BACKGROUND TO THIS MODEL

This is the current model vehicle and with the obvious exception of the significantly greater price and waiting time, there are no tangible differences (both in appearance and condition) between the vehicle we have here for sale and the one you would receive if you purchased a new example from your local Bentley dealer today.

If you are looking for minimal cost, basic motoring then this vehicle is simply not aimed at you however if performance, comfort and exclusivity are more of a priority, as well as fantastic value for money (now that someone else has paid for all the early depreciation) then this model offers the best combination of these attributes in the market place.

Specifically, if you have been waiting for one of the very best of these models then we would encourage you to take the time to read this listing and study the 120+ photographs which you can access from the web links at the start of this listing as this vehicle is in truly exceptional condition.

BASIC SPECIFICATION

This is a full U.K. specification, U.K. model (you can verify this against the HPI certificate by accessing the links that you will find at the beginning of this listing). When new with its extras it represented a very well appointed full Mulliner specification £142,000+ vehicle and it does not look or drive tangibly different today.

COSMETIC CONDITION

As you will have already seen through the above links the condition of this car is without fault and just as you would expect of this type of vehicle at this very low mileage (which is not all ways the case as these are wealthy people’s cars and this group of individuals are not always the most careful with their possessions).

The interior and upholstery is exceptionally clean being totally devoid of any trace of wear, stains or other types of general abuse and being a non-smokers car (the cigar lighter is even unused) there are obviously no burns or lingering smells and the ash tray has only ever been used to store coins etc…

Moving on to the outside this very much reflects the condition of the interior in that it basically looks much the same as it did when it left the factory. It is completely free of any trace or suggestion of damage, bad paintwork or poor maintenance (if you look very closely at the pictures you will for example see that even the backs of the mirrors are without any scratches).

It is quite beyond me how anybody manages to keep a car in this sort of condition, however the fact that they did remains quite unarguable; for example even the polished alloys are in exceptional condition suggesting not only that its owner was a careful parker, but also that they regularly removed the build up of corrosive brake dust.

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE THIS IS A GOOD CAR?

It is very hard to accurately represent a vehicles condition simply through words and pictures however as experienced car dealers with over 80 years of combined experience within the company there are a number of things we have learnt to look for that give a good gauge of a cars history. This is the reason that we include so many pictures of things that you are probably not used to seeing in a car advert; specifically we include these pictures for the following reasons.

1. Door & body shuts - so that you can inspect for yourself that there is no rust in the seams, evidence of replacement door skins, ‘over-spray’ from previous repairs or other signs of a ‘very bad car’ à The car you are viewing has no rust or overspray on any door or body shuts and has not had any replacement door skins

2. Wing bolt heads - the front wings of most cars are fixed to the chassis by a set of small bolts that are painted at the same time as the body when the car is new. If a car has been in an accident these bolts will have had this factory paint coating damaged as a result of them having to be un-bolted or adjusted à The car you are viewing has never had its wing bolts undone or adjusted and as such they are complete with their factory paint coating

3. Panel gaps - individual manufactures vary, however they generally expend a great deal of effort insuring their vehicles leave the factory with even panel gaps as it is an inference of both the quality of the car, and their manufacturing process. Unless a car has been in an accident these gaps should be the same as when they left the factory à The car you are viewing has all the correct panel gaps and its shuts and closures fit as they should

4. Factory stickers - when a car is made the factory apply a number of stickers (both on the glass and in the shuts) that cover various information or warning messages. These ‘factory stickers’ are always missing from cars that have had accident repair because they are virtually impossible to obtain outside of the manufactures factory environment à The car you are viewing is complete with all its original factory stickers

5. Supplying dealer number plates - if a car has both the original front and rear number plates as fitted when the car was new (rather than an accident repair centre) this is significant because it indicates that it is unlikely to ever have had even the kind of light ‘bump’ that would shatter the original plates à The car you are viewing has both its original dealer supplied number plates

6. Keys - if both original keys are present and they each work in all the locks it is a strong indication that it has not had any locks changed, which would have happened if it had been broken into or stolen at any point in its life à The car you are viewing has both original keys and they work in all the locks

7. Glass - all the glass on an accident free car (with the exception of maybe the windscreen) should have the correct factory insignia and originate from the same factory date as if a car is in a big accident invariably it all gets broken and when it is replaced the date stamps will be different à The glass on the car you are viewing has the correct insignia and originates from the same factory date

8. A full service history – apart from corroborating the vehicles mileage cars with a full service history will have had any recalls and other work carried out as soon as they were appropriate as well as having had all the minor (for want of a better term) ‘bits and pieces’ attended to. Additionally a full and regular service history indicates that the cars owner had the money and motivation to properly look after it and we have traditionally found that this provides a good inference on their approach to taking care of, and maintaining the vehicle in general à The car you are viewing has a full service history

9. HPI Clear – the HPI register or “hit list” as it is sometime know is the national database for all accidents, finance and theft records that relate to a vehicle. A car’s HPI certificate will show each category and report any applicable data and for a car to be ‘HPI clear’ it must report “NOT RECORDED” after every category which means that the vehicle has not been involved in any insurance payouts, write-offs or theft and also that it has no un-cleared finance still owing à The car you are viewing is HPI CLEAR and is supplied with an original copy HPI certificate

MECHANICAL CONDITION

As you would expect of a car with this low mileage and after viewing all the above photographs, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this car in terms of its mechanical condition. Most certainly if you have not driven one of these before you will be very surprised at how nice they are to drive. The roads around London are always full of incredibly expensive new cars but I can never really work out how people ever manage to rationalise the cost or what their owners could possibly be getting that a car like this does not offer, except maybe the guarantee of savage depreciation in just three years and a handful of miles.

Specifically, it runs just as it should, does not leak or use any oil or water and is a real pleasure to drive. Additionally as you would expect of a Full Service History vehicle, the antifreeze and brake fluid is clean being free of contamination, as is the oil.

TYRES

This car is still complete with its full set of original factory fitted tyres and the all tools are present and correct. In respect of individual tyre treads they are all in good condition just you see them in the pictures at the beginning of this listing.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

· The Sat Nav system is complete with its complete set of disks and is fully operational

· The air conditioning is fully functional

· The Tiptronic/automatic transmission works smoothly, both on the up and down changes

· The windows move swiftly without sticking & the remote central locking works on all doors

· The ABS and other safety systems all do what they are supposed to when needed

· The mirrors are in full working order

· It does not have any interior leaks or warning lights showing on the dashboard, nor are there any service warnings on the display panel

· The stereo and its remote systems all works as they should

· The onboard computer is fully functional & all the display LEDs are without any ‘dead’ pixels

· The cruise control is in full working order

There are no qualifications with the above statements, it starts, stops, goes round bends and drives in a way that is not tangibly different from what it must have been like when new with the engine sounding exactly as it should. Please take your time to examine our feedback history from which you will see that we mean what we say and that all our previous customers were happy with their purchases.

POINTS OF NOTE

At this point in our listings we almost always have a section supported by pictures that detail any specific points regarding the condition of the car such as a scratch on the bumper or a dent in the door etc… However, in this particular case we cannot think of anything of note to mention – this car really has been looked after and is in quite exceptional condition. We appreciate that on a car of almost any age and mileage the lack of points regarding problems might lead some readers to be suspicious, however we cannot mention anything if there is simply nothing further to say.

That is it! – Just so there is no confusion there is nothing else of any material note or potential concern regarding the cosmetic or mechanical condition of this car. When assessing this vehicle in respect to others being offered for sale, please bear in mind that we have explicitly stated whether all the mechanical and electrical items work or not, and have described in detail and shown in close up everything of possible interest.
