Vehicle Description

We are proud to present for sale, an exceptional example of the ultimate gentleman’s carriage and what was, at the time, the most powerful road going Bentley ever produced.

The Car
Our particular Arnage was supplied by Jack Barclay Bentley on the 15th of November 2004 to a Jordanian businessman and cost an eye watering £178118.90. He kept the Bentley for 7 years until ownership passed to the director of London Car Storage, a specialist classic and luxury car storage facility in Islington, in 2011. Between its 2 owners, it has accumulated just 14618 miles.

The Drive
Magic carpet ride is something of an overused cliché but in the case of our Bentley, its justified. The car wafts down the road with impeccable manners and unusually for a 2.5 tonne luxury car, doesn’t mind being hustled into corners either, if you are that way inclined.
It’s very quick too, with 453bhp and a colossal 645lb-ft of torque on tap, 60mph arrives in under 6 seconds and if you find a quiet stretch of autobahn, it will carry on accelerating, locomotive like, all the way to 170mph.
Our Bentley, as you would imagine considering its mileage, drives utterly without fault and feels just as tight and powerful as the day it rolled off of the Crewe production line.
There are very few large, luxurious saloons that can also appeal to the driving enthusiast and nothing combines these two attributes quite like the Bentley Arnage.

The Exterior
Maybe it’s the size, maybe it’s the shape, maybe it’s the almost blemish free ‘Diamond Black’ paintwork but my word, this Arnage has presence, a lot of presence! From its long-sculptured bonnet to its twin tail pipes, it is arrow straight without a hint of a dent or unsightly scratch. Its condition can be attributed partly due to its incredibly low mileage and partly due to it being kept in a climate-controlled storage facility for the past 12 years. The 19 inch 5 spoke split rim wheels all present beautifully with just a couple of minor scuffs to the near side front. They are wrapped in a matching set of Pirelli Asimmetrico tyres.
The tyres are all legal and have plenty of tread, they are however quite old now but do speak to its originality, so we can provide a new set if you so desire, but haven’t fitted any to leave that decision to the buyer.
All the badges, trim and glass are damage free and it has just under gone a full two stage machine polish, it truly does look spectacular.

The Interior
Inside it is an intimate cocoon of leather and walnut clad opulence. However the combination of Beluga hide and engine turned aluminium trim blows away any pretence of brashness, just exquisitely crafted sporting luxury.
The heated and electrically adjusted quilted front and rear seats are all in near perfect condition as are the carpets with their deep lambswool over mats. All the 7 chrome ringed dials are clear and all work perfectly, as does everything else from the sunroof to the climate control with ice cold A/C. All the trim and walnut veneer is damage free including the fold down rear picnic tables.
It’s not all old school charm either, The cleverly hidden satellite navigation screen rises gracefully out of the top of the dash at the touch of a button and next to the chrome and leather gear selector lies a “sport” button.
Moving to the boot, it is much the same story as the cabin, even down to the matching lambswool over mat. Both Bentley umbrellas are present, as is the original tool kit, jack and spare, even the original white cotton gloves remain. The interior is again testament to Bentley’s incredible ability to combine sporting heritage with opulent luxury.

Conclusion
The car has been used extremely sparingly and when not in use has been stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment. Interestingly, the Bentley still features on the London Car Storage website.
It has just undergone a full inspection and service with new oil and filters, brake fluid and 2 new batteries being applied, it also has an advisory free MOT until June of next year.
The car also comes with 2 keys and a ream of paperwork documenting previous main dealer service invoices, repairs, full specification sheet and its original sales invoice. The original Service book is not with the pack.
There is no doubt the Bentley Arnage sits at the top of a very exclusive pile. It has an indefinable class and sense of occasion that none of its rivals can match and we stress that it would be near impossible to find one with the combination of desirable specification, incredibly original, pristine condition with an odometer to match.
