Lot details

Registration No: WS05 ASH
Chassis No: SCBCE63W85C029045
MOT: September 2026

  • Just 44,000 miles from new
  • Finished in Midnight Emerald paintwork with Saddle leather upholstery
  • Offered with documented service history, almost entirely completed by Bentley main agents and specialists
  • Boasting the 20’’ Bentley alloy wheels shod with Pirelli P-Zero tyres all round

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 5,998cc W12 was allied with a six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp and 479lb ft of torque on tap, plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the two-plus-two GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph. A deft blend of muscularity and elegance, the two-door coupé'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.

Beautifully finished in Midnight Emerald with a Saddle leather interior, ‘WS05 ASH’ must rank among one of the best Continental GTs we have ever set eyes upon. A desirably early example dating from 2005, it presents now in an extremely well-preserved state of originality, having covered just over 44,100 miles from new. As a consequence, the vendor deems it to be in “excellent” condition in all areas, and if you examine the photographs you will probably find yourself in agreement.

It has been well cared for and maintained all its life, with the service book revealing that it has received a total of 12 services, of which nine were performed by a Bentley main dealer, two by Bentley specialist Hillier Hill and one by an independent garage. Continental GTs as lovely as this are hard to come by these days, and we refer not just to the condition of this car but also its specification; the colour scheme is exceptionally well-chosen and the lavish burr wood trim elevates the interior to a level of luxury seldom encountered. A truly outstanding example of the model, this Bentley is sold with an MOT with no advisories until September, 2026.
