Introduced at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Bentley Arnage Red Label boasted 835Nm of torque - more than any other production car! Powered by a revised version of the marque's long-serving 6.75-litre V8 (albeit in turbocharged guise), allied to four-speed automatic transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds and 155mph. Further benefiting from a stiffer bodyshell, revised suspension and bigger brakes, the luxury sports saloon retained a tangible link to the Crewe-built Bentleys of the 1950s/60s, the last of 2,282 Red Labels was completed in 2005.

‘Y958 CJG’ was delivered to its first owner by Bentley Main Dealer Jack Barclay of Berkeley Square, London on the 1st of March 2001. Finished in a bright Silver, with a Magnolia Connolly hide interior piped in dark grey, this Arnage Red Label was ordered with the rare factory sunroof and special order walnut veneer panels to all doors. The Service Record Book details servicing by Bentley Main dealers Jack Barclay from new, followed by Harwoods of London, Jack Barclay again, Broughtons of Cheltenham and Bentley Birmingham, before Bentley Specialist Bowling-Ryan took over in 2016. After being acquired by the current vendor in 2018, ‘Y958 CJG’ was serviced by Roade Main Garage. The service invoices in the History File show that ‘Y958 CJG’ had the dreaded head gaskets replaced in 2015 as these were a known and expensive weak spot in the engine design for these cars. This Red Label is offered with two sets of keys, the complete owners pack, containing the aforementioned Service Record Book, the Owner’s Handbook and the Service Handbook, a current V5C and a comprehensive History File containing old MOTs and a sheaf of invoices detailing work done to the car. Presenting very nicely, according to the vendor, and driving well during the photoshoot with no warning lights showing, this Red Label offers a lot of car for the outlay.
