KEY FACTS

• Beautifully presented with a desirable factory specification and smart Carbon Exterior Pack, this is an excellent example of Bentley’s potent grand tourer.
• Under the bonnet is the 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine, producing 616bhp and 590lb-ft of torque, driving all four wheels via an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.

• This example has been with its current owner for the last seven years.
• A fastidiously maintained car, it has received regular servicing at Bentley main dealers.
