The seller offers for sale this 2004 Bentley Continental GT, a sophisticated grand tourer powered by a 6.0-liter W12 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. With 107,000 verified kilometers, this example has been used regularly while retaining the exclusivity and character expected from a Bentley. Originally registered in Austria, it is now offered for sale in the Netherlands with Dutch registration papers.
This Continental GT includes a range of luxury and convenience features such as power steering, multi-adjustable heated contour seats with memory function, electric windows, and a multimedia system with navigation, telephone, and CD changer. The multifunction leather steering wheel further adds to the comfort of long-distance driving. Service history highlights include maintenance performed by Bentley dealers in Vienna, Frankfurt, Leusden, and more recently by Brabo NL, with records going back to 2009 when the car had just 1,347 km.
The paintwork is assessed as being in good condition, with some small stone chips on the hood and a light scratch on the rear left. There is also some minor cosmetic damage on the entry sills. The body panels align well and the overall finish maintains the presence expected of a Bentley.
The interior also receives a good rating. It is clean and complete, though the seller notes that the headliner is sagging and one of the rear electric windows occasionally fails. The leather seats and dashboard remain presentable and intact, with only minor wear consistent with the vehicle’s age.
Mechanically, the car is described as solid, with a valid inspection.
Introduced in 2003, the Bentley Continental GT marked a turning point for Bentley under Volkswagen Group ownership. It was the first Bentley to use a mass-production platform and the groundbreaking 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine, delivering over 550 horsepower in early models. Its all-wheel-drive layout provided year-round usability, and the car could reach 100 km/h in under five seconds—an impressive feat for a luxury coupe of its size.
Design-wise, the Continental GT carried Bentley’s traditional lines into the 21st century with a sleek, rounded profile, large mesh grille, and signature dual headlights. Inside, the cabin was outfitted with hand-stitched leather, real wood veneers, and a focus on both technology and comfort. The Continental GT combined the opulence of a Rolls-Royce with performance on par with sports cars of its day, making it a unique offering in the GT market.
Over the years, this model has proven to be one of Bentley’s most successful, and early examples like this one are becoming increasingly appreciated for their blend of heritage, performance, and luxury. For those seeking a comfortable and imposing grand tourer with character and pedigree, this Continental GT offers considerable appeal.
