(including buyers premium)


Lot details

Registration No: Y917 RDF
Chassis No: SCBLC31E91CH06129
MOT: December 2024

  • c.49,500 miles from new
  • Original owner's wallet with handbooks plus stamped service book
  • Finished in Silver complemented to a Cream leather interior
  • Subject to a head gasket replacement and air conditioner refurbishment in 2017

Introduced at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Bentley Arnage Red Label boasted 835Nm of torque - more than any other production car! Powered by a revised version of the marque's long-serving 6.75-litre V8 (albeit in turbocharged guise), allied to four-speed automatic transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds and 155mph. Further benefiting from a stiffer bodyshell, revised suspension and bigger brakes, the luxury sports saloon retained a tangible link to the Crewe-built Bentleys of the 1950s/60s, the last of 2,282 Red Labels were completed in 2005.

Finished in Silver complemented by a Cream leather interior, ‘Y917 RDF’ has covered just c.49,500 miles from new and is offered with its original owner's wallet with handbooks plus a stamped service book and both remote keys. Previously subject to a full mechanical and bodywork appraisal, the Bentley subsequently received a head gasket replacement and air conditioner refurbishment which took place in 2017. A well-maintained example with the last service taking place just before Christmas 2023 at 49,481 miles, ‘Y917 RDF’ has a current MOT certificate into December 2024 with no advisories and a current V5C document.
