Vehicle Description
Thoroughly updated and improved for the 2014 model year, the
Bentley Flying Spur continued its reign as the king of the super
saloons. Based on the revolutionary Continental GT coupe, the
Flying Spur deftly combines supercar performance with unparalleled
luxury and comfort. Aficionados will first recognize the Flying
Spur has been subtly restyled with a slightly crisper, taut
appearance compared to the previous generation, yet it still
retains the distinctly muscular look characterized by the original
Continental GT and Flying Spur saloon. Weight has been reduced and
engineers made countless improvements to the ride and handling, go
allow for greater comfort and improved control over less than ideal
surfaces. Of course, the performance remains astounding, thanks to
lower weight and 50 additional horsepower. The signature 6.0 liter,
twin-turbo W12 engine now boasts 616 horsepower and 590 ft-lbs of
torque, giving the Flying Spur otherworldly performance -
particularly for such a large and luxurious sedan. Other
improvements include a revised interior and entertainments system,
and the addition of an 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox, driving all
four wheels as before. Since its introduction in 2006, the Flying
Spur has redefined what a world-class luxury car can do and this
improved model raises the bar even higher than before. This
gorgeous 2014 Flying Spur is a one-owner example that has covered
fewer than 10,000 miles from new and presents in excellent
condition throughout. It was purchased new in California by Burt
Sugarman, the famed television and music producer responsible for
The Midnight Special, and The Newlywed Game among many other
successful programs in the 1970s and 80s. Mr. Sugarman is also
known to be a passionate automobile enthusiast, and he was
responsible for the creation of the Ghia 450 SS in the late 1960s.
Finished in White Sand over Linen hides, this impeccable Bentley is
a highly optioned example that has been used gently in the hands of
its previous owner. The White Sand paintwork is excellent, with
straight panels all around. A clean Carfax verifies single
ownership and zero accidents. Options include bright-finish 21"
ten-spoke alloy wheels, chrome matrix grilles in the front bumper,
rear view camera with parking sensors front and rear, piped leather
seating, 3-spoke sports steering wheel and picnic trays for rear
passengers. The interior is beautifully appointed and in excellent
condition, feeling showroom fresh with fine Linen hides contrasted
with cocoa brown piping, carpets, dash, steering wheel rim and
console. Burl walnut and brushed aluminum trim are unmarked and in
fine order. Rear seat passengers enjoy greater legroom than before,
along with beautiful picnic trays and individually adjustable
seating and HVAC controls. Electrical functions work as they should
and occupants can enjoy the crushing performance of this Bentley in
peerless comfort and silence. Given the low mileage, it comes as no
surprise that the handling and road manners are excellent and the
car performs as expected. The original manuals, instruction books,
quick reference guides and the instructional DVD are included, as
is a spare wheel and tool set, original front plate bracket,
Bentley-branded battery tender and two keys. Highly optioned and
finished in striking colors, this low-mileage Flying Spur is an
outstanding example that has been maintained in impeccable
condition by its sole enthusiast owner and is ready for enjoyment
by the next keeper.
