2014 Bentley Continental GTC V8 S Mulliner

A V8 S Mulliner specification Continental GTC from 2014, finished in Onyx Black Metallic over a Beluga and Linen quilted hide interior — a two-tone combination that works particularly well against the dark paint and contrast-stitched duo-tone steering wheel. The V8 S sits above the standard V8 in the GTC hierarchy, with revised suspension, Servotronic steering and the characterful 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 routed through a sports exhaust system, and this example carries the full Mulliner Driving Specification along with the Front Seat Comfort pack for heated, ventilated and massaging front chairs.

The options list is unusually comprehensive for a V8 S: 21-inch Mulliner wheels in black with diamond-turned faces, red brake calipers, piano black veneers, gloss black lower body styling, quad exhaust finishers, a jewel fuel filler cap and Bentley emblems embroidered into the headrests. Convenience kit runs to keyless entry, soft-close doors, power boot, three-zone climate, neck warmers and a reversing camera with front and rear parking sensors. A black mohair hood completes the exterior.

Now showing 58,000 miles with full service history, it presents as a well-specified, Mulliner-optioned GTC at a point in the depreciation curve where the specification rather than the badge does the heavy lifting.
