The Appeal
In the realm of luxurious executive express cars, the elegantly named Continental Flying Spur really has no equals. It delivers the task of travelling quickly in comfort as only a big, spacious Bentley can.
These are cars that reward and cosset in equal measure. This low mileage late-model, first generation car sports a particularly appealing dark grey and cream colour scheme and is in remarkable condition for a 12 year old car. The first owner specified it very tastefully - beyond the colours there is a Naim stereo, climate seats with massage function and lovely dark burr walnut veneers that neatly accent the vast interior.
It has been well maintained too, a run of Bentley main dealer stamps from new to 50,752 miles. It is now on just 55,822 miles. Reserved for Sunday drives and stored in a climate controlled garage, this is a very good example of these sumptuous saloons.
