The Appeal

The Bentley Flying Spur W12 is a high-performance luxury saloon that embodies the pinnacle of automotive craftsmanship and engineering. Under its elegant bonnet lies the potent 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine. This powerplant propels the Flying Spur from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.9 seconds and onto a top speed of 200 mph, offering exhilarating performance that belies its size and weight.

The Flying Spur W12 is a haven of luxury and refinement inside. Its interior is meticulously crafted with the finest materials, including hand-stitched leather upholstery, exquisite wood veneers, and polished metal accents. Advanced technology seamlessly integrates with the opulent surroundings, featuring a state-of-the-art infotainment system and a host of comfort and convenience features.

Costing in excess of £120,000 when new, this stunning 2008 example is now available for a fraction of that price some 16 years later. With just over 14,000 miles covered from new, it represents a fantastic purchase for anyone wanting to step into the world of luxury saloons at the highest level.

The Condition

Beautifully presented example
Probably the pinnacle of luxurious motoring
Superb leather interior
Seven-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels
Rear half privacy glass

Finished in gloss black, the paintwork on the Bentley is in superb condition, having only covered 14,876 miles. The panel fit is also excellent, with matching gaps throughout.

Starting at the front, factory-fitted parking sensors are present, the quad headlights are in good condition with no damage to the lenses, and the iconic Bentley mesh grille is in good order.

Looking down the long flanks, there are no dings or dents to note, and all of the windows appear free from any noticeable scratches. One optional extra is the sunroof, which operates as it should. At the rear, parking sensors are again fitted, and the all-red rear light units are free from damage.

Fitted with the factory 19-inch alloy wheels, these are in quite good condition, with just a few minor kerb marks on a couple of the wheels. A matching set of Pirelli tyres is fitted, with a good amount of tread remaining. There is minor damage to the sidewall of the off-side tyre.

Inside, you can appreciate the sheer luxuriousness of the Bentley Flying Spur. The saddle/burnt oak leather interior is in fantastic condition, with minimal signs of age on the seats, thanks to the low mileage. All four door cards are in good order and free from scuffs or scratches. The contrasting black and saddle leather dashboard is complemented by the lovely burnt oak trim, which features a high-gloss finish to match the door card inserts.

The instruments and switchgear are all working correctly, with no issues reported. The odometer shows a reading of 14,876 miles. The Bentley features satellite navigation and a six-disc CD changer. For rear passenger entertainment, screens are expertly crafted into the headrests, along with a dropdown tray and vanity mirror.

Deep-pile carpets are fitted throughout the cabin and are in fantastic condition. Inside the boot, it is clean and tidy, and there is also an official Bentley trickle charger to prevent any unwanted battery drain when in storage.

The Mechanics

6.0-litre W12
Approximately 552hp
Capable of 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds
Six-speed automatic (with paddle shifter option)

The 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 is the powerhouse inside the Flying Spur – and what a choice of engine to finish off this luxury saloon.

The car fires up as expected and sounds super smooth. It’s so smooth, in fact, that it’s difficult to hear. There are no warning lights on the dashboard or issues reported by the vendor, meaning the Bentley is good to go.

Looking around the engine bay and the underside of the car, the condition clearly matches that of a low-mileage example such as this.
