‘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 fulfils 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 grand tourer 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 Silver with Cream leather seats this 2005 example has covered some 67,000 miles and is offered with a current ‘no advisory’ MOT to 30 March 2024. The vendor informs us it features the four-seat configuration with split rear seat. Accompanied by a good history file with spare key it is described as having “excellent” bodywork, paintwork, engine, automatic transmission and interior and is said to have no known faults. A huge amount of car for the asking price today, these used Bentleys offer luxury and performance motoring at a level few other manufacturer’s can rival.
