I have been a member for a while but have never posted I don't think.

I am looking at buying a continental GT preferably years 2011 and 2012. With regards to future sale;

what are the desirable options to have on the car?

A lot seem to have the Beluga interior, is this desirable? I personally prefer the linen interior.

I am particularly interested in the car below, what do you guys think about the price and specs?

Go through the service history and receipts to see what has been done. Tyre pressure monitoring system? Exhaust manifold thermocouples? Correct tyres? Warranty?
Get it inspected by a Bentley main dealer for latent faults.
Good luck!
I am getting a warranty wise top cover that covers all electrical and mechanical things on the car, Hope this helps.

Correct tires? What should they be?

Thanks guys. Just been to view the car. It is amazing. The black interior is very nice although linen would look better, black is just as ok for me. I have heard about water ingress leading to corroded wiring looms, do you guys think I need a technician to go over the car?

Also has anyone any experience with warranty wise so far?

Thanks a lot for your advice. The only reason I chose not to buy from a main dealer is because of the price difference. As a point of note;

2012 Onyx from a main dealer, NO MDS, 22,500 miles - £87,850

2012 onyx from indep, MDS, convenience specification, 8,800 miles - £88,900 with one year warranty wise warranty (04/40 - all electrical and mechanical covered)

What do you guys think? Make sense?
