*Beautiful Cypress Mica Green Continental GT
*Full service history
*A well-presented example


The Bentley Continental GT launched in 2003 as one of the most impressive Bentleys ever produced – and received widespread critical acclaim. Powered by a then all-new 6.0 Twin-Turbo W12 engine, the car produced a mighty 560bhp and 479lbft of torque that propelled the 2.5 ton car to 60mph in 4.8 seconds. The car was also the first car to be developed under the company's new Volkswagen Group ownership, and marked a new era for the marque. Not only that, but the car was also the first luxury car to be produced by Bentley for the mass market. Today, Continental GT's represent excellent value and still look just as good today as they did when they were first launched in 2003. This 2005 example, originally supplied new to Bentley Knutsford of Manchester, is presented in a stunning colour combination of Cypress Mica Green metallic with a beige leather interior. The interior is also finished with a Cypress green leather trimmed dashboard (to match the exterior), and walnut wood veneers. The bodywork and interior present very well, and the car comes with a full service history. The W12 engine also runs very smoothly and performs well and as it should. The mileage is also relatively low for a Continental, having completed only 62,000 miles. Overall this is a lovely example and offers great potential as a usable future classic.
