Introduced at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT was the most technologically advanced Bentley in generations. Powered by the marque's first all-new engine since 1959, its twin-turbocharged 5,998cc W12 was allied with a six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp and 479lb. ft. of torque on tap, plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the two-plus-two GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8secs. and 198mph. A deft blend of muscularity and elegance, the two-door coupé's lines were the work of Dirk Van Braekel. Equipped with sophisticated independent suspension and ventilated ABS disc brakes all-round, the Continental GT proved an accomplished transcontinental express. Unveiled for the 2005 model-year, the Mulliner Driving Specification boasted 20in. seven-spoke alloy wheels, drilled alloy pedals and diamond quilted upholstery, door cards, etc.

A very fine example of the breed, this Continental GT appears to have been very well cared for throughout its life. Attractively finished in Silver Tempest Metallic with an Ivory leather interior, it even boasts the Mulliner Driving Specification package with its higher level of trim, additional styling cues and more sumptuous interior. It has covered only 74,000 miles from new, as testified by the sixteen stamped entries in the service book, and has occasionally undergone some more involved maintenance, as when the engine was removed in order to renew a vacuum valve. Moreover, it has recently benefitted from the full refurbishment of its 20in., seven-spoke, two-piece alloy wheels, which were a special feature of the Mulliner package. They have been shod with new Pirelli tyres. The Bentley has a strong MOT record and the current MOT, issued with no advisories, remains valid until July, 2026. Supplied with service history and some invoices, it appears in lovely order throughout and we cannot help but agree with the vendor when he describes the bodywork, paint, engine, transmission and electrics as “excellent,” and the interior as “very good.”
