Clean Carfax and AutoCheck History Reports
With limited mileage, ownership, and diligent care, this
Continental operates very well
For generations, Bentley has reigned supreme at the pinnacle of
automotive and social exclusivity. The later generation Continental
featured alloy wheels, body-color bumpers, and a refined suspension
system - after riding in one, it's easy to see how this became the
car of choice for the upper echelon. Only 421 Continentals were
produced throughout their 11 years of production.
Resplendent in its Brewster Green paint with tan Connolly hides,
this elegant Bentley Continental convertible was first sold by
Carriage House Motor Cars in Greenwich, Connecticut. According to
the accompanying CARFAX report, this car remained on the East Coast
for nearly all its life, receiving regular attention from Bentley
of Paramus, New Jersey, and other local specialists. Mileage
reports on the CARFAX do not appear until 1994, when the car showed
17,438 miles. However, subsequent entries track the mileage,
showing consistent yet limited use. It is believed that the
approximately 21,700 shown today are true and are consistent with
this car's excellent condition and quality.
Reflective of its cherished history and low recorded miles, this
Continental is in wonderful condition throughout. It sits level and
proud on the road on silver finish alloys wrapped in Michelin
radials and features attractive body-color bumpers. Brewster Green
is an especially fetching color, especially against this car's tan
Connolly leather upholstery. Tan pinstripes, a green leather dash
top and green carpet binding tie it all together quite nicely,
indeed. Of course, the seats, windows, and black top are all power
operated. Accessories include the original flask and bar glass set
(for passengers only when on the move, thank you), tan mouton over
mats, a period integrated Motorola phone, and the later addition of
a Pioneer in-dash AM/FM/CD player with boot-mounted Rockford
Fosgate amplifiers. There's also a full complement of vin-matched
books and manuals and the roadside factory jack. The car benefits
from recent major detailing and steam cleaning of the
underside.
An outstanding example, this rare Bentley Continental delivers the
luxury and style of its Corniche sibling, but in a slightly more
subtle manner - particularly in this car's classic Brewster Green
livery.
