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 was completed in 2005.
Presenting in a very Dark Green, Bentley Black Emerald and displaying 47,000 miles 'V8 BNL' has been in current ownership since 2007 and has had just 3 former keepers. Previously maintained by the likes of Rolls-Royce garages and Bentley Bristol in 2012, the Red Label was the subject of new cylinder head gaskets and a radiator and gearbox cooler, that were all fitted by Rolls-Royce and Bentley with invoices on file for the sum of c.£5,260. 'V8 BNL' last service to date was from Bentley Bristol, in June of 2020, with an invoice total of £2,468.05. A very well-maintained example with rear picnic tables, the Bentley is accompanied by old MOTs and invoices, the original bookpack, handbook and well-stamped service book. The vendor currently grades the Bentley with regards to the engine, gearbox, interior, paintwork and electrics all as 'Very Good'.
