The Seraph, on the other hand, while very similar under the skin, was given the BMW V12 engine in an attempt to take it to even greater heights than the Bentley. And yet, in a plot twist worthy of an airport novel, BMW threatened to stop supplying engines after VW took control of Bentley, so VW went back to using the (updated) 6.75-litre turbocharged Rolls-Royce engine we'd all come to know and love.
The BMW-engined cars are referred to as the Green Label, while the Rolls-Royce-engined versions are Red Label. The latter received larger wheels and brakes to help cope with the engine's greater weight, and both models got a slightly stiffer bodyshell with the introduction of the 2000MY vehicles.
For a while the two models ran side-by-side with power and performance enthusiasts preferring the 6.75-litre car for its improved acceleration and in-gear urge, while press-on drivers more concerned with handling than outright poke plumped for the model with the German engine under the bonnet, largely because of its 600lb weight saving. (That said, only seven BMW-engined versions are thought to have been built, and all are left-hand-drive.)
So, for the majority of enthusiasts the pinnacle of the Arnage range is the Red Label; after all, they argue, if you're going to own a Bentley you want it to have a proper hand-crafted, Old School engine under the bonnet.
Delivered new via Bentley Milano and first registered on 20 June 2002, this Arnage Red Label has been regularly maintained by Bentley in Milan and Lugano, as well as by Romeo Ferraris, a renowned Italian specialist for the marque. It is accompanied by its original books presented in a leather pouch and an extensive file of maintenance invoices. The car recently benefitted from a comprehensive service at Bahman Cars in September 2023.
Now showing 139,370 km, it is offered with a spare key and its original Swiss carte grise (registration document). The last expertise, conducted by the Geneva State on 19 September 2023, confirmed the car to be free of defaults.
