Bentley Arnage
2002
The best year of Arnage in exceptional near new condition.This is a very clean and totally original Bentley Arnage finished in Wildberry contrasted with a 2-tone interior
combining Magnolia (light tan) Connolly hides and Wildberry (deep purple) Wilton wool carpets.
This is an "all its life" Californian car so she completely clean and dry throughout. Please do not confuse this
example with the many low-priced, tired and aged looking Arnages currently available. This one is close to show
condition.
This is the "purist" Arnage with the traditional Rolls-Royce 6.75 litre turbo-charged V8 coupled to a 4 speed
automatic transmission. With some 400 brake horsepower, it delivered very well for the cars sporting namesake. The
powerful panache of this car was aptly captured by one of UK's leading motor car writers at the time; "The Arnage
is responsive and agile excelling markedly over all previous Bentleys. Such power is this 5,000 lb behemoth that
when it powers down streets in East Sussex, it blows leaves off trees in Kent!"
This is a beautiful and commanding Arnage that presents in almost perfect condition. A very shiny, deep lustred and
special order paint-finish which appears to be completely original with no notable dings, scratches or marks. The
Wildberry purple is a very metallic rich hue of the fruits' natural colours and is simply stupendous on the Arnage.
All chrome and bright-work is excellent, as are the rubbers and other finishes around the car. The very deep tinted
side and rear glass contrast well with the rich Wildberry paint finish.
The leather is excellent with the Magnolia Connolly hides contrasted by Wildberry on the dash top-roll and floor
rugs. What many do not realise is that the interior of the Arnage is entirely upholstered in Connolly hide,
including roof-lining, door trim and surrounds, dash-board and console – there is no visible vinyl used anywhere
in the interior. Some 12 hides are used in the upholstery process. The Wilton wool carpeting throughout is
excellent and is elegantly accented with brand new Bentley motif over-lay wool rugs.
The wood is deep-toned Italian Burl Walnut which is a rich red-brown colour that sets off the 2-tone interior
colour scheme just perfectly. There are some slight imperfections in the driver and passenger walnut door
cappings, showing normal signs of hair-line cracks in the clear lacquer but these are minimal.
All features and functions are fully operational. Mechanically, the car has been completely gone thru by Park-Ward
Motors with all services up to date. This most recent service (just completed) was $8,000, to include brakes,
hydraulics, engine tune, oil services and general repairs to various items. The car has all the hallmarks of a
regularly regularly maintained Californian example with a totally dry environment with the underside of the car is
as clean as a near new example.
~~ This is not your typical $35,000 Bentley Arnage that is tired and tacky looking, but a pristine well maintained
example that approaches show condition. The colour is a rare order and simply looks stunning. You would be hard
pressed to find another in such exemplary condition as this one. She is priced accordingly and one should consider;
the cost of taking an average condition example and bringing it to this level, would be considerably more than the
asking price. With the last of the Arnages selling for some $250,000+, this Arnage provides for a very affordable
(cheap!) modern generation Bentley motor car. ~~
The history and make-up of the Bentley Arnage:
The Bentley Arnage was named after one of the trickiest corners the Lemans racing circuit has to offer. Aptly so,
as the design theme behind Arnage was to develop the most outperforming Bentley ever. Not only in its straight-line
power but in cornering agility. This was to be platformed on the modern BMW 4.4 litre V8 powerplant.
However, during the takeover battle in 1998 between BMW

Bentley collectors upset about planned run of 12 continuation cars

Wed, Apr 22 2020

Bentley's grandiose plan to recreate one of its oldest and most emblematic race cars has summoned a dark cloud of disapproval from a group of wealthy collectors, including some who own the real thing. Several high-profile enthusiasts, like Ralph Lauren, jointly sent company boss Adrian Hallmark a letter to voice their concerns. The project started in 2019, when Bentley announced it would make 12 replicas of the four 1929 Team Blower models built and raced by Sir Tim Birkin. The dozen racers were spoken for in record time, and owners-to-be are currently working with the company's Mulliner division to configure their car. Bentley isn't the only carmaker dabbling in continuation cars — Jaguar and Aston Martin have notably brought back classics in recent years — but its project is the only one that has generated strong, vocal opposition from the enthusiast community. The recreation cars threaten to "dilute that special admiration and awe that can only come from viewing and embracing the genuine article," according to the letter sent from Hallmark. It was signed by Lord Bamford, Evert Louwman, and William Connor, among other collectors. Simon Kidston, a classic car specialist whose uncle won the 1930 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans behind the wheel of a Bentley Speed Six, opined the recreations will devalue the real cars they're modeled after. He also accused Bentley of turning into a poacher. Bentley isn't overly worried about the complaints. "After much research and discussion with a number of the stakeholders (vintage Bentley owners, restorers, specialists, plus a selection Bentley Drivers Club and Benjafield Club members), we tested the idea of making an official Continuation Series based on our plans for a sole recreation, and were overwhelmed with the positivity of the response. While we heard some similar concerns to those expressed in the letter, the vast majority of feedback was hugely supportive of the project," a company spokesperson told Autoblog. The firm added the continuation cars will not be painted in the same color combinations as the four original racers so they'll be instantly recognizable as replicas. Production and deliveries will carry on as planned, then. Related Video:

Bentley Continental Flying Spur spied lapping the 'Ring

Fri, May 4 2018

It's been months since we've heard anything about the next-gen Bentley Continental Flying Spur. We know the four-door variant of the Bentley Continental GT is coming sometime soon, but all we've seen so far is one batch of spy shots of a car that doesn't stray too far from the current model. This new batch of photos shows another familiar car lapping the Nurburgring. Although this car is still heavily camouflaged (with some stickers that make it look like the current car), we can make some good assumptions based on the Continental GT. The car will have a larger grille, a new headlight design and oval taillights that mirror the exhaust tips. Under the hood, we expect the turbocharged W12 to carry over. Look for V8 and plug-in hybrid variants to arrive sometime down the line. We don't know when the car will go on sale, but don't expect to wait too much longer. It's been eight months since the Continental GT was revealed, and this is really nothing more than a platform variant. Look for a full reveal sometime this summer.

2022 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible puts 208 mph of wind in your hair

Tue, Apr 13 2021

The Bentley Continental GT is once again merging the higher-performance capabilities of its Speed trim level with the open-top convertible body style in the new 2022 Bentley Continental GT Speed convertible. The GT Speed convertible's upgrades largely mirror those of the recently unveiled 2022 GT Speed coupe. They start with increased output from Bentley's W12 engine, which has been turned up to 650 horsepower from 626 horsepower in the non-Speed W12 (torque remains unchanged at 664 lb-ft) and given a more characterful exhaust note. The W12 here again pairs with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, although both have been recalibrated for Speed duty. The transmission spends more time in lower gears, while the all-wheel-drive system has a more rearward torque bias in the various drive modes. The combination is good for a factory-stated 0-to-60-mph time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph. That's 0.1 second and quicker than the standard W12 convertible and 1 mph faster, thus earning the Speed its name. The Speed's chassis also has been upgraded, with four-wheel steering, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, and optional carbon-ceramic disc brakes with 10-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. They join existing Continental GT chassis technologies that include active air suspension, adaptive dampers, and active anti-roll bars powered by a specific 48-volt electric system. Speed-specific 22-inch wheels are offered in a dark-tint finish to match the mesh grille or, alternately, bright silver or gloss black. Special side gills and discrete "Speed" badging complete the modest exterior makeover. The convertible top is offered in a choice of seven colors including an oh-so-British tweed, and there are eight headliner colors. The fully automated roof can be stowed or raised in 19 seconds. The cabin features Alcantara microsuede accents and two-tone leather and Alcantara seating surfaces with diamond-in-diamond pattern stitching and "Speed" logos stitched into the headrests. Piano black trim is standard, but numerous wood veneers can be specced. There are also metal-trimmed pedals. Heated and ventilated seats are on hand, along with a heated steering wheel and heated armrests to maximize the top-down driving season. There's also a standard neck-warmer that is said to be more powerful and also quieter than before.
