The common man will find this Bentley Continental GT indistinguishable from a brand new model as it swishes by in all its awesomeness: only the number plate will give the game away, and that is easily fixed.
A new one will cost you in excess of £160,000 which is a pretty penny and makes our car look an absolute bargain at the humble guide price suggested. Obviously the car is not new, but the quality has remained long after the initial purchase price has been paid.
HX54 WLC was first registered in September 2004 and has covered 67,500 miles in the last 15 years. It comes with a service book showing nine Bentley service stamps, with the last service carried out at 62,000 miles. The car has a current MOT (January 2020) and it should not surprise you to find there are no advisories listed. It even has a new set of tyres, quite a bonus with all those rubber-melting horses under your right foot.
There is no shortage of second-hand cars out there for around £20,000 but how many of them have a W12 5,998cc engine producing 552bhp and are capable of 200mph? And how many of them have the sheer presence of this Bentley? Not a one, we would say. Epic value, indeed.
