Description

This example is so striking in its appearance that it has to be seen to be believed.
The colour, the very individual trim, and that shape.

Then there is the fantastic history that accompanies this car, which the vendor has kindly provided below: “Produced in the traditional Bentley manner, offering huge performance, within the most comfortable of surroundings.
When first introduced in 1997, Bentley claimed 174mph as the top speed (a special 16/43 axle ratio helped here).
