I bought this car for my
collection, but life is unpredictable and change is inevitable. So I have to
sell some of my most valued assets. The car was driven sparingly and always
well taken care of throughout its life starting with its first owner. Over the years, the car was stored in a
climate controlled garage, only being driven averaging 1,887 miles per year and
on special occasions. It is kept in meticulous mechanical condition. I
can only tell and attest to the unbelievable mechanical and
cosmetic condition of this car. It was regularly serviced by an
authorized Bentley service authorized dealership keeping all aspects of the car
in tip top condition. No rust whatsoever since it was a Florida car until I bought it.
Really, here for your
consideration is a car which is ALL ORIGINAL with the exception of the sound
system which was professionally installed and it sounds like live symphony
orchestra! Original Bentley radio is included and it can be reinstall if
desired. This car as of today displays 22,298 original miles, [as of this
writings], making it a truly special automobile.
PLEASE DO NOT MISS YOUR
OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS CAR! Schedule a test drive by calling me at seven five seven, three seven three, three two five seven, you will not be disappointed with the car. The car would be
an unbelievable value for any buyer as it stickered with all options for
over $230,000 in 2001 with the back seat wood trays as the only exception.
There is a whole lot of luxury, performance, and engineering in this car for
the amount of money which will be paid for. It is a car which would satisfy
even the most discerning luxury car buyer or would fit well in the collection
of a true Bentley aficionado! I will accept a reasonable offer and end the Ebay auction but I am not hard pressed to give it away.
It is a car you must see in person to believe
and I highly encourage any bidder to inspect the car in person before bidding.
This car is sold as is, where is with no existing or implied warranty. I am
open to a variety of payment options (cash, money order, cashier’s check, wire
transfer), but, as in any normal sale, the money must clear my account before
the car and title is released.
CONDITION:
Exterior
The exterior on this car
is about as solid as one can get. As you can see in the pictures, the original Navy
Blue paint shines like nothing else you will find. The only imperfections to be
found are minor rock chips and scratches on the rear bumper, I found only a few
on the entire car and if I didn’t go over it so stringently I would have never
seen them. Even for a car with such low miles, the exterior looks stunningly
new. The only flaw of the exterior is some very minor scratches on the lower
areas and a small ding on the left rear quarter panel, all too minor to see
unless very close. I am aiming to be overly critical of this car so that the
buyer knows just how good the car is and with full disclosure up front.
Interior
The interior is also
immaculate with the Magnolia Leather interior playing well with the Navy Blue
exterior. From the headliner to the carpets, the interior shows as new. As
clique as it may seem, the interior even still smells of "new car"
which is pretty incredible for a car that is now 12 years old. All seats
look as nobody ever sat on them. The car comes with ALL ITS FACTORY BOOKS,
2 KEYS with REMOTES, NAVIGATION AND STEREO REMOTE CONTROLS, ORIGINAL BENTLEY RADIO, BOOKS & OWNER’S MANUALS
PLUS ALL ORIGINAL BENTLEY FLOORMATS !. As you can see from the photos. the
interior is nothing short of magnificent British art with acres of thick
leather, chrome knobs and real wood!
Underhood
All original. clean and
sanitary. EXACTLY as delivered from the factory. There is absolutely nothing to
fault under the hood of this car.
Undercarriage
As you can see in the
pictures, the undercarriage photo taken when it had its oil service and
inspection, is clean, well sorted, and obviously rust free throughout, typical
of a car with such low mileage and kept in a climate controlled garage.
Trunk Area
As new, original Bentley
umbrella in the trunk, all in meticulous condition.
Ride Qualities
This car has been kept in
a climate controlled garage over the last 12 years, only being started and
taken out on weekends to keep the car in fantastic mechanical condition. The
car still has the feeling of floating as you cruise in it, as any new Bentley
Rolls-Royce rides. This car feels tight and factory new, the motor has been
serviced appropriately throughout the car's life and it pulls extremely strong
through the gears. The transmission shifts smoothly at all speeds and ALL
electronics are in perfect working order! Please schedule a test drive with me
and and you will see for yourself how nice this car is !
Bentley History and Brief Description
In 1999, the
Rolls-Royce/Bentley divorce was being finalized, with Rolls-Royce going to live
with BMW and Bentley awarded majority ownership to VW. But for a brief period
of time between 1999 ~ 2002, a limited number of only 2,273 Bentleys were
produced worldwide and got the spectacular turbocharged Rolls-Royce V8s
co-developed by Cosworth! These Bentleys were the last of the big cruisers
fully designed in-house by Rolls-Royce engineers and craftsmen. Original
sticker base price, a whopping $209,900.00 before options,
shipping, and taxes. The original owner was into this one for a cool $230,000.00
plus! Today you can enjoy that sybaritic hedonism in grand style for a fraction
of the original price. The Bentley Arnage by Rolls-Royce is instantly
recognizable anywhere, and putting a train’s cow-catcher on the nose would not
improve its ability to part slow-moving traffic. In typical Bentley fashion,
the bodywork is beautiful, tasteful, elegant, and sublimely finished to the
highest standards. Even parked next to an S-Class Mercedes, the paint on the
Arnage is notably nicer. There has never been any damage, no accidents, and the
car has obviously been professionally maintained from day one by someone who
cared. It cuts an imposing figure, and will never, ever be mistaken for
anything else. Show up in this one and people figure you’re a captain of
industry or a movie star, and no one will ever guess that you paid less than a
new Cadillac Escalade for it. Nobody else does interiors like the British, and
this one is like a gentlemen’s club that can do 143 MPH. The hand-crafted
interior features Connolly leather, detailed stitching unique to Bentley, real woodwork,
Wilton carpets, smooth chrome switches, and a complex curvature for the dash
panel and center console. Is it art? Well, perhaps, and once you’ve settled in
there you’ll feel like a million bucks. Cream-enamel-faced gauges are
spectacularly retro, and every single component feels expensive under your
fingertips. And if you’re lucky enough to be a passenger, the rear seat is
commodious with more stretch-out room than a Suburban. Power comes from Rolls-Royce’s
rugged and powerful 6.7 Liter
turbocharged V8 co-developed by Cosworth, which makes 400 HP @ 616 LBS of torque
in Bentley tune. It’s enough to make this car formidable on the highway, and it
wafts along in eerie silence at anything below 100 MPH. The Rolls-Royce
powertrain includes a 5-speed automatic gearbox, whose quick reflexes make the
big car feel 3000 pounds lighter when the road starts to get challenging.
Actually, its mannerisms make it feel like a car that’s begging to be driven
with the hammer down, just like the Bentleys of yore. With a fully independent air-ride
suspension, disc brakes the size of trash can lids, and fat 255/55/18 radials
on chrome alloys, its ability to hustle will astound you.
