‘CU06 JVX’ is being offered for sale after being in the care of its late owner since 2018. Presented in white with beige leather interior, it has been rated by the vendor’s estate’s representative as ‘good’ with regards to 6-litre eight-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, interior and electrics, and ‘average’ for bodywork and paintwork. An HPI check reveals that this car was original painted green, though does not confirm a date of colour change. MOT records appear to support the indicated 75, 000 mileage.
Launched at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT differed from the previous Continental R and T models in being mass produced rather coach-built, which allowed far greater numbers to be manufactured at a more attractive price – the cost at launch was literally less than half that of Continental R, thereby dramatically widening the potential customer base. The four-wheel drive coupe in optimal Speed form was powered by a twin-turbocharged W12 engine of 6. 0-litres, the output of which was a mighty 600bhp – sufficient for a 0-60mph acceleration time of some 4. 3 seconds and top speed in excess of 200mph! Other elements that differentiated the Speed model from its standard siblings included lower suspension and wider-rimmed alloy wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres.
