2014 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT V8 S

This Bentley Continental GT V8 S is a superb example of the high-performance grand tourer, presented with a crisp white finish and low mileage. Under the bonnet sits a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine producing 521bhp, 21bhp more than the standard V8, coupled with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift. The odometer currently indicates only 15,700 miles from new.

First registered in October 2014, this Bentley Continental has been with its current keeper for the last six years, who has kept it garaged whenever not in use. There is only one previous keeper on the log book before them. The new list price for the car was £123,583.33.

The bodywork of this Continental GT V8 S is in generally superb order. Along the offside, there is a very small dent as well as a deep scratch towards the bottom of the driver’s door, and on the panel just ahead of it, caused by a high kerb. The damage in no way affects the operation of the door, so it is a purely a cosmetic issue that the next owner could seek to rectify.

Its white paintwork is accented by a gloss black splitter and diffuser, as well as chrome rings around the rear lights and chrome sill trim strips. It sits 10mm lower than the standard car, also boasting revised dampers and increased spring rates. It rides on a set of 20-inch alloy wheels, which remain pristine on all four corners.

The exterior features include dark tint front and rear lamps, electrically operated power-folding door mirrors with heating and memory settings, a painted radiator shell with the gloss matrix style grille, quad exhaust finishers, Beluga gloss lower body styling, and the ‘Jewel’ fuel filler cap. It is also specified with the acoustic windscreen and acoustic side glazing. The car features the 'Continental GT V8 S - Launch Specification 1' package, at an additional cost of nearly £5,000.

Moving inside, this Bentley features a two-tone black and red leather interior, which is in excellent condition. The seats are electrically adjustable, heated and cooled, and also feature memory and massage functions; presenting with minimal wear, even to the outer bolsters. The car is equipped with satellite navigation, climate control, cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors, all of which are reported to work as they should. The dashboard controls and contact points on the steering wheel all present in good order, along with the instrument clusters, carpets and leather-clad door cards.

Its extensive interior specification includes high-gloss Piano Black veneer inlays, a leather headlining, fluted hide on the seat panels, and contrasting stitching through the secondary hide, dashboard and steering wheel – including for the embroidered ‘winged B’ emblems on the headrests. There is also a rear-view camera, a knurled metal ‘sports’ gear lever and deep-pile floor mats.

The last service was undertaken in November 2020 at 15,514 miles, where technicians at Jack Barclay Bentley in carried out the sixth-year annual service – including changing the filters and oils, wiper blades, spark plugs, and remote battery – and also refurbished all four wheels, carried out an air-conditioning service, and replaced a faulty horn. Prior to this, Bentley main dealers carried out routine servicing on a regular basis from new – as summarised below.

The most recent MOT test was on 13 November 2020 at 15,518 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or defects. The wheels come wrapped with Pirelli P Zero tyres in correct fitment 275/40/R20 all round, which the vendor reports have around 7-8mm of tread remaining.

Accompanying the vehicle are the original handbook and service book, as well as a spare wheel and tools.

This Bentley Continental GT V8 S is a luxurious sporting grand tourer, boasting notably enhanced performance and sharper dynamics over the standard model, and is presented in superb condition. Whether used solely as an ‘event’ car for special occasions, or pressed into service as a more regular and opulent daily driver, this Bentley is sure to delight and cosset its next owner and their passengers, whenever they choose to drive it.
