The Arnage T laid claim to the title of world's fastest saloon in 2002, propelling the driver, in total luxury to a top speed of 170mph. Powered by a 6.75 litre twin turbo version of the Rolls-Royce, V8 engine, the nearly three-ton car could accelerate from 0-60mph in just 5.5 seconds. The engine was treated to what Bentley described as 'the most thorough re-engineering of its life' producing 451bhp and 645lb/ft of torque. Other changes included the adoption of a 'drive-by-wire' throttle to go hand-in-glove with Bosch's Electronic Stability Program which replaced the Red Label's traction control, but what really gives this nearly three-ton car its immense poise is a revised suspension that features 57% more roll stiffness than the Red Label. The car's basic structure is also 10% stiffer which means there are no creaks and squeaks of the sort that distinguished previous generations of Bentleys.

First registered on 23rd July 2004, this Bentley Arnage T represents an imposing and particularly luxurious interpretation of Bentley's celebrated flagship saloon. Presented in black with ivory interior and powered by Bentley's venerable 6.75 litre twin-turbocharged V-8 engine, delivering the effortless performance and abundant torque befitting the marque's grandest four-door offering. Despite its considerable proportions, the Arnage combines impressive high-speed composure with the supple ride quality expected of a Bentley, making it equally suited to long-distance touring or chauffeur-driven use. The cabin is sumptuously appointed with hand-finished leather upholstery, deep-pile carpeting, and finely matched walnut veneers. Rear occupants benefit from individually adjustable heated seats, multi-zone climate control, and traditional picnic tables, further emphasising the model's emphasis on passenger comfort. Reported by the vendor to run and drive very well, this handsome example is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner.

Supplied with a V5 registration document and accompanied by a good history. Combining imposing road presence, traditional British craftsmanship, and the characterful 6.75 litre V8, this Arnage T LWB offers an increasingly uncommon opportunity to acquire one of Bentley's last great traditional luxury saloons.

Specs:

Mulliner Badging: The prominent "MULLINER" badge located on the front wing (fender) confirms this vehicle was commissioned through Bentley's specialist coachbuilding division.

Interior Craftsmanship: The cabin features premium-grade "A" hide upholstery with distinctive diamond-quilted stitching on the seat faces and door panels, a hallmark of the Mulliner specification.

Veneer and Woodwork: You can see high-gloss, dark-stained burr walnut veneers applied to the fascia (dashboard) and door waistrails, which align with the traditional luxury finishes associated with the Mulliner portfolio.

Sporting Details: The interior includes drilled metal foot pedals and a sport-oriented steering wheel design, which are often bundled with Mulliner or sports-focused specifications.

Exterior Wheels: The vehicle is fitted with five-spoke alloy wheels. In the context of Bentley Arnage models of this era, these are frequently part of a sports or Mulliner package."
