2009 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT SPEED

KEY FACTS

• A smart example of the potent luxury grand tourer, finished in a timeless colour scheme and benefitting from a strong maintenance history.
• Under the bonnet is the mighty twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12, which produces 602bhp and drives all four wheels via a six-speed ZF automatic transmission.
• The V5C shows just three prior keepers.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Building upon the cossetting and already impressive Continental GT, the ‘Speed’ model had a 48bhp power increase, making it the first production Bentley to break the 200mph barrier.
• Additional changes include the car’s uprated shock absorbers, lower and stiffer springs and thicker anti-roll bars; as well as its wider sports exhaust and recalibrated steering system.
• This example was specified in the timeless hue of Black Crystal Metallic over a two-tone Ivory and Black leather interior, accented by piano black trim inserts.
• It rides on the correct set of 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels.
• Factory-fitted equipment includes front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, satellite navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, and heated and electrically adjustable front seats with memory function.
• The car will be accompanied by its original stamped service book.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• The paintwork is thought to be fully original and is in very good overall condition, with stone chips on the front bumper, a blemish below the driver’s-side headlight and small chips on the rear edge of the driver’s door, in line with the car’s age and mileage.
• The exterior trim is also in good order, though the badge on the bonnet is delaminating slightly.
• The cabin presents with some minor creases and wear on the front seats, and discolouration on the steering wheel’s ivory leather inserts, as well as scratches on the automatic gear selector. However, it is still very smart for its age.
• There are no known electrical faults, and the auxiliary battery has recently been replaced for added peace of mind.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 18 November 2020 at 62,219 miles, resulting in a first-time pass with one advisory for wear, pitting or scoring on the nearside front brake disc.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Continental’s most recent routine maintenance was an annual service, which was carried out in September 2020 at 61,561 miles by Bentley specialist Highline Autos, who also replaced the rear brake pads and discs, as well as all four tyres.
• Prior to this, recent services were performed in March 2019 at 57,440 miles and in April 2017 at 54,831 miles.
