Introduction

Dom Ginn
Professional Consigner

Luxury and performance in perfect harmony combined with handcrafted elegance and a 6.0L twin-turbo W12 - effortless power and refined open-top motoring.

The Bentley Continental GTC Speed is the epitome of grand touring luxury, offering a perfect marriage of performance, style, and refinement. As the ultimate open-top variant in Bentley’s Continental lineup, the GTC Speed combines sweeping, elegant lines with a commanding presence that turns heads wherever it goes.

This GTC Speed is a standout example, finished in sleek black paintwork over a beautifully hand-stitched red leather interior – a striking combination that shows presence and style. In excellent condition throughout, it comes with low mileage, the highly desirable “Speed” specification and delivers a staggering ~600BHP.

The fantastic example has had servicing carried out in September 2025 covering off an oil filter change, screen wash top up, new engine oil, new key battery, engine flush and a replacement service book.

Complete with its drivers' folio, Bentley booklets and 2 sets of keys, the GTC shows in remarkable condition having been garage stored through its current ownership.

This Grand Tourer is stylish, immensely capable, and impressively quick - hard to fault in nearly any area. Please take a look over the high-resolution photos and videos to see for yourself - we’re confident it won’t disappoint.

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

Meet the owner

This car is everything I could ever want - looks, speed, and luxury comfort; it's just bliss.

The current owner, Abbas, is a keen motoring enthusiast and no stranger to high-end cars. Reflecting on his time with the GTC, he said, "The Continental is such a stand-out car for me – it looks incredible out on the road and just goes so well. The acceleration of the GTC is amazing, yet it carries itself with real composure. One of the greatest machines I’ve had the pleasure of owning."

Abbas has kept on top of maintenance, most recently commissioning a service with Bentley specialist Nigel Sandall in September 2025.

Abbas’ business partner originally purchased the car and kept it for five years, though it spent around three years in storage after he moved abroad. Eventually deciding not to return, he sold the car to Abbas, who has since enjoyed it but is now downsizing his collection due to limited storage.

Abbas told us, "If I had the space, I’d keep it without question – it’s one of my all-time favourite drives. Unfortunately, I need to free up room, and with nowhere suitable to store it, I’ve decided to let it go".

Should you have any further queries about the car, Abbas will be happy to answer them in the comments section below.

Exterior

Combining power and elegance, the GTC’s muscular stance, sleek lines, and timeless design make every drive feel special.

Wheels and Tyres

The car is equipped with 20" Bentley Speed multi-spoke wheels finished in 'Dark Tint'. They are in excellent condition and present very well, with the 'Flying B' centre logos standing out nicely. There is also a red space-saving spare wheel included with the car, located in the boot.

The car is fitted with a set of Dunlop SP Winter Sport tyres, with a tread specification of 275/35 all round and date codes from 2015.

Please take a look at the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior of the Bentley and a closer look at the wheels and tyres to make your own assessment of their condition.

Bodywork

This Bentley is a stunning example - the car sits level, with shut lines and panel gaps looking great, and no visible panel distortion was observed. Both doors, the boot, and the bonnet open and close smoothly, in line with the expected quality of this vehicle.

The exterior bodywork is in excellent condition with no major issues to note, having been well cared for and garage-stored.

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

Paint

Finished in black, the paint looks in great overall condition with an even colour and finish across all of the exterior. The coverage showed a deep lustre with a consistent shine across the car, free from any major marks or blemishes.

The images are taken from a few different angles to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there yourself. Please take the time to fully assess these high-resolution images and videos of the car to form your own opinion about the condition of the paint.

Glass and Trim

The glass sections around the Bentley looked brilliant, with the windscreen, side windows, mirrors, and lenses all appearing to be in great condition, with no cracks, chips, or significant scratching observed during our visit.

The lights, both at the front and rear of the car, appeared to be in great condition, consistent with the overall presentation of the vehicle.

We didn't note any issues on the seals and these areas showed to be in-line with the rest of the condition of the car.

The convertible roof was in lovely shape, with the black fabric matching the exterior paint nicely.

Take a look through the exterior gallery and review video. We take you across all areas of the car as if you were standing there yourself. This way, you can see in greater detail how the car is presented.

Interior

The cabin showcases exceptional craftsmanship, with diamond stitched red leather, polished finishes, and meticulous attention to detail - making every journey both comfortable and exhilarating.

Seats and Carpets

The electric, diamond quilted red leather seats are finished with black embroidered 'Flying B' emblems. We noted very few issues with the seats, and these appeared largely unmarked. The same quality reflected in the rear of the car.

Looking over the carpet sections, the mats showed to be in excellent condition and looking underneath these, the main floor sections showed without issue.

Checking over the boot, this section showed in great condition, clean and tidy with no problems.

We've captured high-resolution photos and a full interior video tour through the car. This covers off the angles inside the car for you to review and appreciate the condition of what's on offer here in our interior review section.

Dashboard

The piano black dash across the centre console appears in brilliant shape, complimented well by the double-stitched red leather surround. Black dials with orange needles looked excellent and were all functioning as expected. The odometer showed with ~35,586 miles at the time of our visit.

A great highlight of the cabin area was the Breitling analogue clock, adding a stand out centrepiece.

The dials, switches, and controls all appear to be in lovely overall condition, with surfaces free from fogging or scratching.

We noted no issues with the rev counter, oil temp, fuel gauge, speedometer or digital displays and these were all functioning without concern when starting up the car.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

The Bentley features a 3-spoke, dual-tone, leather-trimmed steering wheel, which looks great on this example. The black and red leather is in excellent condition - in line with the rest of the car.

The alloy automatic drive selector sits stylishly within the piano black centre console, presenting beautifully.

We've captured high-resolution photos for you to review and check over the condition of the interior in our gallery section.

Mechanics

The twin-turbocharged W12 6.0L engine, produces ~600 BHP and a 0-60 in ~4.5 seconds - all while maintaining the composure expected of a true luxury GT.

Engine and Gearbox

Starting the car during our visit showed no issues. The Bentley ran smoothly from start-up, with its engine running nicely, functioning well, and effortlessly handling its tasks out on the journey. We noted no warning lights and had no concerns about its capabilities during our visit.

We took the car out on some local roads with the current owner to get a better feel for what this vehicle is all about. During the drive, we ran through the motions, and got a better overview from the current owners perspective on how the car performs.

Suspension and Brakes

Advanced suspension, responsive steering, and refined handling make the GTC Speed not just fast in a straight line, but composed and engaging on winding roads as well.

On the drive in the Bentley, we heard no knocks or bangs from the suspension, and overall, the car performed as expected with no observed issues.

The brakes felt solid, with no noticeable pull or vibrations during the journey, bringing the car to a stop smoothly and in line with Bentley quality expectations.

We cover the underside of the GTC in our 'Mechanical gallery' section. Head over to our video section where we've summarised our visit in more detail for you to view for yourself. We take you around the mechanical elements of the car and give you an overview of what's on offer here.

The Drive

The Continental GTC Speed uses an all-wheel drive system which features a 60:40 rear-biased torque split, providing stability and grip for high-performance.

Offering a sublime driving experience, the Bentley effortlessly combines raw power with refined composure. With ~600 BHP on tap, the engine delivers instant response, while the precise steering and adaptive suspension make every journey, whether spirited or relaxed, a true pleasure.

Electrics and Other

During our time with the vehicle, we noted that all switches and dials are undamaged and in excellent condition.

This Bentley comes well equipped, featuring a satellite navigation system, air conditioning, reversing camera, electric multi-function seats, and ride height adjustment. The car is finished with its electric convertible roof, which we demonstrate operating smoothly in our mechanical review video.

Abbas confirmed that he has experienced no issues with the electrical systems during his ownership and, to the best of his knowledge, everything is working as it should.

History and Paperwork

With fewer than ~4,000 miles covered in the last ~5 years, the beautifully presented Bentley comes complete with recent specialist serving and a clean MOT until April 2026.

Perfectly suited for both open-top cruising and long-distance touring, the Continental blends immense performance with refined luxury, cementing its place as one of the most desirable grand tourers of its era.

This example comes to market after around a month with Abbas, who has been caring for the car on behalf of his business partner. The partner had owned it for roughly five years but moved abroad around three years ago, leaving the car in storage. With no plans to return, he sold the Bentley to Abbas, who is now thinning down his collection due to limited storage space.

In September 2025, servicing was carried out by Bentley specialist N. Sandall, covering an oil filter change, screen wash top-up, fresh engine oil, a new key battery, engine flush, and a new seal bolt. As the original service book had been misplaced, a replacement was issued at the same time. The total invoice for this work was just over £1,300.

Additional maintenance includes a new battery fitted in July 2025. An intermediate service was carried out by a Bentley specialist in June 2021, while earlier works in February 2017 at Bentley covered the oil filter, dust and pollen filters, and engine oil.

The GTC is offered complete with its driver’s folio, Bentley booklets, and two sets of keys. We showcase the history file in our paperwork gallery, where you can review the servicing records and MOT certificates in more detail.

We’ve done all our usual seller checks including photo ID, V5 and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPI that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check.

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 hi-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.

If there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bid/s, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - just like a traditional auction house.

few questions. I presume the service book is blank anyway as the stamps have not been requested?
Also the service invoice mentions rear of the car dropping, what is the position concerning that? Also didn’t the service garage list advisories or outstanding issues? That is the norm? regards. Andy
