another level, with enormous amounts of space and endless comforts, such as your own climate controls, screens for your DVDs in the headrests and electronic adjustable seats that are more satisfying and relaxing than a week in the Maldives.
Bentley are the leaders of combining power and luxury and this car is their best representation of that ultimate perfection.

THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
- One owner
This Flying Spur has been in the ownership of a single individual who purchased the car in January 2006.
While they have enjoyed owning it tremendously it was purchased not to be driven by themselves but for them to be driven in, taxied to and from business meetings and airports during their professional life.
The paperwork present includes stamped original service book, plus recent invoices totalling £3,500 from Bentley Bristol who carried out a pre-sale check and advised the owner of any work that might need doing to present it in the best possible light. This work was then completed accordingly.

THE INTERIOR
- Sublime interior
- Premium leather
- Fantastic condition throughout
The interior of this Bentley is as expected, simply sublime. Every inch was carefully designed and situated to provide the finest experience possible.
Beautiful, handcrafted leather seats with walnut trims, a recipe that's been used in luxury grand tourers since the beginning, forever aesthetically sophisticated and tasteful.
The outside world is simply forgotten once the doors are shut, double glazed windows block road noise and the stresses of business, you’re left with time to think, to unwind, to work on your terms.
There’s no blemishes, or signs of wear in this car, everything looks as good as it did when it first left the factory.

THE EXTERIOR
- Minor wear throughout
- Age and mileage related condition
As the pictures show, this car is showing some sign of its age.
The most noticeable is a scuff to the rear, while the rest are typical wear and dings acquired from its 96,000 miles, most of which is made up of stone chips and parking door dings.
These minor marks take nothing away from the luxury saloons appeal, this large, gentlemans club on wheels is an impressionable vehicle, it’s large and noticeable but not intrusive or repugnant.

THE MECHANICS
- Serviced and health checked 2021
- Runs and drives without issue
During our visit the car was manoeuvred without issue or fuss, it has been serviced by a mix of main dealer and specialists over its life, with the latest being in March 2021 and 250 miles ago by Bentley of Bristol.
Further work was also carried out at this time including a new starter battery and brakes plus an MOT to June 2022.
Since retirement the car is very rarely used with only a few hundred miles being carried out in the last three years.
