Vehicle Description
This is a pristine and totally original Bentley Arnage LWB by
Mulliner, finished in Arctica white handsomely contrasted with rich
red Fireglow hides and matching Wilton wool carpets. This is NOT
your standard Arnage sedan but the bespoked coach-built Long Wheel
Base edition which is almost 10" longer than the standard body. To
keep aesthetic proportions, the extra length is shared in the front
doors, rear doors AND the C pillar. The driver has an extra 2"
available leg room with the rear compartment gaining a massive
extra 8" of space. New, this coach-built Arnage was some $50,000
more expensive than the standard Arnage, coming in at well over
$300,000. This is predominantly a Californian car its whole life ~
Beverly Hills and Palm Springs ~ and also spent a few years in
between, so she completely clean and dry throughout. This is the
"purist" Arnage with the traditional Rolls-Royce Cosworth
engineered 6.75 litre turbo-charged V8 coupled to a 4 speed
automatic transmission. With some 835Nm of torque, it boasted the
greatest amount of torque for any 4-door car at the time. It
delivered very well for the cars sporting namesake. This is a
beautiful and commanding Arnage LWB that presents in almost perfect
condition. A very shiny, deep lustred paint-finish which appears to
be completely original with no notable dings, scratches or marks.
The special ordered Fireglow red leather interior presents very
handsomely and looks simply stupendous on the Arnage. The leather
is excellent condition. What many do not realise is that the
interior of the Arnage is entirely upholstered in Connolly hide,
including roof-lining, door trim and surrounds, dash-board and
console - there is no visible vinyl used anywhere in the interior.
Some 15 hides are used in the upholstery process. The Wilton wool
carpeting throughout is excellent and is elegantly accented with
over-lay rugs. The wood is deep-toned Italian Burl Walnut which is
a rich red-brown colour that sets off the interior colour scheme
just perfectly. The door cappings have sterling silver "Bentley"
logos elegantly in-laid. The finish is excellent all-round but for
some hairline marks in the back-seat picnic tables and a couple of
other spots but not objectionable and only mentioned out of clear
disclosure. All chrome and bright-work is excellent, as is glass,
rubbers and other finishes around the car. All features and
functions are fully operational. Mechanically, the car has been
completely gone thru by Park-Ward Motors with all services up to
date. With a comprehensive service records that come with the car,
it displays all the hallmarks of a well, no-expense spared,
maintained Californian example with a totally dry environment and a
clean underside that looks that of a near new example. Showing a
modest 48,000 miles. Although. if you were told the car had done
only 20,000 miles, you would believe it. Front Air Conditioning,
