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 4.8 seconds 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. Responsible for broadening Bentley's appeal in a way that no predecessor could match, the Continental GT's future classic status is assured.
Finished in an understated and rather debonair combination of Beluga Black with a light and airy Saffron hide interior, this Continental GT combines modern style with traditional luxury, and the desirable 19in Mulliner split-rim alloy wheels set it off with a sporting flourish. Originally sold through Bentley Hadley Green in Hertfordshire, it has had just four owners and covered only 47,000 miles from new, and at all times appears to have been meticulously looked-after.
The Bentley’s excellent service history reveals 16 services across 20 years, of which 14 were completed by a Bentley main dealer and two by a marque specialist, and we note that its September, 2021, service included the installation of new batteries and in September, 2024, it received new rear brake discs and pads. While this Continental appears as a pleasingly standard and original example, it has had a useful upgrade to its information system, which includes the addition of a reversing camera. The V5C, service book and various invoices are all present, and the vendor describes the car as “excellent” in all mechanical and cosmetic respects. With an impressive MOT record and a current MOT until June, 2026, this stands out as a superb and tastefully-specified example of what may be the best all-round GT car of this century.
