*Cypress Mica Green Continental GT
*Full service history
*Rare Mulliner interior
The Bentley Continental GT launched in 2003 as one of the most impressive Bentleys ever produced – and received widespread critical acclaim. Powered by a then all-new 6.0 Twin-Turbo W12 engine, the car produced a mighty 560bhp and 479lbft of torque that propelled the 2.5 ton car to 60mph in 4.8 seconds. The car was also the first car to be developed under the company's new Volkswagen Group ownership, and marked a new era for the marque. Not only that, but the car was also the first luxury car to be produced by Bentley for the mass market. Today, Continental GT's represent excellent value and still look just as good today as they did when they were first launched in 2003. This 2005 example, originally supplied new to Bentley Knutsford of Manchester, presented in Cypress Mica Green metallic with a rare Mulliner beige leather interior. The bodywork presents very well, the interior nicely patinated and the car comes with a full service history. Much works have been carried out in recent years including a £5,500 service to replace the brakes and suspension in 2018; also a new rear air spring last year. Serviced in March 2021 the W12 engine runs very smoothly and performs well as it should. Overall this is a nicely presented example from enthusiast ownership and offers great potential as a usable future classic.
