SALE PENDING!! This is a beautiful special order 2001 Bentley
Arnage Red Label with stunning saddle leather contrasted with piano
black ebony wood throughout. This Bentley has accumulated 19,300
miles since new and has been a consistent award winner at regional
concours and RROC events. It is very close to showroom condition
throughout. The previous owner of six years looked at 20 other
Arnages on a quest to find the very best before finding this
example. This Arnage sold new at Dimmitt Rolls-Royce and Bentley in
Florida and retailed for about $230,000. This is the only Arnage
with this specification in existence, making it truly 1 of 1. The
exterior is finished in its original Beluga Black paint which is
nearly perfect. Our inspection only found one very small paint chip
on the drivers side A-pillar. The paint is deep and rich and looks
stunning with the dark window tinting and the chrome accepts and
original Bentley chrome wheels. The interior is perhaps even more
impressive and much more rare. The Saddle tan leather is nearly
perfect in all respects. This is the only Arnage known that was
ordered with the Continental R seats, which make it unique and
stunning. The leather is contrasted with piano black Ebony wood
throughout that is simply gorgeous. It is a very rare option for a
Rolls or Bentley. The last time we saw this feature was in the
Rockefellers Rolls-Royce Phantom V James Young Sedanca. From an
email sent to us by Richard Vaughan: "...I happen to be the author
of The Complete Guide to the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph and Bentley
Arnage. I saw your ad and wanted to alert you to just how special
that car is. It's a one-off special order commissioned by the late
Woody Richey, at Dimmitt RR/B. Woody was well known in RROC circles
for ordering the most bespoke cars form Crewe. He knew how the
bespoke system worked and really understood his customers and
helped them create special cars. This particular car was ordered
with soft trim to have the style of the Continental R, making it
one of one. Have a look at some other Arnages, you will not see
this seat trim style in any other car." Other features of the
interior include a Saddle leather headliner that has front to back
pleats, Ebony black picnic tables, reclining rear seats and black
mouton sheepskin overlays over the black Wilton wool carpeting.
There is a wear mark in the carpet next to the accelerator pedal
where the original owners high heels wore through. Mechanically,
this Bentley is nearly as new. We conducted our own independent
inspection and found only the hood and trunk lifting springs to be
weak, necessitating a little more lifting than normal. It is
obvious that this isn't the Bentley that has sat unattended for
years. It has consistently been enjoyed about 1,000 miles per year
and well maintained and serviced. The Bentley drives beautifully
with all the annual servicing being conducted by a factory trained
independent Rolls-Bentley engineer. The last service was performed
this summer and two new batteries were just installed. This Arnage
is beautiful and ready to be inspected at the owners home in Texas.
