Description

As a car enthusiast, owning a Bentley has always been a dream of mine. It took me several years to find this car, and it's important to state firstly that this isn't your normal "cheap Bentley". This is a cherished, well kept and properly looked after example which is nice enough to be used as often as you wish, but not so low-mileage that doing so would be a shame. Adorned in stunning Barnato Green over Portland hide and finished with chrome 19" wheels, this gentlemanly colourway is more becoming of the Duke of Beaufort than David Beckham. The provenance of the car fits this narrative perfectly, having benefitted from no less than 17 services, including circa 12,000 pounds worth of preventative maintenance in 2019 to tend to the common issues these have. The last service was carried out by Alexanders Prestige under my ownership in October, along with a fresh MOT. At the time, I also replaced the parking brake motor as it was faulty and causing a warning light on the dashboard. The engine is powerful and very strong, the gearbox shifts smoothly, and the brakes are in excellent condition and will not need replacing any time soon. Suspension wise, the air suspension does not sag, and there are no knocks at all. Although perfectly presentable, the wheels would benefit from refinishing as the chrome is starting to peel in the barrels. The interior is in remarkable condition for the age and mileage. There is only minor wear to the drivers seat, and the rest of the interior could pass off as being from a car with a quarter of the mileage. The paperwork shows that the previous owner installed a Grom Bluetooth adapter, although I've never tried to use it. Being a 2005 car, this attracts the lower 430 pounds annual road tax, rather than the 760 it would if it was a 2006 registered car. The car will be supplied with 2 keys, the original book pack, a huge stack of paperwork, and (for asking price) the private plate can go with the car.
