The Bentley Arnage was launched in 1998, a large luxury saloon car that replaced the previous Bentley Turbo saloon. Built by Bentley Motors in Crewe from 1998 to 2009, the Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph, were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980, when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models were introduced. In 2001, the Arnage RL, a long-wheelbase model, was launched. Available only as a bespoke ('Mulliner') model, each RL was customised to the desires of the buyer. The extra length was added to the car at its rear doors and its C-pillar. With the standard Arnage model, the rear wheel wells butt up against the rear door frames, but with the RL they are a few inches further back. The RL was also the first of a new series which would finally cure the Bentley Arnage of the reliability and performance deficiencies experienced following its forced deprivation of the modern BMW engines it was designed to use, with the introduction of an entirely reworked version of the 6.75-litre, V8 engine.

We are very pleased to offer this rare, low-mileage and tastefully-specified Arnage RL. The original combination of Cypress Green metallic paint, Parchment hide and burr oak upholstery is, to our eyes, a timelessly elegant combination suggestive of old-fashioned British luxury, although under the skin the Arnage was cutting-edge for its day. It was originally sold through Ribble Valley Motor Cars of Blackburn, with additional equipment including the 12-spoke, 19in alloy wheels and the famous ‘Flying B’ mascot. As one of the first Arnages built for the 2008 model year, it represents one of the most desirable variations of the model, with attractive facelifted styling, the “roller rocker” engine, a six-speed automatic gearbox and improved instrumentation.

The full specification would make for very lengthy reading, but highlights include a rear Champagne cooler for two bottles, integrated front and rear telephones, a pair of umbrellas, reclining heated seats, power folding mirrors, individual rear air-conditioning, built-in satellite navigation, a CD autochanger, an electronically-adjustable steering column, a hands-free system and a reversing camera.

A car so beautifully finished was made to be cherished, and indeed it has always been well-maintained, with services being completed almost every year since 2010 (when it had covered 20,593 miles). Nine were performed by authorised Bentley dealers and three were undertaken by marque specialists, while a thirteenth was entrusted to a BMW dealer. Now with just over 44,000 miles behind it, its latest service was completed earlier this year by well-known specialist Flying B. Recent maintenance has included new front and rear brake discs and pads, plus sensors and an auxiliary belt, being purchased from BCI in 2021 for £1,600, and the re-Connolising of the interior earlier this year by Leathercare, which cost £1,000. The Bentley is offered for sale with its V5C, the original book pack including the owner’s manual and service book, assorted invoices and MOT certificates, plus an MOT valid until February, 2026.
