SOLD: 2005 Bentley Continental GT

Only 3 former keepers and most recently under the same ownership from 2015 to date. Since then, the car has covered 25k miles with the odometer now showing just 72,055 miles. Given the Continental GT’s ability to devour miles in luxurious comfort, this makes it a desirable low mileage example.

Presented in the perfect colour combination of Dark Sapphire (Blue) with Ochre leather, the paint has a deep shine whilst the interior is also virtually unmarked. Options include some desirable Mulliner pack features and Push Button Start/Stop, Cruise Control, Digital Climate Control, Paddle Shift, Electric Windows/Mirrors, Remote Locking, Multi-function steering wheel, 19" Brilliant silver Mulliner alloy wheels, Parking Sensors, Satellite Navigation, Electric Heated Memory Seats.

The tyres are all quality matching Pirelli P-Zero items with plenty of tread remaining (>5mm). A recent service report from August 2023 also shows all four brake pads and discs to be just 10% worn having been recently replaced. The Bentley received a thorough 10k service this August and at the same time also benefitted from a new quality Exide battery at a cost of £300, the air-conditioning re-gassing and a new CV boot. The 6.0 litre, twin-turbocharged W12 unit has been religiously serviced and there are no issues with the powerplant, gearbox or any other items. The MOT is valid until February 2025 and there were no advisory items the last time this was issued - everything functions exactly as the technicians in Crewe intended.

The most recent service was to ensure everything was perfect for an upcoming European tour to Italy which sadly has not taken place.

The Bentley is fitted with a Tracker of which the subscription can be renewed by the new custodian if they so wish. Naturally all paperwork is present for this too along with both sets of keys.

The Continental GT received critical acclaim at its launch and remains an extremely capable and well-appointed sports grand-tourer today. Attentive servicing is a must however and this example has been cherished by its low number of owners and therefore serviced accordingly. This example is arguably in the most befitting colour and specification too.
