The Appeal
Back when it was new, this British-built super-saloon would have set its original owner back over £120,000, making it one of the most expensive saloon cars in the world.
Based on the platform of the Continental GT and sharing its thumping 552bhp twin-turbocharged W12 engine, the Spur was Bentley’s luxury flagship, the second Bentley to be fully developed under the ownership of Volkswagen Group. Today, it has to be one of the most incredible luxury bargains going – finely engineered and opulently equipped, these days you can now enjoy the finest in motoring for a fraction of the original cost.
As saloon cars go, the Bentley Flying Spur has to be up there with the very best in the world and this is a great example and an incredible amount of car for the money. If you want to try the absolute pinnacle of luxury motoring for size, here’s an incredible opportunity not to pass up.

Cypress Grey is one of the smartest colours for the Flying Spur and manages to hide the car’s enormous bulk quite cleverly, the rounded lines and discreet colour making it appear smaller in the photos than it is in the metal.
It’s in great condition, with no notable damage or deterioration to the car’s bodywork just a tiny dent in one rear quarter panel. The 20-inch alloys are brand new,
Opulence is the name of the game inside, and inside the Flying Spur is every inch the luxury car you expect it to be. It has lovely Beluga Black leather seats and separate climate and audio controls for front and rear passengers. The climate control works perfectly as it has just been serviced.
It’s supremely comfortable and sumptuously equipped, with an amazing list of standard specification including dark stained Burr Walnut veneer, Breitling clock, steering column mounted gearshift paddles, electronically-adjustable front seats with lumbar, massage, memory and heating settings, rear heated and massage seats, keyless entry and keyless ignition, telephone voice control, rear electric blind and a glass slide and tilt sunroof.
The Mechanics
- 6.0-litre W12
- New brakes 700 miles ago
- Complete air suspension overhaul
- Drives beautifully
The Bentley’s 552bhp W12 engine, developed from two VW V6s, is an incredible feat of engineering and sounds like nothing else when you open it up, yet at idle it’s so refined that its barely audible. It has just been serviced, at the same time as receiving a complete overhaul of the air suspension system that cost over £3000. It has also recently received new brake discs and pads all-round.
According to the vendor, the car performs faultlessly with no warning lights or known running issues and is truly luxurious to drive.
