2005 Bentley Arnage T Mulliner - 18,846 Miles

The Bentley Arnage T laid claim to the title of the world's fastest saloon car in 2002, needing to use all but the last two spots on its 170mph speedometer. Powered by the 6.75-litre Rolls-Royce V8 engine which had been treated to what Bentley described as 'the most thorough re-engineering of its life', the Arnage produced a substantial 450bhp and an amazing 645lbs/ft of torque, in no small part accredited to the twin-Garratt T3 turbochargers (in place of the previous single T4), an improved cylinder head gasket design and Bosch Motronic management system. Other developments included a 'drive-by-wire' throttle to go hand in hand with a new electronic stability program and revised suspension. It featured a roll stiffness 57% greater than the Red Label, giving the nearly 3-ton car immense poise and when coupled with a structure that was 10% stiffer than the Red Label, this luxury cruiser was transformed into a mile-crunching supercar rival, propelling the driver to 60mph in just 5.5 seconds in cushioned luxury.

Finished in gleaming Diamond Black with Magnolia and Beluga quilted Mulliner leather and features front and rear electrically adjustable and massaging seats, with electrically reclining rear seats – extremely rare. Factory optional extras include a chrome radiator matrix grille, Mulliner Le Mans-style wing vents (chromed), reversing camera with feed to front nav screen, rear headrests, rear seat entertainment system with Alpine DVA7996R, with TVs in the rear of the front headrest (DVD player fitted in boot), subwoofers, rear remote, fridge/bottle cooler to rear cabin, sunroof, rear privacy glass, 19" 7-spoke split-rim chrome alloy wheels, recessed Bentley 'B' badges to waist rails, front and rear massage seat functionality and extra veneered components including Burr Oak rear picnic tables.

In addition to these options, the car also benefits from Mulliner Driving Specification with diamond-quilted seats and door panels, engine-turned aluminium trim, drilled pedals, a two-tone wood/leather steering wheel and quad exhaust pipes. There is also a set of virtually unused deep-pile lambswool rear floormats. 

The service history includes maintenance and servicing by Bentley Leicester, Bentley Birmingham and RR&B (Rolls Royce & Bentley) Garages ahead of being stored with oil and filter changes then carried out by the storage provider. The MOT is valid until 1st July 2026.

This is a collector-grade Bentley Arnage T, with the very rare and desirable combination of light interior, rear foldaway tables, TVs, rear fridge and privacy glass, remarkably original, generously specified and beautifully preserved. A rare opportunity for those who value discreet luxury, presence and the charm of Bentley’s final hand-built saloon. We encourage your inspection of this fine car at our Silverstone Festival Sale.
