Introduction

Dom Ginn
Professional Consignor

Arguably the ultimate luxury grand tourer, the Bentley Continental GTC is both refined and sophisticated, not to mention powered by a precision engineered 6.0L W12 engine.

Launched in 2003, the Continental was the first Bentley to be made under VAG management and has succeeded to become one of Bentley's finest grand tourers, built and engineered in Cheshire.

This 'Beluga Black' Continental GTC currently belongs to Nicos who has thoroughly enjoyed the car throughout his ownership. As you would expect, it comes highly spec'd to show off the latest features and technology the Continental GTC had to offer.

The GTC is powered by the fantastic 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12 engine, which produces a whopping 552bhp with a top speed of 197.6mph, offering a fantastic wind-through hair motoring experience.

This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Nicos the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

I've owned my Bentley for just over two years and it's been a delightful car, never having let me down and offering unrivalled class and comfort.

Nicos first purchased his Bentley Continental in 2021 and having owned the car for just over two years has enjoyed every mile he's driven in it. When speaking with Nicos he says the car has been exceptional to own, drive, and enjoy - never giving him any real trouble.

Now looking to move on, Nicos has trusted us with the sale of his Bentley Continental GT.

Exterior

The Beluga Black paint work perfectly represents the sleek sense of elegance and luxury the Bentley Continental provides.

Wheels and Tyres

The grey and silver two piece alloy wheels are in good condition, with just a little rim damage that can be seen in the pictures.

The tyres are in good visual condition, these are Pirelli items DOT marked 2016 and have plenty of tread left across the board.

Bodywork

The bodywork is in good condition and free of dents or dings and presents very well for its age.

The car has had repair work to the rear end carried out by Bentley directly, details of this can be found in our paperwork gallery where there is documentation evidencing just under £3,000 worth of repairs.

We've highlighted in more detail our observations through our high resolution images and videos, so please take time to look through all the media files for a detailed view at what’s on offer, and for you to assess the condition of the car for yourselves.

Paint

Finished in ‘Beluga Black’, the paint on the Bentley Continental is in excellent condition. With the exception of minor swirl marks in the paint, the car is free of any scratches, scuffs, or other such damage.

Again, we have taken high resolution images and videos of the car for you to assess the condition of the bodywork for yourselves. The images are taken from a few different angles to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves. So please take the time to fully assess these high resolution images and videos of the car, for you to make up your own minds about the condition of the paint.

Glass and Trim

Free of any major stone chips, scratches, or cracks, the glass on the Continental is in good condition and damage-free.

Likewise the surrounding trim and brightwork is free of any deterioration or pitting.

Interior

Fully equipped with the latest technology 2008 had to offer, the Bentley Continental provides its passenger with luxury far beyond that of your typical grand tourer.

Seats and Carpets

The iconic diamond stitched and Bentley embossed leather upholstery is in excellent condition, showing no signs of wear or damage to the hide.

Likewise the carpets are in excellent condition, with no major wear or colour fading present.

Dashboard

The leather wrapped dashboard of the Bentley is yet another touch of luxury in the spacious and comfortable cabin and is free of any damage.

All switchgear and infotainment items are in fully working order too.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

The steering wheel is in great condition, with no damage or missing stitches, and with all steering wheel controls in matching condition.

The gear stick is also in good condition, being an automatic car this sees hardly any use and the condition truly reflects this.

Mechanics

With the precision engineering Bentley has put into their W12 engine you can rest assured that the Continental will provide a smooth and faultless driving experience, not to mention the 0-60mph time of just 4.8s.

Engine and Gearbox

The W12 engine was built to perform and that is exactly what it did on the day, with no issues starting from cold or whilst out on the road.

The automatic gearbox is also a precision piece of engineering, providing slick and smooth gear changes.

Suspension and Brakes

Ride comfort is an absolute must in a car of such impressive luxury and this is evident with the Bentley Continental, offering a sublime level of shock absorption that makes the whole car feel as if it were floating above the tarmac. We noticed no evident issues with either the suspension or brakes during our visit and both performed as expected whilst out on the road.

The Drive

With Bentley aiming to dominate the luxury Grand Tourer space with the Continental they had to be sure to create a luxury car that not only performed flawlessly, but offered a driving experience unlike any other in its comfort and ease, and that is exactly what Bentley achieved.

Be it racing to 60mph or cruising along the motorway for hundreds of miles, the Bentley Continental will do so in style, class, and ultimate comfort.

Electrics and Other

During our visit we noticed no issues with any of the electrical systems on board, with everything working exactly as expected.

History and Paperwork

This GTC is ideal for summer touring across the continent for many years to come and benefits from having travelled just ~20,100 miles since manufacture.

Coming to market with low mileage, 3 previous owners, and a record of maintenance carried out exclusively by Bentley dealerships, this 2008 Continental GT is ready to hit the road in style, as only a Bentley can.

The private number plate is not included in the sale.

We’ve done all our usual seller checks including photo ID, V5 and also actioned a HPi check on the vehicle.

We've summarised our own view on the car based on information gained from the seller in the listing above, however, and as you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in high resolution detail - this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. So please sit back, have a cuppa and take your time to review everything on this listing in order to make your own assessment on the vehicle's condition. Viewings are also welcomed with all our listings, so please get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time - we just need to speak to you first and receive a valid photo ID before confirming.

In the service history it shows a service every year but none for the last 3 years. Is this correct?
