Highlights

  • Limited production with only 100 cars globally

  • Major manufacturer's routine service completed in February 2024

The Appeal


In 2011, rally legend Juha Kankkunen took off in a Bentley Continental Supersports on a frozen stretch of the Baltic. The Ice Speed Record was duly shattered with a record of 330.695 km/h (a whisker over 205mph), and, naturally, Bentley saw the opportunity to mark the occasion in style.

It's fair to say that the Continental GTC ISR is not a car of subtlety - brash red-and-black colour schemes, blistering speeds, elaborate red carbon fibre weave detailing and a big, loud sports exhaust very quickly sets this as the boldest Bentley of its generation - not to mention the fastest and most powerful upon release.

Only 100 were built, and only 19 were supplied for the UK market. Indeed, upon release, these cars were 'invite-only' and may well be among the most genuinely exclusive, distinctive, and unique cars in Bentley's history. After all, the other editions that competed with this one are significantly more subtle.

Only 100 built, 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds, 643bhp and exclusive, dramatic red accents. If that sounds like something you're after, congratulations - your new Bentley awaits. This particular car is in remarkable condition, with a very low mileage, plenty of time on its advisory-free MOT and an excellent service history. Not to be missed!

History and Paperwork

  • Released in 2013 as a limited edition of only 100
  • Registered in the UK with 2 former registered keepers
  • Major manufacturer's routine service completed in February 2024 at 28,393 miles
  • Indicates only 30,068 miles - which is verified by the car's history
  • Advisory-free MOT until October 2025
Accompanied by plenty of paperwork including:
  • V5c document
  • Stamped service record book with over 40 main dealer contacts for servicing and mechanical work
  • Extensive service history with Bentley Surrey and Bentley Sussex
  • A selection of invoices
  • Original handbooks and manuals 

The Condition

  • Highly presented with no signs of significant wear
  • Beluga Black paintwork looks in very good order
  • Striking red vents, red Supersports ISR graphics and dramatic 20" two-tone alloys
  • Soft top in excellent order with no rips or tears 
This is a car that demands attention. The Continental's subtle lines are made ten times more striking by its ample lashes of red. A walk around the Beluga Black car is punctuated by red bonnet vents, Supersports graphics, and dramatic red alloys, all of which utterly dominate any space it occupies. 

This fabulous example is in exemplary condition, with little sign of wear - as you'd expect for such a highly maintained, low-mileage car. We can spot only the gentlest signs of use, and the chassis is still in excellent, solid order. For all intents and purposes, this handsome convertible is close to Concours. 
  • Supersports quilted leather upholstery, piped in Pillar Box Red
  • High-gloss carbon fibre with red-tinted weave on the dashboard and console
  • Specially designed red-accented Breitling clock
  • Excellent condition with no rips, tears or sag to the upholstery 
The colour scheme of the car's bodywork remains fluid in its striking cabin. Red-tinted carbon-fibre weave completely dominates, with a smooth, beautifully presented dashboard that's perfectly organised into an uncluttered, user-friendly array - packed with the creature comforts a discerning Bentley keeper should expect. 

Our example is in excellent order. The upholstery is free of any rips or tears, the instruments are clean and legible, and we understand everything in its handsome array of features and options to be in good working order. These cars thrive off of their driver comforts and are bound to impress any driver - so doing so in such a bold, two-tone package is bound to blow you away. 

The Mechanics

  • 6-litre twin-turbocharged W12
  • 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds
  • 643bhp
  • Automatic transmission
  • Sports exhaust
  • Recent major manufacturer's routine service completed in February 2024
High-octane to the extreme - upon release, the ISR was the fastest, most powerful Bentley in the company's near-century of existence. popping open the bonnet reveals a real monster of a 12-cylinder engine, offering 643bhp and a top speed intended to equal that covered by Juha Kankkunen upon the Baltic ice.

This particular car has been lavishly treated, proven by an extensive service history. We understand it's still running like every bit the thoroughbred, with no mechanical issues to note. The vendor tells us that it's ready and waiting to be driven away, and we're sure that the lucky new owner will be beyond impressed.
