 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.
