2009 Bentley Arnage T 'Final Series' - 10,610 Miles

When the Bentley Arnage T 'Final Series' was conceived, it was not just a celebration of luxury but also an embodiment of the brand’s unrivalled engineering excellence. Extensive investment by the VW AG Group had meant that later cars were much better handling than earlier counterparts. This stunning example presented here today carries with it a rare and storied provenance that elevates it above even the already distinguished line of Bentley motorcars.

Beautifully finished in Burnt Oak, this 2009 Bentley Arnage T is a true one off, specially commissioned for its first owner, Dr Richard Bryan. Notably, this Arnage features a special reserved chassis number, #CH00100, a number not recorded in Bentley’s usual registers, further elevating this car to a level of exclusivity rarely achieved.

The Final Series Arnage was distinguished by the flying 'B' bonnet mascot, dark-tinted upper and lower grilles, front wing vents and 20", 5-spoke alloy wheels. Other features included body-colour lamp bezels and a discreet Final Series badge on the boot lid. Bentley are synonymous with performance and the Arnage T Final Series is no exception. Beneath the bonnet lies the 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing an astounding 500bhp and an immense 1,000Nm plateau of torque from 3,200rpm. Carbon Ceramic brakes, optionally specified when new, ensure that this Arnage T’s power is met with equally effective retardation.

Despite its imposing performance capabilities, the Arnage Final Series is the embodiment of refinement, offering the driver a serene and composed ride, enhanced by a sophisticated suspension system and every imaginable comfort feature. The Burnt Oak theme is carried throughout the car, creating a perfectly matched cabin that speaks to Bentley’s commitment to artistry. The Burnt Oak leather upholstery is paired with matching Burnt Oak carpets, while the cabin's Burr Oak veneer exudes understated elegance. In keeping with Bentley’s opulence, the car features lambswool rugs throughout, ensuring the utmost comfort for all passengers. For those fortunate enough to enjoy the interior, it is an experience of remarkable indulgence. From the picnic tables, rear entertainment screens and a cocktail compartment secreting a bespoke hip flask, funnel and nip glasses, this is an Arnage designed for those who demand nothing less than the best. The four bespoke umbrellas housed within the car ensure you are always prepared for whatever the weather may bring.

With a mere 10,616 miles covered in nearly 16 years, firstly in the hands of Dr Bryan and its second keeper, our vendor, who acquired the car in 2018, this Arnage has lived a pampered life, almost certainly reserved for only the most special occasions.

It's supplied with its original photographic build book, Bentley battery trickle charger in its case, as well as rather expensive headphones for the entertainment system. This car is not only a superb example of Bentley's skill with traditional materials, but a rare collectible for the discerning enthusiast. The low mileage, combined with its special commissioning details and superb condition, ensures that this is a motorcar of singular rarity and appeal, an awe-inspiring masterpiece, representing the pinnacle of British automotive engineering and craftsmanship.

This is a chance to acquire a truly iconic piece of Bentley history, presented with all the grandeur and elegance one would expect of the marque.
