This handsome 2008 Bentley Continental GT is a fine example of the Crewe firm’s 6.0-litre W12-powered continent-crusher. The metallic grey paintwork is complemented by a rich tan leather interior with lashings of real wood veneer. Registered in March 2008, this near-200mph express has an odometer reading just 67,500 miles. It has had just three owners from new, reports the vendor, and they say it has been “very well looked after”. The engine, transmission and electrics are all described as being in ‘excellent’ condition. ‘MX08FSF’ comes with two new batteries and two new tyres, and there is 24-hour video recording front and rear.
‘MX08FSF’ has a full service history. The service book contains an impressive amount of stamps. The pre-delivery inspection was carried out by Bentley Manchester in February 2008, and there are a further eight stamps from Bentley Manchester, right up to 2015. It was looked after by Bentley specialists after that, with notable names including Prestige Services of Leeds.
The Bentley Continental GT was the car that turned the firm into the global luxury powerhouse it is today. Introduced in 2003, it was a modern four-seat GT car that significantly expanded the appeal of the brand – with sales immediately reflecting this. Gradual evolution over the years means the timeless styling still cuts a dash today – and the four-wheel drive Bentley remains thrilling to drive, with over 550hp from its turbocharged W12 engine giving 0-62mph performance in under 5.0 seconds. Bentley insiders say engineers also saw a top speed of more than 200mph during development…
In Summary:
- 2008 Bentley Continental GT
- Just 67,500 miles
