The Bentley Continental GT was the first car released by Volkswagen AG after their acquisition of the company in 1998 and was unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, followed by appearances at Le Mans, the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the annual Bentley Drivers' Club meeting at Silverstone. The car differed significantly from the previous Continental R and T models in terms of its concept; although much of the car is hand-assembled, this Bentley was made in significantly larger numbers than previously. As a result, the price at launch was substantially less than the Continental R, thus exposing the car to a new and much wider market as a more affordable offering. The second-generation Continental GTC was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, followed by the 2012 Qatar International Motor Show. It came equipped with a six-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine and was claimed to produce 603bhp, giving an impressive top speed of 202mph.
If you can’t wait for bleak winter to give way to glorious summer, take a moment to study this superb Continental GTC and let your thoughts turn to grand-touring under Riviera skies, or in the verdant Alps. It is an outstanding example with the highly desirable Mulliner Driving Specification package, which lends a more bespoke quality to the interior though diamond-pattern upholstery and complementary two-tones—used to great effect, in this instance, by combining Linen and Beluga hides. The exterior is finished in the tasteful Hallmark Grey Metallic, and other highlights of its luxurious specification include a leather-covered steering wheel, a sound package, a power-closing boot lid, and heated seats. It has also been fitted with a tracker.
The car has had only four owners from new, the first keeping it until 2020, and has covered under 65,000 miles. It has an exceptional history, having received its annual service from a Bentley authorised dealer every year up to 2023. It thus has twelve main dealer stamps (including pre-delivery inspection), plus a thirteenth service stamp issued by an independent in December, 2025. The Bentley received its P.D.I. at Charles Hurst Ltd. of Belfast, but appears to have been sold immediately to England, as every subsequent service from 2013 to 2019 was conducted by Bentley Cheltenham (or H. R. Owen, which took over the garage in 2016). More recent services were performed at Bentley Birmingham, Bentley Leicester, Bentley Cambridge and Bentley Hertfordshire.
The GTC has an MOT valid until October, 2026, and bidders will note it received one advisory for a worn tyre, which was remedied in December with the fitment of a new Pirelli P Zero. It is therefore fair to say that it is every bit as good as it looks. It is supplied with paperwork including the V5C (confirming the Mulliner Driving Specification), the latest MOT certificate, recent invoices, the well-stamped service book, leather instruction book, a 2023 sales invoice, and two Bentley fobs.
