The Appeal
With the Continental GTC Bentley recreated a market that had long lain dormant: very high quality, carefully bespoked luxury convertibles for the discerning. It was a huge success and good examples remain in demand.
The GTC blended hand-crafted Bentley workmanship with the superlative W12 6litre twin turbo engine, a marriage of traditional and technology that has rarely been matched.
This low mileage GTC comes to us with an appealing specification, its black paintwork cleverly contrasted with light leathers and woods inside. It has been pampered by Bentley dealers and has a long MOT attesting to its condition. Big, capable and luxurious four seater convertibles really do not get much better than this.

The Condition
- Bodywork, paintwork and interior reflect investment and care of owners
- Low mileage is also reflected in the excellent condition for year
- Looks smart in black on grey anodised 10 spoke 21in optional alloy wheels
- The alloys are very lightly marked on the edges and some spokes
- However this does not detract from the look and is only visible close up
- Light beige interior with complementary Maplewood veneers
- Attractive two-tone colour theme inside with black dash top and cream knee roll
- Leather steering wheel follows this theme and shows little signs of wear
- Leather and veneers unmarked and reflect recent interior investment
- Factory standard car with high specification including cruise, electric memory seats, infotainment system and phone set up
- We have no reports of any issues with the electrics and switchgear work
- Cabin trim presents well with no visible marks to oft-used handles or fittings
A well specified Bentley Continental GTC is a symphony of hand-crafted features and this one clearly demonstrates that point. The low mileage is evident in the minimal wear to fittings, including the driver’s seat bolster, wheel and grab handles. A recent interior refresh costing £550 likely has kept on top of the condition.
The combination of black metallic paintwork and anodised alloy wheels – these are the optional 21in 10 spoke items – lends the car a discreet but purposeful stance. The contrasting light leather and wood interior alternately oozes opulence, surely something any Bentley buyer will relish.
This is a very well presented car that reflects the attention of the owner and the low mileage,
The Mechanics
- 5,998cc Bentley W12 twin-turbocharged engine generating 552 bhp
- 6spd automatic gearbox with sequential shift option
- Extensive maintenance history including regular main dealer health checks
- Has covered less than 2,000 miles since last service by Bentley Belfast
The W12 engine at the heart of the Continental GTC was specially developed by VAG for Bentley and is one of the world’s most innovative engines. Very smooth in the manner you expect from a Bentley and equipped with twin turbochargers, it delivers supercar performance.
With such an engine any buyer will want to see meticulous maintenance and this low mileage car has that. The recent service work is detailed above and shows annual visits irrespective of mileage. The car has also received regular and useful Health Checks.
It is sold with a long MOT to October 2024 with no advisories. This maintains an advisory-free record stretching back to the car’s first test.
