Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
Sumptuous cabin, an effortlessly smooth ride, and immense power under the bonnet makes this Bentley Arnage R a true delight to drive.
The Bentley Arnage was launched in 1998 and remained in production until 2009. It marked the marque’s first all-new design since 1980. This particular car is the facelifted R variant, generously equipped with a host of factory-fitted optional extras. The R boasts twin turbochargers paired with the legendary 6.75L V8, delivering around ~450BHP. With a 0–60 time of just 5.8 seconds and a top speed nearing ~168MPH, it certainly doesn’t lack performance — an impressive achievement considering its size and the level of luxury inside.
This example is finished in the Bentley colour of “Dark Sapphire Pearl” with a "Magnolia" interior. It comes from ~2 years of careful ownership, serviced earlier this year by a Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist, and has covered only ~19,000 miles over its life. A face-lift version, the car has seen just 5 former keepers, judging by the condition of the car, it's been well pampered over the years.
This listing was written from information supplied by Jacob after meeting Keith the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

I'M INTERESTEDAsk Questions
Hi Kieth- is this a 4 speed auto or the later 6 speed?
Hello Keith
The error codes (P0491 and P0492) noted on your invoice from Specialist Cars dated 28/2/2025 refer to possible issues with the Secondary Air Injection system. They say they have cleared the engine light fault but add “if fault persists further investigation required” my experience is that unless remedial action is taken the fault will persist and the engine warning light will re-appear – which can be a rather expensive problem. I can see no reference to any further work being undertaken on this issue – could you comment on this please?
most cars have dash lights come on now and again a bentley has the same issues . when you own a high end car you should be prepared for the odd high end bill , this car is 20 years old thanks
Thank you so much!!
I have, over the last 40 years been fortunate enough to have owned a great many “high end cars” as you put it. Amongst which were two Bentley Arnage – a 4000 mile two year old Green Label purchased in 2000 and a 36000 mile Arnage T special order purchased in 2010. My question was to ascertain whether or not any further investigation had been carried out into the problem? I can’t say that your reply overwhelms me with confidence in that respect but I am grateful for your advice regarding the possibility that a high end bill may be on the horizon!!
Thanks again.
