1986 Bentley Eight
***NO RESERVE***

Registration – C567 GVM

Chassis No. – SCB258000GCH15133

M.O.T. – March 2026

Odometer – 83,000

This 1986 Bentley Eight, offered at No Reserve, is genuinely “one of a kind”. The exquisite two-tone metallic paint features Oyster Silver over Sky Blue. It presents very well indeed, enhanced by the flying ‘B’ and wire mesh grille that was exclusive to the Bentley Eight. Inside, it has bespoke walnut dashboard and door cappings, complemented by blue leather upholstery. There is an impressive array of 1980s electronic gadgetry and it even has an integrated car phone!

‘C567GVM’ has a full history and the vendor reports it has been maintained to a very high standard – and been “very loved”. It has had just three previous keepers. The odometer reads just 83,000 miles. It’s been recently serviced and is all ready for the new owner to enjoy. It is even MOT’d until February 2026. “This is a must buy for the Bentley enthusiast… an opportunity to own a moment of history.”

The Bentley Eight was introduced in 1984 as a more accessible entry point for the marque – although this was still relative. It was an immediate hit, and sales soon expanded from just the UK into Europe and the US. The Eight was always marked out by its wire mesh grille, and also had firmer suspension. Naturally, it was equipped with the classic 6.75-litre V8 engine, paired with a silky-smooth automatic transmission.

In summary:

· “One of a kind” 1986 Bentley Eight

· Full history and maintained to a very high standard

· “A must buy for a Bentley enthusiast”
