There was even more to come in the form of the Continental T. Introduced in June 1996, the latter was a short-wheelbase version of the Continental R, some 4" (101.6mm) being taken out of the chassis aft of the doors. With 400bhp at its disposal and crouching aggressively on 18" wheels, the low-slung Continental T looked every inch the thoroughbred Bentley sports car, the cockpit with its engine-turned dashboard recalling the heroic exploits of W O's 1920s racers. The engine start button was another neat 'retro' touch. The luxuriously appointed Continental T was certainly no slouch, racing to 60mph (96.5km/h) in a tyre-shredding 5.8 seconds on its way to a (governor limited) top speed of 156mph (251km/h). Equally eye-watering was the price: £220,312 at time of launch.
This gorgeous Bentley Continental T has been owned by the current (second) owner since 2005 having previously belonged to Alfred Krauthahn of Bentley Hamburg. Finished in black with matching leather interior, the latter featuring a machine-turned aluminium dashboard, the car has covered 43,900 kilometres (approximately 27,300 miles) from new and is described by our vendor as in excellent condition throughout. MoT'd to June 2024, this magnificent modern Bentley motor car is offered with a V5C document and all books and tools.
