To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The
S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019.
Estimate:
€25,000 - €35,000
- Lovely grey over two-tone cream-and-red colour scheme
- One of 1,521 LHD Arnage Red Labels produced
- Delivered new to Portuguese owner
The Bentley Arnage Red Label was released early on in Volkswagen's
ownership of the fabled British marque. Keen to impress, several
key updates were made to the new Arnage Red Label, including larger
wheels and brakes, a stiffer body shell, increased rear leg room,
an Alpine Navigation system as standard, as well as front and rear
park distance control.
Interestingly, this Arnage Red Label appears to have been delivered
new to a Portuguese owner, but was done so via H.R. Owen, Bentley's
distributor in London, in March of 2000, according to its
accompanying service manual. Subsequent service stamps show that it
remained in Lisbon since at least 2002, serviced regularly by
Bentley Lisboa. Its charming colour combination of grey over
two-tone cream-and-red leather adds a touch of character to an
otherwise stately automobile.

- Entregue novo a propriet�rio portugu�s
O Bentley Arnage Red Label foi apresentado pouco tempo ap�s a
aquisi��o da afamada marca brit�nica pela Volkswagen. Empenhados em
impressionar, beneficiaram o Arnage Red Label com diversos
melhoramentos, incluindo jantes e trav�es maiores, carro�aria com
rigidez torcional incrementada, interior mais espa�oso e um sistema
de navega��o Alpine de s�rie, para al�m dos sensores de
estacionamento � frente e atr�s.
Curiosamente, este Arnage Red Label parece ter tido um portugu�s
como primeiro propriet�rio, embora a entrega tenha sido feita pela
H.R. Owen, agente da Bentley em Londres, em Mar�o de 2000, de
acordo com informa��o constante do manual de servi�o. Carimbos de
trabalhos de manuten��o posteriores mostram que este autom�vel
permaneceu em Lisboa desde, pelo menos, 2002, acompanhado
regularmente pela Bentley Lisboa. A sua sedutora combina��o de
cinzento com pele creme e vermelha confere a este imponente
autom�vel um apontamento de personalidade.To view this car and
