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.
Manufactured in 2005, this example was supplied new via Bentley main agent Broughtons of Cheltenham, being delivered on the 19th of May that year. Finished in the attractive and subtle colour combination of metallic Midnight Emerald paintwork with complementary Tan leather interior upholstery, the Bentley was fitted from the factory with options including the digital sound package, comfort package, sat-nav, massage and heated front power seats, handsfree telephone connectivity, automatic headlamp activation, luggage compartment trimming, voice control, and keyless entry. Passing through three former keepers before being acquired by the vendor in 2018, the current owner united the Bentley with cherished registration number ‘2004 KP’ (which is included in the sale).
The Continental GT has now covered a warranted mileage of 84,400 miles at the time of consignment and is offered with the owner’s handbook, sat-nav discs, recent MOTs and previous MOT history (which illustrates very few advisories over its life), two stamped service books showing fifteen services with many of those completed by Bentley main agents, and a current V5C document. Benefitting from a replacement battery during this year, the Continental GT is offered with two keys and the aforementioned cherished registration number.
