  • Just c.26,000 miles and two owners from new
  • First registered as 'HU 2' and rumoured to have been supplied new to the film star Hugh Grant
  • Offered with the original handbook and stamped service book and invoices
  • Maintained with Bentley up to 2019 and marque specialists thereafter

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 5998cc W12 was allied to six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque on tap plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the 2+2-seater GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph. A deft blend of muscularity and elegance, the two-door coupe'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.

According to its accompanying HPi report, chassis 049080 was first registered as ‘HU 2’ on May 16th 2007. Entering the current (only second) ownership via JCT600 Bentley of Leeds, the vendor informs us he was told at the time that his predecessor had been none other than the film star Hugh Grant. However, there is no accompanying paperwork to substantiate this claim. Finished in Breeze Metallic with Magnolia leather upholstery and Birds Eye Maple veneers, the Continental GT has covered just 26,000 miles from new. Reportedly main dealer serviced up until 2019 and looked after by marque specialists since then, the 2+2-seater remains notably smart. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and large history file.
