This is a stunning and rare 2005 Bentley Arnage RL (LWB) that has
traveled 46,000 miles since new and is in nearly showroom condition
today. This particular example is one of only 36 left-hand drive
RLs produced for the worldwide market. Every Arnage RL was custom
ordered through Mulliner and each is truly unique in its
specification, making this the flagship of the Bentley line. This
RL is well-appointed with factory options such as a rear
entertainment system, two-row heated seats, power reclining rear
seats, fold-down tray tables and multi-zone climate control. This
is an extremely comfortable and powerful car, capable of going
toe-to-toe with the very best that Rolls-Royce had to offer at the
time. This Bentley had an original MSRP of approximately $300,000.
It was acquired new with only 44 delivery miles on March 10 th ,
2005 at Towbin Motor Cars in Las Vegas, Nevada and received most of
its initial servicing through the same dealership. By August 13 th
, 2013, the RL was acquired by Suzanna and Wen Chen Ko in Rancho
Mirage, California. It was later acquired by a well-known
billionaire macroeconomist hedge fund manager in Bethesda, Maryland
with 43,000 miles. This Bentley has always received routine and
preventative servicing, mainly by leading Bentley dealerships, and
needs nothing to be enjoyed. This Arnage RL is finished in Beluga
Black (Paint Code 9561026) and the paint itself is in near-showroom
condition with only a few very minor touched up rock chips. These
are only visible upon close inspection (which is our role). The 18
5-spoke chrome wheels and the updated quad round xenon headlights
create a powerful presence of this very commanding-looking Bentley.
The Arnage RL comes in at a full 10 inches longer than the standard
Arnage and only adds to its beauty and overall look. Bentley added
the length to both the front and rear doors to create a very
proportionate looking long-wheelbase version of an already handsome
car. Inside, the Beige Leather (interior code A4888/4BH) is in
excellent condition, complete with black piping that creates a
striking contrast upon entry. The leather smells and feels
exceptional to the touch. Even the extensive headliner is made from
full Beige leather. The nearly new Black Wilton wool carpet is
complemented with Beige leather welting. Looking around the
interior, the light burled wood veneers with flying B inlays are
perfect and gleam from every angle. The rear passenger compartment
is loaded with the RL-specific options, including power reclining
heated rear seats with adjustable lumbar support and fold-down tray
tables. The feeling you get when sitting in the back of this Arnage
RL is akin to sitting in your own private jet for the road. Its
truly a unique and wonderful experience. Power comes from the
venerable 6.75 litre V8 fitted with twin Garrett T3 turbochargers
which produce 400 hp and 616 ft lbs of torque. When in full
acceleration, it as though this Bentley launches, belying its mass.
The acceleration is due to its incredible torque which is available
at very low speeds. This power is delivered through its very
smooth-shifting four-speed automatic transmission. This Bentley has
a clean CARFAX and has been well-serviced throughout its life,
including a major service at 41,540 miles. It comes complete with
both key fobs, many service records, a factory umbrella, tool
accessory kit (complete with gloves), and owners manuals. We have
this Arnage RL priced to sell. The NADA Value for this the model
generally is $66,000, and this example is spectacular. For more
