The Appeal

Hitting the market in 2005 as their new premium range-topper, the Flying Spur was effectively the full four-door variant of the Continental GT. It beautifully captured the company's 21st-century ethos of everything, everywhere, all at once. For your money, you got the utmost luxury, an enormous list of options and performance that could get you moving at over 200mph - the first four-door Bentley to ever achieve the double-ton.

Of all of the Flying Spurs, though, there's one that stands head-and-shoulders above the entirety of Bentley's catalogue - the W12S comes with more attitude; extra power and torque are complemented by more responsive handling, while dark-tinted design details hint at the performance intent of the Flying Spur W12S.

Boasting a simply enormous 12-cylinder masterpiece under the bonnet, the car's already remarkable capacity is boosted to an exhilarating, high-octane 626hp. To complement all of that grunt under the bonnet, it also featured a more responsive chassis set up, with damper and stability control specially developed to make it a remarkably driver-friendly ride.

No bones about it - this was a car that stirred the soul, got your hair standing on end, and kept you in a high-society comfort while doing so - though the price was so high, even for one of Crewe's finest, that it's become one of the rarest 21st-century Bentleys ever.

This handsome example is exactly that, finished in a unique and rather sumptuous Peacock Blue. This beautiful, full-sized luxury motor is in very good condition and has been regularly serviced by Bentley dealers - with the last service undertaken in November 2024.

Having covered only 39,081 miles from new, it's a beautifully specified car that's got everything going for it. If you're seeking truly premium levels of luxury, you won't find much better than the Flying Spur - and you certainly won't find many opportunities to rival this one.

Sleek lines and imposing proportions are the foundation of the Flying Spur, and this one's cost-option colour of Peacock Blue perfectly captures the car's luxurious persona - adding a distinctive lustre that's impossible to ignore,

Carrying only a few gentle signs of use, particularly on the rear bumper as shown, this low-mileage car has been kept true-to-factory, with its original alloys, Bentley Branding and tilt-and-slide sunroof all proudly on display.

Underneath, the car looks reassuringly solid and free of any significant corrosion.

Quilted, heated and ventilated seats
Heated 3-spoke hide-trimmed steering wheel

Stepping into the Flying Spur's cabin immerses you in a world that very firmly sits in the upper echelons. Loaded with class and comfort, with quilted seats and a hide-trimmed steering wheel, the car boasts ample carbon fibre, heating, massage functions and even privacy telephone.

The radiator and window surrounds as well as lights, rear bumper, door handle inserts and headlight washer caps, front and rear lamps are dark tinted, while the front bumper, rear diffuser, door mirrors and front radiator matrix are finished in a gloss black.

Everything is in fine order, with no significant signs of wear - as you might expect for such a luxuriously finished car with such a low mileage. The twin-tone hides and carbon fibre all perfectly match the Peacock Blue paintwork, and really do set this fine example apart.

Fitted with the relatively scarce W12 powerplant, the Flying Spur is a work of art under the bonnet as well as outside of it. This is a true thoroughbred, capable of over 600hp and a top speed of over 200mph - and a rare, desirable specification compared to the lower-priced V8 engine option that was introduced for the second generation.

Serviced throughout by Bentley main dealers, this car has been maintained well and, we're told, is running every bit as well as you'd expect. We've no reports of any mechanical issues and we understand it to be ready and waiting to hit the road with its lucky new owner.
