2005 Bentley Continental GT

41,000 Miles

Silver exterior (Never Hit, No Paint Work Ever)

Burnt Saddle Interior (Flawless)

 

40k Mile Service just completed. This included all fluids changed, spark plugs changed, all filters changed, ect. cost $4,000

 

4 Brand New Continental Tires and TPMS Sensors installed at a cost of $2500. TPMS Sensors are not cheap for a Bentley. They have a battery life of 5 years and cost $300 each. This is why every Bentley you see for sale has the TPMS light on.

 

4 Upper Control Arms installed at a cost of $3,000. These control arms go bad on ALL of these cars at about 30k miles. Don't buy one from a dealer that needs them done. That's why people trade these cars in. TPMS Sensors, 40k mile service and the control arms go bad and cost a arm and a leg to fix.

 

This car shows several owners, however I moved a few times and it'll show up as a new owner.

 

I have both keys, all books, manuals, ect. The only deviation from stock is a IPOD interface for the stereo.

This car has never been in any sort of accident nor has it ever been abused or kept anywhere other than a climate controlled garage.

 

I'm not selling it because I have to, I'd rather use the cash for investment purposes.

 

Mileage may go up slightly as I do occasionally drive the car.

 

There are no leins or encumberances on this Bentley.

 

It's fully serviced and ready to go. Please, no ridiculous offers. I just put over $10,000 in this car to get it fully ready to go. Most of these cars you see for sale on here need TPMS sensors, services and control arms. They are all mostly driving on the original $400 consumer battery. If you don't buy my car, please buy one that has all the "bugs" worked out of it. These cars can get very expensive to service. Saving $5,000 on one off the bat will likely cost you $10,000 in service to get the car to the level this one is at. Also beware that these Bentley GT's have a problem with the cowl are where the computers are get clogged and collect water and erode the wiring harnesses. It's not IF, Its when. This car has had the cowl problem fixed from day one. It's never had any issues.

 

Please be reasonable in your offers.

This car spent 90% of its life in Southern California

Has a clean PPI and service history. Car is serviced by a Bentley specialist here outside of Chicago and you are more than welcome to discuss the car with him.

Jay Leno's 1930 Bentley GJ 400 is a 27-liter monster

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Jay Leno's Garage never fails to impress - and by that we mean both the YouTube channel and the actual place. The latest online bit features another truly insane vehicle. Leno's 1930 Bentley GJ 400 isn't actually a classic car and has few Bentley parts on it. It's really a modern custom with vintage looks and a 27-liter Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine for power. This machine is absolutely immense, and weighs over three tons.
The Merlin engine was one the workhorses of World War II-era planes. In the GJ 400, Leno believes the V12 is making around 650-700 horsepower. Although, he admits that it could probably be pushed to over 1,000 if someone wanted to. However, he clearly loves this behemoth just the way it is.
While the design is classic, the mechanicals are relatively modern. The engine is fuel injected, and power routes through an automatic transmission to the rear wheels. Many of the updated pieces are hidden as well. For example, what looks like a blower at the front actually disguises an oil cooler.

Bentley wants to get into the coachbuilding business

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

There was a time when a customer would buy a chassis from an automaker like Bentley and then take it to a coachbuilder to have whatever bodywork they wanted put on it. The practice was particularly prevalent in Bentley's earlier days, but the industry has progressed in such a way - with tighter regulations and unibody construction - that such a practice is no longer feasible. But Bentley wants to get back into that business.
Speaking to UK trade publications recently, Bentley sales chief Kevin Rose indicated that the company is looking into setting up a special division within itself to meet the demands of extremely wealthy customers who want to commission their own coachbuilt custom creations. It's an emerging trend that's seen Ferrari Special Projects build one-offs like the F12 TRS and SP12 EC and McLaren Special Operations the outlandish X-1, and Bentley wants to get in on the action.
It wouldn't be the first even to rebody a contemporary Bentley in recent years. Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera offers the Flying Star (pictured above) that turns the Continental GT into a shooting brake, and Dany Bahar's new coachbuilding outfit Ares plans to do the same. By bringing it in-house, however, Bentley would be able to pick the chassis up off the assembly line at the right time and provide the necessary support and factory backing.

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response

Fri, Jan 25 2019

Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story. Related Video: News Source: Popular Mechanics Read This Bentley Bugatti Ford Lincoln Saturn Suzuki
