The entry
The Bentley Continental GT.
The Continental GT has been built as a two-door coupe, and from the second generation a convertible GTC, since 2003, offered across its history with both a W12 and a V8, most recently supplemented with a plug-in hybrid Speed derivative.
We review your Bentley Continental GT on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.
What we look for
What we weigh in a Bentley Continental GT.
Every Bentley Continental GT is reviewed on the same four things as any other entry in the Index. Gaps are normal; tell us what you have. Neither a modification nor outstanding finance rules a car out on its own.
- 01
Documented history: service records and provenance for a Bentley Continental GT, however complete.
- 02
Originality and modifications: what has changed, and why.
- 03
Condition, honestly described, including anything outstanding.
- 04
Paperwork and finance still to sort.
The specialist's notes
What we check on a Bentley Continental GT.
The Continental GT has been built since 2003 across three generations and a fourth, and the review starts with the generation and engine before anything else.
- Generation
- First generation, 2003 to 2011: 6.0-litre W12, six-speed automatic, all-wheel drive, GTC from 2006, Speed from 2007 and Supersports from 2009. Second generation, 2011 to 2018: the W12 launched with a six-speed automatic, and from the 2013 model year an eight-speed replaced it and the 4.0-litre V8 joined the W12, with V8 S and Speed versions. Third generation from 2018: a longer wheelbase, an eight-speed dual-clutch, three-chamber air suspension and 48-volt anti-roll, W12 and V8, with the Speed from 2021. The 2024 fourth-generation Speed is a V8 plug-in hybrid.
- Specification
- Mulliner Driving Specification (22-inch forged wheels and diamond-in-diamond quilting on the third generation), Touring Specification with head-up display and night vision, the rotating display, Naim audio, the 2019 Centenary specification and, on first-generation cars, the 2004 Mulliner Driving Specification and the optional carbon-ceramic brakes from the 2007 facelift.
- Service
- We ask whether servicing is up to date. First-generation points: coil packs and plugs, twin batteries draining in storage, radiator corrosion, the parking-brake module, water in the front-left footwell electronics, boost-control hoses failing through heat and modules under the scuttle getting wet. Third-generation points: air suspension failures. We check the VIN with Bentley for open recalls and confirm what warranty or service plan, if any, remains.
- History
- Main-dealer or specialist service records and the build sheet. On older cars the file is essential, because the known points are the kind that only show in the record.
- Condition
- Wheel kerbing (the wheels are large and a major item), tyre age, brake wear, the GTC's electro-hydraulic hood cycling cleanly, veneer and leather condition and the footwells for damp.

º2Do you need to see my Bentley Continental GT before making an offer?

Send the registration or the details of your Bentley Continental GT. A specialist reviews it personally and, if it fits what we buy, makes a direct purchase offer. If you accept, inspection and collection are arranged. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready.
º4Do you buy the Continental GTC convertible too?
Yes, tell us the body style and specification as part of your submission.
º5Do you buy the W12 and the V8 Bentley Continental GT?
Yes, and the hybrid Speed. Every generation and engine is a car we buy under this entry. Tell us which yours is and the specification, and a specialist reviews it on that basis.
