The Bentley Continental GT was the first car released by Volkswagen AG after their acquisition of the company in 1998 and was unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, followed by Le Mans, Goodwood Festival of Speed and the annual Bentley Drivers Club meeting at Silverstone. The car differed significantly from the previous Continental R and T models in terms of its concept; although much of the car is hand-assembled, this Bentley was made in significantly larger numbers than previously. As a result, the price at launch was substantially less than the Continental R, thus exposing the car to a much wider and new customer base as a more affordable car. The second generation continental GTC was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, followed by the 2012 Qatar International Motor Show. A Continental GTC is equipped with a 6.0 litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine and produces 603bhp with an impressive top speed of 202mph.

Supplied new by Bentley Kent from order number 300154, chassis number ‘076501’ was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 1st of March 2012. A rare Breeze Brunell Special Edition, the GTC also received the Driving Specification and Convenience Specification options when new, with these three costed options adding some £10,000 to the price alone, with the total price surpassing £141,000 new. Presented in the stunning colours of Breeze paintwork with Blue roof, with complementary interior upholstery of Breeze main hide with Brunel secondary hide, carpets, emblem stitching and steering column cowl, Tamo Ash wood veneers complete the interior presentation. Further provided with cost options of chromed matrix-style grille, deep pile overmats, first aid kit and warning triangle, massage seats and seat ventilation, neck warmer, and space-saving spare wheel, the GTC is offered now having covered just 47,000 miles from new.

Entered from a private collection, the Bentley has benefitted from a new battery at the end of last year, an air conditioning service last year, and a full set of tyres some 4,000 miles ago. Most recently serviced at 42,412 miles by Bentley Cambridge, the GTC is accompanied by a history file that contains the original owner’s handbook, satnav DVD, and well-stamped service book which displays eleven stamps. Additionally included in the paperwork file are previous MOTs and a no advisory MOT until January, a collection of invoices, the full specification sheet, and a current V5C document. Only making way due to the planned arrival of a new example, this scarce limited edition variant that comes with a very striking colour combination, this GTC is not one to be overlooked.
