2005 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL 6.0 W12 FLYING SPUR

This is an early, first-generation example of Bentley's revived Flying Spur, finished in Moonbeam Metallic silver. It's powered by the supreme 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine with all-wheel drive, making it the world's fastest and most powerful production saloon in 2005, and the odometer is showing a mere 28,500 miles – a figure which is supported by the excellent history file. The opulent interior boasts a uncompromising list of equipment including soft-close doors, walnut veneer, and heated & cooled leather seats with massage function for all 4 occupants.

The car survives in superb overall condition and the vendor reports that it "drives beautifully". MoT inspections have been performed annually, with no advisories since 2017, and the current certificate is valid to 2nd March 2027. The history file contains a comprehensive collection of MoT certificates, maintenance paperwork and previous sales invoices coverall all the car's life, going back to 2008. Original handbooks and satnav CDs are present, and the service book contains 6 stamps from main dealers up to 22,480 miles (date unrecorded). The latest invoice indicates another service (plus front brake pads) in March this year at 28,242 miles.

The vendor reports that the car has spent most of his life with the late husband of its current registered keeper, who bought it from PA Wood in 2007 (invoice included). After his passing, it was registered to his wife, who kept it garaged, and the vendor has looked after it in dry storage for the last year or so. The V5C still shows 2 former keepers.
