MOT: April 2024
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.
Finished in the handsome combination of Cypress Green Metallic with Pale Green leather upholstery, chassis 021247 was supplied new via Jack Barclay of Nine Elms, London. Purchased from P&A Wood by its last (third) registered keeper in 2012, the renowned marque specialist serviced ‘LJ04 NWZ’ at 39,910, 42,530, 42,623 and 43,019 miles (the last of these maintenance bouts cost £4,828.93 and included the fitment of four new tyres). Sparingly used thereafter, the Bentley was treated to a new battery earlier this year at 43,275 miles and passed its most recent MOT test with ‘no advisories’ on 28th April 2023. Starting readily and running well upon inspection, the Continental GT remains highly presentable (though, the nearside door mirror has discoloured). Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, numerous P&A Wood invoices, MOT certificate valid until 27th April 2024, car cover and Bentley battery conditioner.
