Priced to sell!! This is a pristine showroom condition example of
the incredibly high performance 1998 Bentley Continental T. The
livery is an absolutely stunning Crimson Pearl metallic, being
accented with the matrix grill and chrome 18" Bentley wheels. And
the Wide Body configuration built by Mulliner-Park Ward swallows
the wheels and makes for an aggressive looking stance. When new,
this was a $325,000 hand built motorcar and this is one of 50 LHD
examples built in 1998. This Bentley is virtually as new, belying
the fact that its 20 years old having covered a mere 24,000 miles.
It has lived its life in the San Diego and Orange County, CA region
from new, with only one registered owner. It would likely perform
very well at concours events. As stunning as the exterior appears,
the interior we believe to be gorgeous. Displayed with soft tan
leather with suede bolsters and contrasted with St James Red
piping, the interior shows almost no wear. We love the wood accents
rather than the engine turned aluminum in most Continental T's. The
burled walnut veneers are almost perfect. We noticed one very small
imperfection only noticeable upon close inspection. This example is
consistent with Bentley's country club ambiance. We would like to
see the mouton sheepskin overlays added on top of the red Wilton
Wool carpeting. The true heart of the Continental T is the engine
and drivetrain. Built with the venerable Bentley turbocharged 6.75
liter V8, the T's had 420 bhp and an incredible 650 ft lbs of
torque available at only 2,200 RPMs. This provided the power to
achieve 170 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 5.6 seconds. And this from a
motorcar weighing more than two tons. Everything works as it
should. We completed a detailed inspection and found everything to
be in proper order. We ran a CARFAX and found it to be perfect as
well. This Bentley is ready to show, drive and enjoy. For more

Bentley is available for inspection at our Phoenix showroom.
