SUMMARY
An elegant 2004 Series 2 Arnage R with just over 64,000 miles in desirable Beluga Black over Magnolia leather.
DESCRIPTION
- The second-generation Arnage R replaced the Red Label in 2002 and benefited from the later 6.75-litre V8 which was completely revised by VW, with over 50% new parts including twin-Garrett T3 turbos in place of the previous single T4 turbo and state of the art Bosch Motronic engine management instead of the old Zytec ECU
- The result was 400bhp and 616lb/ft of torque propelling the substantial Arnage to 60mph in just 6.1 seconds with a top speed of 155mph
- This 2004 Type R looks absolutely stunning in Beluga Black with a Magnolia leather interior
- Initially supplied to Singapore, we believe from new, returning home in September 2021 and has been with our vendor since December 2021
- There is no period paperwork with the car and consequently the indicated mileage of 64,600 cannot be warranted, however we understand that the level of wear and great driving feel suggest that it could be correct
- With an MOT until the end of this year, this represents a super opportunity to own one of these iconic Bentleys for the price of a Fiesta
- The car has been guided with the absence of history in mind but there is a possibility that some history may be discovered prior to the sale which would be a bit of a bonus
