Lot details

Registration No: FJ59 AGO

MOT: March 2024

  • Just 44,500 miles from new
  • Desirable Speed model with significant power increase
  • Only three former keepers
  • Twelve services, all completed by main dealers and specialists

Launched in 2007 at Laguna Village Polo and the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Continental GT Speed, available on the two-door coupe platform only, featured an increase in power over the standard W12 being rated at 602bhp with 553 lb-ft of torque. 35kg was shaved off the weight over the normal GT, whilst its lower ride height and revised spring / damper and anti-roll bar settings improved handling. The 0-60mph sprint now took 4.3sec instead of the 4.6sec needed in the regular GT, and the top speed rose to 202mph. This electrifying performance was delivered to the road via 20” alloys with bespoke Pirelli P-Zero tyres. Further developments included the speed-sensitive Servotronic system being returned, a solid-mounted front subframe and stiffer rear bushings added, and a 'Dynamic' mode for the Bosch 8.1 ESP system introduced. The front grille and lower air intakes were housed in a dark-tinted chrome matrix whilst wider rifled sports exhaust tail pipes adorned the rear.

This Speed model example was manufactured in 2009, being registered new on the 13th of October. Fitted from the factory with 'satnav', rear view camera, parking sensors front and rear, climate control, heated electric seats, folding mirrors, adaptive cruise control, power boot lid, 20-inch alloy wheels, and soft close doors, and is presented in the stylish colour combination of Tempest Silver paintwork with Piano Black leather interior upholstery. ‘FJ59 AGO’ has covered just 44,500 miles from new and with a mere three former keepers. Supplied with two sets of keys and a history file that includes the book pack, with the Bentley having received twelve services over its life, with all of these completed by main dealers and specialists and the most recent completed at 41,102 miles. Possessing a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2024, the Bentley is an elegant and effortlessly capable grand tourer, boasting a remarkable turn of speed, and was summarised as “a great car made better” by CAR magazine.
