Premium Classified Sale

Introduction

Jacob Boodrie
Professional Consigner

A true luxury grand tourer, combining effortless performance with exceptional refinement, all powered by Bentley’s magnificent 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12 engine.

Introduced in 2003, the Bentley Continental GT marked the beginning of a new era for the marque under Volkswagen Group ownership. Built at Bentley’s Crewe factory in Cheshire, it successfully combined traditional British craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques, creating one of the brand’s most accomplished grand tourers.

The Mulliner Driving Specification was introduced in 2005, offering an even higher level of luxury and sporting appeal. Enhancements included 20-inch split-rim seven-spoke alloy wheels, drilled alloy pedals and footrest, a chrome-finished gear lever, diamond-quilted leather to the doors and rear quarter panels, embroidered Bentley seat emblems, and an extensive choice of two-tone leather and veneer combinations, including dark-stained burr walnut.

This Continental comes to market following ~5 years of ownership and has had just 4 former keepers. Finished in the highly desirable Mulliner Driving Specification, it has covered a modest ~28,800 miles from new.

Presented in attractive Cypress Green over a contrasting Portland leather interior, it is accompanied by Bentley service history - it's clear to see this is a cut-above the the average Continentals that are on sale right now.

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

Exterior

Finished in Cypress, this Continental has a commanding yet understated presence, perfectly complementing its sophisticated character.

Wheels and Tyres

This example is fitted with optional 20" GT Speed alloy wheels, which appear to be in great condition overall. Some scratches on the N/S/F were attented to in 2021, being picky on our visit we did notice a scratch on the n/s/r wheel near the central hub cap.

The wheels are fitted with Pirelli Pzero's dated 2017/2018 they appear to be in good visual condition, with a good amount of tread remaining and no visible cracking on the outside walls.

Please take time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels, and tyres so you can make your own assessment of their condition. Tyres are a key safety item, and you should consider replacing any that are cracked, perished, unevenly worn, or over 10 years old.

Bodywork

The bodywork appears to be in great overall condition, with panel gaps aligning visually well around the car.

As to be expected, there are some minor age-related marks including a small scratch to the offside wing mirror, a small dent on the rear offside wing, and a very small chip on the nearside door near the wing mirror.

We've provided more detailed observations through our high-resolution images and videos. 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 a lovely Cypress Green, the paintwork presents in great condition with even colour and coverage across all panels.

Once again, we've captured high-resolution images and videos of the car for you to assess the condition of the paintwork for yourselves.

Glass and Trim

The glass is in great condition for the car’s age - during our visit we didn’t notice any obvious cracks or discolouration.

The window seals appear good and consistent with the overall condition of the car.

The door handles and window surrounds also present well.

Interior

The handcrafted interior is every bit as impressive as the exterior, blending exquisite materials with outstanding comfort and craftsmanship.

Seats and Carpets

The Portland Mulliner diamond stitched leather seats, have retained their shape well over the years, with only very light creasing. The Dashboard features burl walnut with Beluga secondary hide. The car was also optioned with deep pile over mats front and rear.

The door cards and carpets present in a similar manner, showing consistent condition throughout the interior.

For a detailed view of the cabin, please take a look at the extensive media.

Dashboard

The dashboard in this Bentley shows no major damage or scuffs during our visit.

The odometer displayed ~28,778 miles at the time of consignment.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

The 4-spoke Bentley leather steering wheel was in great condition.

The gear selector also looked in good shape too, both consistent with the condition of the car.

For a closer look, check out the image gallery to see the detail.

Mechanics

Beneath the bonnet lies Bentley’s formidable twin-turbocharged 6.0L W12, delivering effortless power, immense refinement, and exceptional high-speed capability.

Engine and Gearbox

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

On the day of our visit, we started the car from cold, and it performed well on the road - the engine pulled nicely, idled smoothly, and ran well.

Nigel reports that the car starts from cold with no issues and drives well with its smooth automatic gearbox sending the power to all the wheels. Take a look at the mechanical video to see the car starting from cold, driving around, and for a closer look underneath the Continental GT.

Suspension and Brakes

On the drive out, Nigel took us around some local roads. We heard no obvious knocks, bangs, or squeaks from the suspension, and overall, the car performed as expected with no observed issues.

We cover the underside of the Bentley 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.

The Drive

Nigel enjoys driving this Continental GT, praising its effortless power and exceptional comfort.

Take a look at the ‘On the Road’ video, where Nigel takes us for a short drive.

It really does strike a sweet spot, being practical enough for everyday use while offering effortless Bentley performance whenever you want it.

Electrics and Other

Nigel reports that everything is functional and operational, aligning with the overall condition of the car.
