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.
