Description:

STARTING BID IS BELOW WHOLESALE! The Continental Flying Spur market is a crowded one and this one is priced to sell. There is no shortage of examples to choose from. What makes this one different?
Maintenance, service, and condition
. The owner is a collector and does not skimp when it comes to any of his vehicles. I know these cars well. I see them all the time at auction. I regularly buy and sell ultra-luxury and exotics. It is not uncommon to see Bentleys with the dash lights lit up like a Christmas tree from careless use, neglect, and lack of service. It is also not uncommon to see a new buyer excited about one of those neglected cars, only to learn later that what they bought requires $10, 000 to $15, 000 worth of service because of deferred maintenance just to be safe and usable. Something goes wrong, and when these are out of warranty, they are expensive to repair. Here, you get none of that.
This one is light years apart
from those neglected beaters. It is absolutely exceptional, fully serviced, and ready to go.
Everything this car has ever needed has been done. When the current owner first acquired this one in 2014, it was sent to Post Oak Bentley in Houston to have an extensive service done. At that time, the sagging headliner (which these cars are known for) was repaired by the dealership. The vacuum pump was replaced with a new genuine OEM Bentley pump. A smoke test was performed to identify any leaks in the system and the vacuum piping was replaced where needed. EGT sensors were replaced for banks A and B. Spark plugs were replaced. Engine air cleaners were replaced as well as the in-cabin pollen filters. Brake fluid was checked and topped off. Key fob battery was replaced. A full fluid and filter service was performed.
More recently, this Bentley was treated to brand new batteries, new tires and an alignment. The front air shocks were beginning to sag over the period of about two days. These were replaced with new Arnot air shocks that carry a lifetime warranty and are believed by many Bentley owners to be superior to the OEM equipment. There was also some leakage in the air shock tubing and the tubing that supplies the air shocks was also replaced. The front upper right control arm also had some play due to a worn bushing, so the entire control arm was replaced with a genuine OEM Bentley replacement. Additionally, there was a missing chip in the lower portion of the front bumper from coming in contact with parking stops. The owner decided instead of having a body shop patch and repaint the front bumper, he would replace the entire bumper with a genuine OEM Bentley replacement. This was only done as a cosmetic refresh, not due to an accident, etc to the front end. The total bill just for that voluntary cosmetic replacement alone was about $4, 000, but again, the owner is very meticulous.
Inside and out, the car is in excellent condition. Never smoked in, never abused, always stored inside, and aficionado/collector owned. The wood inlays are lustrous as they should be, and the leather has been conditioned and is in excellent condition. The car drives fantastic as it should thanks in part to the meticulous maintenance. Here, there are no surprises and third party inspections are invited, encouraged, and welcomed.
Financing IS available on this Bentley. Contact me for details. This Bentley has NOT been involved in a flood or any other natural perils. Deposit due within 24 hours of the close of this auction.
