The Bentley Arnage is the Last of the Old-World Bentleys, the Final Word in British Hand-Crafted Luxury before the Modern Era Took Hold. A Car Built with No Expense Spared, Designed to Cocoon its Occupants in the Finest Materials Ever Put into a Motor Car. New, the Arnage was an Unapologetic Statement of Wealth, Class, and Power, a Time When Quality Took Precedence Over Cost. The Bank of England Calculate its Original Price to be the Equivalent of Nearly £300,000 in Today's Money. Produced in 1998, the Arnage Marked a Unique Chapter in Bentley's History—a Collaboration Between BMW and Volkswagen at a Pivotal Moment for the Brand. Whilst Purists May Debate its Credentials, the Early Arnage was Fitted with the More Economical and Robust BMW 4.4-Litre V8, a Powerplant That, Unlike Its Predecessors, Brought Greater Reliability and Efficiency Without Compromising Performance. This Engine Represented the Beginning of an Evolution, a Step Towards Refinement That Ensured the Arnage's Longevity, Cementing its Place as One of the Most Usable and Dependable Bentleys of its Time. This was an Age When Bentleys Were Still Handcrafted in Crewe, When Every Piece of Wood, Every Stitch of Leather, and Every Piece of Chrome was Individually Crafted by Artisans. The Attention to Detail, the Timeless Design, and the Understated Presence Remain Undeniably Bentley. Now, Over Two Decades On, this Exceptionally Well-Preserved Example is Available for a New Custodian to Enjoy, Appreciate, and Preserve as These Cars Become Ever More Coveted by Collectors and Enthusiasts Alike.
