*Fitted with Red Label 18-inch alloy wheels and badges
*Good service history to 2016
*An affordable way into later Bentley ownership

The Arnage took over the mantle from the Silver Spirit-derived Bentley range and its design, especially from the rear and the side, owed a lot to the S1-3. Described as having very good bodywork, good metallic grey paint and good trim, the appearance is boosted by a set of 18-inch Red Label wheels and appropriate badging. The blue interior, including seats, headlining and trim, is reported to be good but the steering wheel shows light wear. The engine is ranked as very good for starting and running, the underbonnet presentation as good and the running gear generally as very good.

Coming with main dealer and specialist service history to 2016 this Arnage Green Label should interest those looking for their first foray into Bentley ownership.
