Only tyre and headlamp aim advisories across its entire life, which is about as clean as it gets for a 19-year-old car.The first-generation Continental GT arrived in 2003 as Bentley's rebirth under new ownership. The 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 produces 552bhp and 479lb/ft through a ZF six-speed automatic with paddle shift. Performance is there when you want it 0-60mph arrives in 4.7 seconds but the real talent is in the effortless way these cars cover distance, whatever the weather.This example averages barely 1,000 miles per year. The Diamond Black Pearl exterior remains unmarked, the Beluga Mulliner interior shows appropriate wear for the mileage. It drives as a Continental GT should: quiet, solid, and utterly unflustered. Early examples with this mileage and service provenance are becoming harder to find.Private viewings available at our Berwick upon Tweed showroom. Video walkaround on request.
