Bentley Arnage
2002
The best year of Arnage in exceptional near new condition.This is a very clean and totally original Bentley Arnage finished in Wildberry contrasted with a 2-tone interior
combining Magnolia (light tan) Connolly hides and Wildberry (deep purple) Wilton wool carpets.
This is an "all its life" Californian car so she completely clean and dry throughout. Please do not confuse this
example with the many low-priced, tired and aged looking Arnages currently available. This one is close to show
condition.
This is the "purist" Arnage with the traditional Rolls-Royce 6.75 litre turbo-charged V8 coupled to a 4 speed
automatic transmission. With some 400 brake horsepower, it delivered very well for the cars sporting namesake. The
powerful panache of this car was aptly captured by one of UK's leading motor car writers at the time; "The Arnage
is responsive and agile excelling markedly over all previous Bentleys. Such power is this 5,000 lb behemoth that
when it powers down streets in East Sussex, it blows leaves off trees in Kent!"
This is a beautiful and commanding Arnage that presents in almost perfect condition. A very shiny, deep lustred and
special order paint-finish which appears to be completely original with no notable dings, scratches or marks. The
Wildberry purple is a very metallic rich hue of the fruits' natural colours and is simply stupendous on the Arnage.
All chrome and bright-work is excellent, as are the rubbers and other finishes around the car. The very deep tinted
side and rear glass contrast well with the rich Wildberry paint finish.
The leather is excellent with the Magnolia Connolly hides contrasted by Wildberry on the dash top-roll and floor
rugs. What many do not realise is that the interior of the Arnage is entirely upholstered in Connolly hide,
including roof-lining, door trim and surrounds, dash-board and console – there is no visible vinyl used anywhere
in the interior. Some 12 hides are used in the upholstery process. The Wilton wool carpeting throughout is
excellent and is elegantly accented with brand new Bentley motif over-lay wool rugs.
The wood is deep-toned Italian Burl Walnut which is a rich red-brown colour that sets off the 2-tone interior
colour scheme just perfectly. There are some slight imperfections in the driver and passenger walnut door
cappings, showing normal signs of hair-line cracks in the clear lacquer but these are minimal.
All features and functions are fully operational. Mechanically, the car has been completely gone thru by Park-Ward
Motors with all services up to date. This most recent service (just completed) was $8,000, to include brakes,
hydraulics, engine tune, oil services and general repairs to various items. The car has all the hallmarks of a
regularly regularly maintained Californian example with a totally dry environment with the underside of the car is
as clean as a near new example.
~~ This is not your typical $35,000 Bentley Arnage that is tired and tacky looking, but a pristine well maintained
example that approaches show condition. The colour is a rare order and simply looks stunning. You would be hard
pressed to find another in such exemplary condition as this one. She is priced accordingly and one should consider;
the cost of taking an average condition example and bringing it to this level, would be considerably more than the
asking price. With the last of the Arnages selling for some $250,000+, this Arnage provides for a very affordable
(cheap!) modern generation Bentley motor car. ~~
The history and make-up of the Bentley Arnage:
The Bentley Arnage was named after one of the trickiest corners the Lemans racing circuit has to offer. Aptly so,
as the design theme behind Arnage was to develop the most outperforming Bentley ever. Not only in its straight-line
power but in cornering agility. This was to be platformed on the modern BMW 4.4 litre V8 powerplant.
However, during the takeover battle in 1998 between BMW

You can buy the Queen's Bentley Mulsanne for $285,000
Mon, Apr 4 2016Want to feel like a king or queen driving around town? You'll want a Bentley. After all, the British automaker furnished the royal household of Queen Elizabeth II with the bespoke State Limousine, and delivered the very first new Bentayga to Her Majesty as well. But if you're keen to get a little closer to that sovereign feeling, might we suggest buying the Queen's own Bentley – namely, the Mulsanne you see here. Listed for sale on Auto Trader by a dealership in Surrey, this particular Bentley Mulsanne was reportedly used exclusively by the British monarch from 2012 to 2014. She's said to have used it during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations that marked her 60th year of reign four years ago, as well as for a visit to Prime Minister David Cameron's office at 10 Downing Street for his inaugural cabinet meeting. We wouldn't be surprised if she took over the wheel from her chauffeur from time to time, either. The Muslanne is said to have only 5,826 miles on the odometer – 5,000 of which was racked up in Her Majesty's service, secret or otherwise. On that note, there is no mention of 007-esque gadgetry or basic armoring you might expect from a head of state's car. Provenance aside, this being a Mulsanne, it's motivated by Bentley's ancient 6.75-liter V8, not the gauche 6.0-liter W12 or 4.0-liter V8 in the nouveau riche Continental. It's done up in classic dark green with a tan leather interior and walnut burr veneer trim, and can be yours for GBP199,850 – or $285k at today's exchange rates. Of course you could pick up a new one for not much more, but then you wouldn't be riding around in the Queen's own wheels, now would you?

2020 Bentley Continental GT plug-in hybrid spied undisguised
Thu, Sep 13 2018While at first, and even second glance, the Bentley Continental GT in the photos looks pretty unremarkable. In every sense, it's just a normal example of the latest Continental GT. On that third glance, though, you'll notice one extremely subtle detail that's off: it has a second fuel-filler door. That leads us to believe that Bentley has a plug-in hybrid version of the Continental GT on the way, and it's almost ready for production. And when we say this is a subtle change, we mean it. Unlike many PHEVs that have both filler doors on one side, this Bentley has one door per side. So from the side, there's nothing to tip you off to the strange addition. You can only notice the extra door from the rear, which shows both doors on the tops of the rear fenders. Either that, or you would have to know that the regular Continental GT's gasoline fuel door is on the right side of the car, not the left. As for what sort of hybrid powertrain is in this Continental GT, we would suspect it's the same as that in the Bentayga Hybrid revealed at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. It uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with an electric motor. Power and fuel economy haven't been announced for that powertrain, but Bentley says it is capable of driving the big SUV for 31 miles on a charge on the European cycle. We would expect the lighter, more aerodynamic Continental GT could probably eke out a few more mpg with the same setup. Considering that this test car was completely undisguised, and that it will likely use an existing powertrain, we expect this hybrid Bentley to be officially revealed soon. An announcement early next year with sales coming later that year seems plausible.

Bentley installing 10,000 solar panels in HQ parking lot
Wed, Apr 11 2018Bentley has started construction on what it says will be the U.K.'s largest solar-powered car port at its factory headquarters in Crewe, England. When completed, the array will have a capacity of 2.7 megawatts, enough to cover 24 percent of the company's energy requirements on the site. Crews will install 10,000 solar panels in the employee car port in a project that's expected to take six months. They'll add to the 20,815-panel, 5mW rooftop solar power system that Bentley finished installing at the factory in 2013. The combined output will be enough to power the equivalent of 1,750 homes. The car port will cover 1,378 parking spaces and be installed and operated by British firm FlexiSolar, which is also designing and manufacturing the system. The new green energy system adds to plaudits in recent years for reducing its water usage at the Crewe HQ. Bentley has also been awarded the Carbon Trust Standards for carbon, water and waste. While Bentleys aren't exactly known for their fuel efficiency — the Mulsanne sedan gets a woeful 11 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway — its vehicles no longer appear on the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy's "meanest" list of gas-guzzlers, as they once did. It also just showed its forthcoming and long-promised Bentayga plug-in hybrid in Geneva, promising 31 miles of all-electric range and a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 paired with an electric motor. The brand is also promising a full-electric model in the near future. "We continue to focus on new initiatives that reinforce our commitment to the environment, whether this is introducing alternative powertrain technologies in future models, or our award-winning work to reduce the environmental impact of our factory," Peter Bosch, Bentley's member of the Board for Manufacturing, said in a statement.
