2012 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL

Selling my 2012 w12 GT Speed.

Grey (Granite?) metallic with Beluga over Linen Mulliner interior plus piano black fascia.

86,000 miles

MOT Nov 26

4 x new Pilot Sport 4s Y rated

New radiator, system flush & antifreeze fitted by The Bentley Medic

Oil Service & filters carried out @85,000

20”alloys in gloss black

Private plate does not come with the vehicle - should revert to MX62FML

Viewing between Weston Super Mare & Cheddar 5 mins from

M5. NOT Exeter (can’t edit that for some reason).

Photos 11&12 are just after a 400 mile round trip North. Worse state she’s ever looked.

Positives:

Not your average Conti with a Pringle sweater and golf clubs in the boot - this is a weapon. All 6.0w12 Speeds are fast, I know. But drive a normal one, then come see this.

Awesome colour combo with contrast red brake callipers and seat belts.

Stainless ‘Speed’ sill plates.

Carbon front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser + supersports carbon rear spoiler (this may not be genuine, i can’t tell) with discrete Bentley wings.

Rear silencer box delete - sounds like a Norse God gargling mouthwash. Do you regularly leave home early or sneak out of someone’s house after the walk of shame? This is not the car for you. She will wake the recently deceased.

Potentially mapped but have no proof however the Bentley Crewe technician said “fastest Conti gen2 I’ve ever driven”. His words, not mine.

Burbles on overrun when pulling up - Doesn’t pop & bang, but it’s not super quiet either. Turns heads (in a good way).

USB media player fitted. Can play your iPhone through it.

New hotel battery fitted a year ago.

Genuine Bentley trickle charger included.

Everything working as it should unless mentioned in the bits below.

Handbook and partial history.

Negatives:

High level rear brake light non functional (common fault)

Slight air leak on front n/s - comes up ok. All air bags checked and not leaking but it’s definitely going down so there is an issue.

Small split at stitching on drivers seat out edge (approx kidney position).

Kerb rash to front nearside wheel, needs a refurb.

Stupidly dark rear window tint (might suit some, I hate it. Can’t see s**t out of it 😂).

Lower sills aren’t perfect paint but have ppf.

Ppf has bubbled in couple of small places - covered by silver black Union Jack badge pictured.

One new key, one new blank that needs the board sourcing and programming.

Summary:

If you are looking for a mint, immaculate low owner car. This isn’t it.

If you are looking for an honest, and different Conti for not huge money, that’s reliable and been regularly and sympathetically used - this is worth a very good look over.

Very quick, sorted, loud, aggressive looking Gen2 Speed for cheap money.

Super reliable - I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it to the South of France tomorrow and it wouldn’t miss a beat. Cost a fortune in petrol though 🤣

That said will do 28mpg on a run @ 65mph - or alternatively push your head into the seat rest whilst it folds time and space and spits you out of a wormhole somewhere near your destination!

Sad to see it go. Said I would be buried in this car but change of job forces purchase of a hybrid 🙄.

Still reading? Thank you. The car warrants it. Genuine car, genuine seller, genuine reason.

Asking £25,000 Ono.

Don’t bother with low ball “I’ll pick it up tomorrow” offers. I wasn’t born yesterday and I’m in no rush. I would rather find the right owner who will enjoy the car for what it is.

PM me and if I’m convinced you are genuine I will give you my number and we can talk.

In other words “no dreamers, no test pilots”. 😉
