2010 Bentley Continental Supersports
Only 33,000 miles with full service history
Registration - BX10 JEO
Chassis No. - SCBCK63W4BC067117
M.O.T. - May 2024
Odometer - 33,960
Please note -This lot is being re-offered due to a defaulting purchaser
Now here’s a proper motorcar if ever there was one, as it’s a Supersports model from the original Continental GT range, and therefore the ultimate Bentley of its day. This particular example is resplendent in Pearlescent White that’s matched to suitably luxurious black leather trim, and rides on the correct 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels encased in Mr Pirelli’s ultra-high-performance P Zero tyres. According to Experian Autocheck, ‘BX10 JEO’ has had just four keepers to date, the most recent of whom has retained the car since 2018, so should therefore know it as well as anybody, and presently considers the mighty W12 engine, six-speed ZF Tiptronic automatic transmission, two-door coupe bodywork, paintwork and sumptuous upholstery to all be in ‘excellent’ order. Service history is paramount on a car of this nature, and this one is being sold with a complete record comprising 13 stamps, the last of which was dated as recently as April 25 this year. The odometer currently stands at a relatively modest 33,690 miles, meaning the six-litre engine should be in its absolute prime.
The Continental Supersports made its debut at the 2009 Geneva Salon. It was the first Bentley capable of running on either petrol or biofuel. At the time of production it was also the most powerful and fastest model the company had ever produced, its 621bhp able to rocket the 4,938 lb leviathan to 60mph in around 3.5 seconds and on to a terminal speed north of 200mph. Among the car’s many high-tech attributes are: Torsen four-wheel drive with 40/60 rear-biased torque split; Continuous Damping Control; Bosch ESP with switchable Dynamic Mode; and carbonfibre-reinforced silicon carbide ceramic disc brakes. The cost new in 2010 would have been c.£163,000 before the addition of any options, which makes this extraordinary Bentley superlative value in today’s market.
In summary:
- An immaculately presented example of a much-admired model
- Just 33,690 miles and four keepers from new
- Comes complete with a full service history and long MOT
