2004 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Wheeler Dealer Live 2025 on Sunday the 1st of June, Bicester Heritage, OX26 5HA.

This Crewe-built car's numbers are impressive with a twin-turbo VAG 6-litre W12 producing 552bhp and 479lb/ft of torque fed through a 6-speed automatic box and distributed by the Quattro four-wheel drive system

0-60 in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 196mph are significant for a car of this stature

First registered in 2004, in current ownership since 2022, nicknamed Barnato after the Le Mans-winning friend of W.O. Bentley and cherished in a carpeted garage

Presented superbly in gleaming Barnato Green with silver, split-rim Bentley alloys, over Magnolia interior with green carpets, doorcards and dash, with brushed aluminium and highly polished, figured Walnut veneers

The factory specification includes front and rear parking sensors, cruise-control, multi-function steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, a media system with satellite navigation and electrically adjustable heated front seats with three-position memory

Less than 45,000 miles supported by a comprehensive service history. Most recent in March 2025 included an oil and filter change, rear discs and pads, brake fluid, rear upper and lower arms and an MOT ('no advisories')

In a desirable colour combination, complemented by a luxurious cabin and motivated by a powerful twin-turbocharged W12, this would make a stylish and exciting companion for daily driving, weekend cruising and long distance road trips
