About this car

This is an early Bentley Continental GT from 2004, the first year of the model that brought the marque a modern, high-volume coupe. It is a rare thing among them: a special-order Magenta car with a cream coachline, which sets it well apart from the usual silvers and blacks.

The spec has been personalised. It sits on 21-inch black and polished alloys from the 2014 Series, and the cabin is trimmed in Portland hide with Nautic as the secondary colour.

It has covered 52,000 miles, which is modest for a car of this age, and the page says it comes with a full service history backed by all the invoices. The dealer reports a 100-point safety check and a 20,000-mile service before delivery.
