2008 Bentley Continental GTC

I WANT ONE

Introduction

Jacob Boodrie

Professional Consigner

Looking for the ultimate luxury grand tourer the market has to offer - look no further than the sophisticated and refined W12-powered Continental GTC.

Launched in 2003, the Bentley Continental was the first car to be made under VAG management, and has succeeded to become one of Bentley's finest grand tourers, using mass production manufacturing techniques from the factory in Crewe, Cheshire.

This 'Beluga Black' Continental GTC currently belongs to Phil who has thoroughly enjoyed touring in the car across Europe for the past 2 years. 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 mighty 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 auction listing was written from information supplied by Jacob after meeting Phil the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

Phil fancied himself a Continental, and when this all-black GTC example came up for sale he couldn't resist adding it to his collection.

Phil likes his cars, and when he was in the market for a sporty convertible he came across this luxurious Continental GTC, it met all his needs and he bought it back in 2020.

After having his fun in this thrilling grand tourer Phil has decided to part with the car and focus his attention on his favourite other pastime, restoring boats. Phil will be more than happy to answer any of your questions in the comments below.

EXTERIOR VIDEO

Exterior

Beluga Black paintwork and black gloss alloys offer a sophisticated and sporty look on any road.

Wheels and Tyres

Phil has changed out the original Silver wheels for 20" gloss black wheels, found here and presenting in overall good condition. Looking closely, we did notice some very signs of curbing to the edge on the nearside front alloy.

Phil reports Pirelli P-Zero's are fitted and dated 2011 and we did notice that the front nearside has some non structural damage to the tyre wall. View the image gallery and video review to see the detail.

Bodywork

The bodywork of this GTC presents in great condition, with all the panel gaps around the car look to align very well, just as you would expect from a luxury grand tourer car of this calibre.

Everything looked crisp and sharp - we did notice just a few age-related marks including stone chips, the odd scratch and a small ding in the passenger door.

We've highlighted in more detail our observations through our hi-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 a desirable and timeless "Beluga Black", the paint appeared in good condition on our visit, finished to a high standard, with even coverage and colour across each panel. On our visit we did notice the smallest area of flaking to the bottom offside side skirt and some light staining to paint on the rear convertible hood flap.

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 hi-resolution images and videos of the car, for you to make up your own minds about the condition of the paint.

Glass and Trim

The glass on this example looks great and in line with the mileage and ownership, we didn't notice any major chips, cracks, or discolouration on our visit. The window seals look good too and in line with the rest of the condition of the car.

Please view the image gallery to see the detail.

Mechanics

Engine and Gearbox

The real talking point of this Continental GTC is the 6.0L twin-turbo W12 engine, which produces a whopping 552bhp, 0-60mph speed of 4.8s, and a top speed of 197.6mph.

Take a look to see 'One the Road' footage and hear the 6L kick into life. Phil reports that the car goes through the gears as it should. Take a look at the mechanical video to see the car starting from cold, driving around, and for a closer look underneath the GTC, and the smart engine bay.

The car was last serviced by a local Bentley specialist ~300 miles ago in July 2022. There is a detailed history file that comes with the car recording all the previous servicing and attention.

Suspension and Brakes

Phil mentions that the suspension feels good, no unusual knocks or noises present, and we didn't observe anything on our short trip in the car.

Please view the mechanical photos and video to see underneath the car.

The Drive

The GTC offers an incredible mix of build quality, sophisticated image, and refined driving capabilities - you will not be disappointed when you sit in the cabin of the Bentley Continental.
