Highlights
- Bespoke two-tone white and black colour scheme
- Distinctive 22ind multispoke alloys
- Recent suspension and brake work
- MOT to March 2025
- Good history file of regular maintenance
The Appeal
The key to buying a Continental GTC is personalisation. The factory encourages buyers to bespoke their cars and it is a theme picked up by a raft of specialist aftermarket companies.
This GTC definitely fits that trend. Originally fully finished in Diamond Black metallic by the factory, it now sports a distinctive two-tone off-white and black finish that is accented with a set of smart multispoke 22in alloys in black. Inside there is a smart Magnolia leather cabin with further individualising including embossed backrests and piano black veneers.
The car has amassed a good history file of maintenance, including the sort of ‘no expense spared’ repairs to suspension, brakes and other areas that buyers will no doubt find reassuring. The MOT runs to the end of March.
A GTC is as much a statement as a car and this one stands out.
