The Appeal
Bentley are one of the all-time legendary British brands - an unmatched symbol of luxury and performance. Of the Bentley Continentals, it's arguably the GT Speed that most exemplifies the latter. The second generation, like the one you see here, was capable of hitting over 200mph and offered over 600hp. That'd be impressive for any car, let alone a luxury coupe.
This Bentley Continental GT Speed is a well-preserved example of the model.
This vehicle has been maintained meticulously, with investment by the current and previous owners. Following an overhaul in May 2023 under the previous owner the car has seen further investment to bring it to a higher standard over the past 18 months. These investments include a new Radiator, a new kessy control unit, replacement boot motor, two new batteries, refurbishing 4x alloy wheels and fitting them with 4 new PIRELLI PZERO Tyres, new steering column, suspension sensor and a new water proof tricker charger socket.
The exterior bodywork is in immaculate condition with the paintwork in excellent condition. The interior is also immaculate with all seats in fantastic condition, the trim in excellent condition and all of the buttons and switches working. The car entertainment system includes a SAT NAV, TEL connection, CD Player and connections to BLUETOOTH.

Car has original Continental GT Quick Reference Guide and Service Handbook and Owners Handbook. I brought the car in December 2023 to drive for personal use and have some fun. From the first day the car has been excellent to drive, you can feel the luxury in the seats, the feel of the car and the driving. It also looks fantastic on the drive and certainly turns heads.
All the steering wheel controls work as does the entertainment system.
These rear spoiler comes up at ~80mph plus and the car feels like it hugs the road even more. I managed to pick up 2 speeding tickets until I turned on the cruise control :-)
I have never been asked so many questions at service stations and in car parks by people wanting to have a look.
I am selling as I recently got my hands on a new Porsche Taycan, all electric, as these are great for company car tax and corporation tax. I only have room for 1 car in the garage so I had to sell either the Bentley or my Ford Mustang so the Bentley is unfortunately for sale.
The car does have a cover, and the trickle charger works if you choose to keep it of the road or in your garage.
