Introduced at the New York Motor Show in April 2006, the Bentley Continental GT Convertible (or GTC) proved an immediate sales success. Determined to engineer the most torsionally rigid open four-seater that money could buy, the Crewe manufacturer incorporated additional steel tubing within the newcomer's A-posts and windscreen frame, reinforcing its sills and cross-braced the floorplan to a greater degree. The result was a class-leading 16,595ft-lb per degree. A very near match in dynamic terms for its Coupe sibling, the Convertible utilised the same crushingly powerful twin-turbocharged 6-litre W12 engine, Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive system, massive ABS-backed disc brakes and sophisticated all-round independent air suspension. Electro-hydraulically operated, the Bentley's luxuriously padded fabric roof not only stowed away neatly but also provided almost limousine levels of refinement. Reputedly capable of over 190mph when topless, the GTC featured two sturdy steel hoops concealed beneath its rear headrests which could be deployed within fractions of a second if the onboard computer sensed an impending roll. Arguably more of a 2+2-seater than a true four-seater, the model could raise or lower its hood at speeds of up to 20mph (a nice party piece in slow-moving traffic).

First registered on December 1st 2006, ‘MC56 CHO’ was supplied new by Bentley Birmingham in the very attractive colour scheme of Metallic Grey with Red leather upholstery, a matching mohair hood and Black wheels. Having passed through five previous keepers, the owner acquired the Bentley from H&H in 2024 and has cherished it. In the original service book, there are eight main Bentley dealer service stamps up to 13th September 2013 at 10,394 miles, and then a further six stamps with Bentley specialists, with the most recent being with RR&B Garages of Bromsgrove at 34,504 miles in June 2023. The current mileage is now circa 38,000 miles. The vendor informs us that the Bentley is in overall ‘very good’ condition with the paintwork appearing very clean and it is hard to notice any serious imperfections. The interior is also in ‘very good’ order with the leather and carpets appearing very fresh. The vendor decided during his ownership to fit a newer infotainment system with Bluetooth to make it more user friendly, but is supplying the original item with the car. Now offered for sale at an attractive guide price, this presents a fantastic opportunity to own an impressive luxury Bentley for reasonable outlay.
