Introduced at the New York Motor Show in April 2006, the Bentley Continental GT Convertible (or GTC) proved an immediate sales success. 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, reinforcing its sills and cross-braced the floorplan to a greater degree. The result was a class-leading 16,595ft-lb per degree. A very near match in dynamic terms for its Coupe sibling, 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. Reputedly capable of over 190mph when topless, the GTC featured two sturdy steel hoops concealed beneath its rear headrests which could be deployed within fractions of a second if the onboard computer sensed an impending roll. Arguably more of a 2+2-seater than a true four-seater, the model could raise or lower its hood at speeds of up to 20mph (a nice party piece in slow-moving traffic).

First registered on January 1st 2007, ‘YJ56 DRX’ is finished in the very attractive colour scheme of Light Blue Metallic with Cream leather upholstery and Dark Blue mohair hood. Displaying c.47,400 miles and having had 5 former keepers, the Bentley has been subject to the fitment of a replacement suspension compressor and suspension strut, as well as the A/C regassed in 2021 totalling some £2,200. Subject to an oil and filter change in January of this year the Bentley is offered with owner’s handbook and service book, collection of invoices, V5C document and a current MOT certificate until 29th October 2024.
