The Bentley Continental GT was the first car released by Volkswagen AG after their acquisition of the company in 1998 and was unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, followed by Le Mans, Goodwood Festival of Speed and the annual Bentley Drivers Club meeting at Silverstone. The car differed significantly from the previous Continental R and T models in terms of its concept; although much of the car is hand-assembled, this Bentley was made in significantly larger numbers than previously. As a result, the price at launch was substantially less than the Continental R, thus exposing the car to a much wider and new customer base as a more affordable car. A Continental GTC is equipped with a 6.0 litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine and produces 603bhp with an impressive top speed of 202mph. Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive is standard.

This is a stunning example, presented in Beluga with Beluga hide and piano black trim. This all black colour combination is quite rare to see on these cars and it suits it very nicely. The paintwork gleams following some machine polishing recently and the black leather interior is in excellent condition. The car was given an interim service in August 2024, adding to its comprehensive service history and judging by the overall condition of the car and its low mileage, it has clearly lived a rather cossetted life. Supplied to auction with a V5C registration document, build sheets, various invoices and service history and an MoT test certificate valid until August 2025. These cars provide such incredible value for money and this example is certainly one of the nicer ones we have seen. Consigned by Fraser Smith
