‘There is much to love about the Bentley Flying Spur: it creates a sense of occasion like few other cars at any price, and offers an endearing blend of performance, potential top speed and braking power. The interior sets it apart from the more mainstream rivals, and there can be no denying that it fulfills its remit as a big, lavish limo. It’s even fun to drive, in a brutish kind of way’ (Autocar magazine).
Introduced in 2005 to complement Bentley’s existing two-door Continental GT model, the four-door Flying Spur used a stretched version of its sibling’s platform. Powered by the same twin-turbocharged 6.0 litre W12 engine allied to six-speed automatic transmission, the luxury sports saloon boasted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque; outputs sufficient for 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds and 194mph. Equipped with Adaptive Air Suspension, Continuous Damping Control and Tosen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the big Bentley proved surprisingly nimble.
Finished in Moonbeam Silver metallic with Beluga Black leather upholstery, chassis AC065064 was supplied new to Bentley Manchester for use as a demonstrator. Intended to impress potential buyers, its lavish specification included contrasting Linen-coloured seat piping, Piano Black fascia trims, iPod interface, reversing camera, power boot opening and closing, enhanced vehicle tracker system and 20-inch 14-spoke diamond alloy wheels all of which added up to a retail price of £112,420.35. The subject of five services (four main dealer and one specialist), the Continental Flying Spur is warranted to have covered just 15,300 miles from new. Beautifully presented inside and out, the four-seater pleasingly retains its original book pack, running-in instructions card and two keys. Starting readily upon inspection and running well during our recent photography session, the Bentley is described by the vendor as ‘stunning and virtually as new’. After eleven years and so few miles, this imposing Continental Flying Spur promises to be a delight for driver and passengers alike.
