Bentley Continental 2005 (05) - 2-Door

This lot will be auctioned via Historics Classic and Sportscar Auctioneers at The Pace of Autumn; Ascot Racecourse sale on Saturday 20th September. The Bentley Continental GT was the first car released by Volkswagen AG after their acquisition of the company in 1998 and was unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, followed by Le Mans, Goodwood Festival of Speed and the annual Bentley Drivers Club meeting at Silverstone. The price at launch was substantially less than the Continental R, thus exposing the car to a much wider and new customer base as a more affordable car. The Continental GT is equipped with a six litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine and produces 552bhp at 6,100rpm, and is capable of travelling from 0-62mph in an impressive 4.8 seconds. Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive is standard.First registered on 7th April 2005, this Bentley Continental GT is presented in a rare Chestnut metallic with cream over Chestnut leather. Privately owned and comprehensively serviced, this four seat coupe example would have cost in excess of £120,000 new. Our vendor states there are no warning lights on the dashboard and it is ready to be enjoyed. Supplied with MoT test certificate until January 2026 with no advisories, book pack and history within the history file, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a pure continental cruiser as happy at the golf club as it is on the autobahn.
