1997 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL

Glorious Atlantic Blue paintwork over a Parchment leather-trimmed cabin including leather headlining, punctuated by extensive wood inlays across the dashboard, centre console, and door caps, as well as finely-crafted knobs and switchgear.

The cabin can capably and effortlessly accommodate four adults in comfort, while the generous boot space allows for grand touring luggage requirements without having to remove the full-size spare wheel, or the tools that are neatly stowed there.

It rides on a set of 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels fitted with bespoke-for-model Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico tyres (285/45/ZR18).

Equipment includes a starter button, reversing sensors, heated and electrically adjustable front seats with four-position memory, cruise control, climate control, a Kenwood stereo, and a boot-mounted battery isolator.

Accompanying the sale is the owner’s book pack, service book, two original Bentley keys with remote fobs, and a large file of invoices and documents detailing the extensive service history. The registration on this Bentley is the original registration number. Recent clean MOT granted.

This car was last serviced in February 2026 at 75,600 miles by marque specialist Prestige Services in Leeds, who also carried out a significant engine and mechanical overhaul on this car in the previous 12 months. The team at this specialist are former Bentley Crewe employees, giving the next owner peace of mind about their expertise in maintainingthis car, with a not inconsiderable cost of more than £26,000.

The overhaul of the engine and some ancillaries was extensive, including all new pistons, new liners, machined con rods, new big end shells, and rebuilt with fresh gaskets, seals and fluids before thorough road-testing. Further cursory assessments and revisions were made to the radiator, cooling system, mineral oils and other functionality.

Prior to this, Prestige Services worked on the car in October 2025 at 75,195 miles and April 2023 at 75,032 miles.

The Bentley Continental T is a rare and imposing luxury grand tourer, known for its powerful V8 and opulent cabin. This specific example is more widely known than most, having featured on Harry’s Garage YouTube Channel.
