Thoroughly revamped for 2002, the Bentley Arnage Series Two gained a stiffened bodyshell, revised suspension, new electronics and a thoroughly reworked version of the Crewe concern’s indomitable 6.75-litre OHV V8. Force-fed by twin Garratt T3 turbochargers (in place of the previous single T4), the engine also boasted an improved cylinder head gasket design and Bosch Motronic management system. Developing some 405PS and 835Nm when fitted to the new ‘R’ model, it was allied to four-speed automatic transmission and reputedly enabled the luxurious sports saloon to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.0 seconds and onto 155mph. The Series Two cars further benefited from more comfortable seats and remained an object lesson in luxury especially if ordered in ‘Mulliner Level II’ specification. Facelifted for the 2005-model year, the Bentley sported more prominent ‘quad’ headlamps. In production from 2002 – 2009, just 373 Arnage Rs were built in right-hand drive.

Finished in the delectable combination of Silver Storm metallic with Cotswold leather upholstery and a contrasting Caramel dashtop, steering wheel, carpets and seat piping, chassis SCBLC37F46CH11326 was built to right-hand drive specification. Supplied new by main dealer Malayan Motors of Singapore, the same company carried out its pre-delivery inspection at 26km and serviced it at 1,689, 11,103, 19,621 and 24,166km. Reputedly repatriated by Jack Barclay Ltd in 2016 due to its low mileage and condition, the famous London dealer serviced it at 32,414km. Acquired by its last registered keeper, a resident of Notting Hill, during 2018, the Arnage R’s most recent bout of maintenance was entrusted to Bentley Manchester on February 20th 2025 at 46,782km (circa 29,200 miles). As such, ‘LG06 UHU’ has the distinction of having only ever been main dealer serviced. A rare and handsome motorcar with a deceptive turn of speed, this luxurious sports saloon will be driven some 140 miles to IWM Duxford. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and original book pack.
