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 5998cc W12 was allied to six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque on tap plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the 2+2-seater GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph. A deft blend of muscularity and elegance, the two-door coupe'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.
Manufactured in 2006, this example was supplied new via Jack Barclay Bentley, Mayfair, one of the world's oldest Bentley dealers, being delivered to the new owner in October of 2006. Finished in the attractive and subtle colour combination of Metallic Silver Tempest paintwork with Beluga Black leather interior upholstery, the Bentley was fitted from the factory with a host of features as standard, such as keyless entry, a digital sound package, a Bluetooth telephone system with voice control, navigation system, heated seats with lumbar support and 'easy entry'. The Continental GT 'LH56 ABN' displays a low mileage of c.32,306 miles and is offered with the owner’s handbook, MOT history, the Bentley service book and a documented service history with 4 services with Bentley, the rest being independent. The last 2 services were carried out by renowned marque specialist Gordon Dale of Surrey, with an invoice for just over £2,000 in August this year. It will be supplied with a current V5C document and two keys.
