The Bentley Continental GT was the Volkswagen Group's first flying B car and what a magnificent debut it was. Launched in 2003, the company really excelled itself - in a daring riposte to BMW and Mercedes-Benz's V12 engines, the Continental GT boasted a W12 motor with twin turbochargers and no less than 48 valves. A development of the technology that the Group had learned with VR6 engines but engineered and manufactured in Great Britain, the W12 is a masterpiece of compact design and a pinnacle of smoothness and sophistication. The fine GT that we present here has a most fitting registration number - SEW 550 - it really does run like a beautifully balanced 550 bhp sewing machine! With just one owner from new and in generally very good condition throughout, this GT has always been garaged, by night and day, when not on the road. It has been little used, hence the low mileage, but has been serviced and cosseted in accordance with its calendar requirements as well as by mileage covered.
It was last inspected and serviced in November 2018 and has covered very little mileage since, and all the service records and history are available to view.
