2005 | Bentley Arnage T 24 Mulliner

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 5th September 2005 and presented in stunning Beluga Black with Beluga Black trim, Portland stitching and emblems finished with Dark Burr Walnut. This is a desirable colour combination coupled to the handsome Arnage T with a very rare factory sunroof and folding dash screen for Sat Nav. Supplied new by Bentley Edinburgh to its first owner, it has only had three owners in total. Within the history file is a selection of invoices and receipts combine with its full Bentley book pack and service book containing 13 stamps, the last carried out in September 2024 by Bentley Hatfield to the tune of £4,000, and a current MoT test certificate with no advisories valid until December 2025. Also supplied with the Bentley are copies of the factory build sheets clarifying the specification and the fact that it is a 2006 model build. This example of Bentley's 'gentleman's express' would appear to be completely as it left the factory including its original spare key. Fast becoming recognised as an outstanding car to drive and offering superb value for money, this 451bhp example is no exception. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
