Introduced at the New York Motor Show in April 2006, the Bentley Continental GT Convertible (or GTC) proved an immediate sales success. Determined to engineer the most torsionally-rigid open four-seater money could buy, the Crewe manufacturer (a) incorporated additional steel tubing within the newcomer's A-posts and windscreen frame, (b) reinforced its sills and (c) cross-braced the floorplan even more. The result was a class leading 16,595ft-lb per degree. A very near match in dynamic terms for its Coupe sibling, the Convertible utilised the same crushingly powerful twin-turbocharged 6-litre W12 engine, Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive system, massive ABS-backed disc brakes and sophisticated all-round independent air suspension. Electro-hydraulically operated, the Bentley's luxuriously padded fabric roof not only stowed away neatly but also provided almost limousine levels of refinement. Reputedly capable of over 190mph when topless, the GTC featured two sturdy steel hoops concealed beneath its rear headrests which could be deployed within fractions of a second if the onboard computer sensed an impending roll. Arguably more of a 2+2-seater than a true four-seater, the model could raise or lower its hood at speeds of up to 20mph (a nice party piece in slow moving traffic).

Finished in Beluga Black with Magnolia leather upholstery and Piano Black veneers, this notably early example was first road registered on November 2^nd 2006. Entering the current (fourth) ownership three years ago, it is warranted to have covered a mere 47,000 miles from new. Reportedly well maintained, the GTC was entrusted to Bentley Cambridge in February 2024 at 46,026 miles for renewal of its all-important vacuum pipes (an engine out job) plus attention to its suspension arms, front brake discs / pads, TPMS sensors and battery etc with the associated invoice totalling £10,782.

Now presented for sale and described by the vendor as being in 'very good' fettle all round, the W12-powered convertible is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack and two keys.
