The car presents superbly in Black Sapphire and has benefited from over £28,000 expenditure in the last few years. The interior looks simply fabulous in a combination of French Navy and Barley hides with dark blue carpets, dark blue Lambswool rugs and Burr Walnut veneers. The car has been subject to cosmetic improvement with a two week paint correction and detailing and further mechanical correction and preventative maintenance. It has very recently treated to an engine service by a Bentley Specialist where they reported ‘a clean bill of health’.
