Introduced at the New York Motor Show in April 2006, the Bentley Continental GT Convertible (or GTC) proved an immediate sales success. A very near match in dynamic terms for its Coupe sibling with similar 190mph performance, 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. Since time immemorial, car manufacturers have struggled with slicing the top off their Saloons and subsequently retaining rigidity. Bentley naturally encountered the same problem. Scuttle shake is not, however, what Bentley buyers pay for, so 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, reinforced its sills and cross-braced the floorpan to a greater degree. The result was a class-leading 16,595lb/ft per degree, which was not far off the car's tin-topped sibling's figure.

Electro-hydraulically operated, the Bentley's luxuriously padded fabric roof not only stowed away neatly but provided almost Limousine levels of refinement. Reputedly capable of over 190mph with the top down, the GTC featured two sturdy steel hoops concealed beneath its rear headrests, which could be deployed if an impending roll was sensed. Arguably more of a 2+2 than a true four-seater, the Bentley could raise or lower its hood at speeds of up to 20mph, always a bonus in capricious British weather conditions. Specified in Beluga Black with Beluga hide upholstery and Piano Black Wood veneer, the Mulliner pack also included drilled alloy sport foot-pedals; a gear lever finished in knurled chrome and hide; diamond quilted hide to seat facings, doors and rear quarter panels; embroidered Bentley emblem to seat facings and 20-inch two-piece alloy sports wheels (GTC only). First registered on the 24th April 2009 and supplied by Sevenoaks Bentley, it has been serviced by a main dealer and with specialists, totalling 11 stamps. Having covered just over 2,500 miles per annum, 'GN09 GYC' was recently serviced at Bentley Hampshire at 40,187miles (24th April 2025) at a cost of £1,100. Said to ‘drive as well as it looks’, the W12-powered convertible is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack and two keys.
