  • Left-hand drive
  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,034 miles from new
  • Apparently excellent original condition

Emphasising its racing heritage, Bentley Motors unveiled the new Arnage in April 1998 at La Sarthe circuit, home of the Le Mans 24-Hour Race and scene of its greatest triumphs in the 1920s. Bentley, together with parent company Rolls-Royce Motors, was in collaboration with BMW at this time, and the Arnage was the first Bentley to benefit from the Munich firm's engine technology in the form of an all-new 4.4-litre 32-valve twin-turbocharged V8 power unit. However, Bentley's subsequent acquisition by Volkswagen resulted in a partial volte face, with the 'old' 6.75-litre push-rod V8 being reintroduced on some models, beginning with the Arnage Red Label in 1999.

The BMW-engined car lived on as the Green Label, while the Red Label boasted redesigned front suspension to cope with the heavier 'big block' engine, together with brakes of increased diameter. In addition, subtle alterations were made to the interior, resulting in 2" more legroom for rear seat passengers, while features that had previously been 'extras' (power-fold door mirrors, for example) were included as standard. Despite its older and simpler engine, the Red Label amply demonstrated the truth of the old saying: 'there's no substitute for cubic inches', comfortably eclipsing its more-modern sibling in the horsepower stakes, producing 420bhp to the Green Label's 350.

The larger engine's stupendous torque, available from idling speed upwards, made the Green Label's five-speed automatic transmission superfluous, so the Red Label reverted to the four-speed auto 'box.

Finished in black with beige leather interior, this example has covered only 3,034 miles from new and appears to be in excellent original condition. There are two umbrellas in the boot, and the car also comes with Equatorial Guinea registration papers and customs document.

VAT, Car Tax and Customs Duty at the standard rates will be payable on this Lot if the car remains in Switzerland.

Bonhams is the guarantor of the customs duties and taxes clearance: consequently, this motor car cannot be released to the buyer or his transporter immediately after the sale.

  • Direction à gauche
  • Boîte automatique
  • 4 882 km depuis l'état neuf
  • Semble en excellent état d'origine Dans la continuité de son historique sportif, Bentley dévoila en avril 1998 la nouvelle Arnage sur le circuit de La Sarthe, berceau des 24 Heures du Mans et lieu de ses plus beaux succès des années 1920. Bentley et sa société sœur Rolls-Royce travaillaient alors avec BMW, et l'Arnage fut la première Bentley à profiter du savoir-faire de motoriste de la firme de Munich, concrétisé par un tout nouveau V8 double turbo de 4,4 litres et 32 soupapes.

Mais l'acquisition ultérieure de Bentley par Volkswagen eut pour conséquence un retour en arrière partiel, sous forme de la réinstallation du "vieux" V8 culbuté de 6,75 litres sur certains modèles, à commencer par l'Arnage Red Label en 1999. La version à moteur BMW survécut sous le nom de Green Label, et la Red Label vit sa suspension avant modifiée et le diamètre de ses freins avant augmenté pour faire face au surpoids de ce gros bloc moteur.

En parallèle, l'intérieur bénéficia de menues améliorations se traduisant par 5 cm supplémentaires pour les jambes des passagers arrière, et des équipements autrefois optionnels (les rétroviseurs extérieurs escamotables électriquement, par exemple) devinrent de série. Malgré son moteur plus ancien et plus simple, la Red Label confirma la véracité du vieux dicton "rien ne remplace les cm3" et distança de loin sa sœur pourtant plus moderne, avec 420 chevaux contre 350 pour la Green Label. L'incroyable couple du gros moteur, disponible dès le régime de ralenti, rendit superflue la boîte automatique à cinq rapports de la Green Label, et la Red Label revint donc à une automatique à quatre rapports.

Cet exemplaire, noir avec intérieur en cuir beige, n'a parcouru que 4 882 km depuis l'état neuf et semble être en excellent état d'origine. On trouve même dans son coffre deux parapluies. La voiture est munie de son certificat d'immatriculation de Guinée équatoriale et de ses documents douaniers.

La TVA, la taxe sur les véhicules ainsi que les droits de douanes aux taux courants seront payables sur ce lot si le véhicule reste en Suisse.

Bonhams restant le garant des droits et taxes douanières, cette voiture ne pourra pas être récupérée par l'acheteur ou son transporteur immédiatement après la vente.
