There is a significance in the name Continental SC. The Sedanca Coupes of the marque’s early years offered Bentley owners a combination of open-air motoring and the comfort afforded by an enclosed cabin. This SC reinterprets the original design with an advanced glass roof design, providing levels of refinement unimaginable to the drivers of its predecessors. Two removable glass panels can be released by the power latches and safely stowed in the shaped holders beneath the floor of the luggage compartment.
Interior appointments include: Fascia mounted push button starter, Gear lever with semi-circular chrome ball top and chrome and leather collar, Drilled Alloy brake and accelerator pedals, Two color hide interior, Sculpted hide covered dashboard cowl, Continental SC sport seats with perforated niche panels, Seat belts integrated into frame and automatic headrests, Turbo boost gauge, Stacked center console instrument layout, Electric steering column tilt exit and entry feature, Dual level air conditioning, 4x30 watt tuner-cassette audio system with 6 CD autochanger mounted in center console armrest, Two-stage heated seats.
As befits an inheritor of Bentley’s Red Badge, the Continental SC combines visual and sensual appeal with magnificent performance. Powered by a 6.75 liter Turbocharged engine, the SC generates 590 ft lbs of torque and 400 brake horsepower. This combined with exceptional roadholding and Bentley’s renowned interior refinement, make this one of the ultimate grand tourers of our time.
This Continental SC, previously sold by Autosport Designs is in good condition with original paint and interior. It has had the drivers side of the front bumper repaired and repainted (all photographed to document the minimal damage) due to a garage attendant damaging while parking. This rare Continental SC is ready and awaiting a new enthusiast home and prices to sell in comparison to others on the worldwide market.
