• Desirable Series 51 model
• Good service history

Unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, the Bentley Continental GT represented a significant milestone for the marque, being the first new model introduced under Volkswagen ownership following its acquisition in 1998. Combining traditional Bentley craftsmanship with modern engineering and increased production volumes, the Continental introduced the marque to a considerably wider audience. The convertible GTC further developed the model's grand touring credentials, combining open-top motoring with formidable performance. Powered by a 6.0 litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine driven through a Torsen-based permanent four-wheel-drive system, the GTC Speed was capable of reaching an impressive top speed of 202mph.

Finished in black with a matching convertible hood and two-tone black and Ivory leather interior, this Bentley Continental GTC Speed Series 51 combines the performance of the 600 bhp, 6.0 litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine with a distinctive specification. Introduced alongside the standard Continental range, the Series 51 programme offered carefully selected colour combinations inspired by Bentley's archives dating back to 1951. Interior appointments included contrasting leather, accent colours, bespoke stitching, diamond quilting, embroidered headrests, and distinctive Amboyna wood veneers. The Series 51 also benefited from lowered suspension and revised chassis settings.

Supplied new by Bentley Birmingham, this example has covered 72,250 miles and is offered with a comprehensive service history comprising 12 services plus its pre-delivery inspection. The first three services were undertaken by Bentley Birmingham between 2010 and 2013, followed by five at Bentley Essex between 2014 and 2018. Three further Bentley Approved services were recorded between 2020 and 2022, with the most recent completed by Lewmark Autos on 3 June 2026.

Presented in very good condition throughout, the car benefits from an extensive MoT history, with recent tests recording no advisories and the current certificate valid until April 2027. Accompanied by its original book pack, this GTC Speed Series 51 represents a desirable example of Bentley's accomplished open-top grand tourer. Consigned by Will Penrose
