2018 Bentley Continental GT First Edition

With 19,221 miles from new, this 2018 Continental GT is a lightly used example of the third-generation car, which moved to the MSB platform shared with the Porsche Panamera. This one carries the 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12, producing 626 bhp and 900 lb-ft, enough for 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds and a 207 mph top speed. It is finished in blue and is specified as a First Edition, the launch-year trim for this generation.

The all-wheel-drive W12 remains the more characterful choice over the later V8, with effortless mid-range shove and the long-legged cruising manner the Continental does so well. Factory options include a bright chromed lower bumper matrix-style grille, a heated windscreen, a heated three-spoke duo-tone hide-trimmed steering wheel, diamond knurling on the interior controls and an inductive phone charger.

Equipment includes front and rear parking sensors with parking assistance, multi-zone climate control, heated front seats and keyless entry with push-button start. Low mileage for the age is the main appeal here, particularly on a launch-specification car whose depreciation curve has already flattened considerably.
