Unique Bentley Convertible Continental GTC 5998cc, Mulliner, registration 1 TVW



This truly amazing Bentley car is VERY special indeed. only one car was built in RHD specification in the UK with this outstanding specification.

With its gleaming, geometrically precise overlapping circles, engine-turned aluminium – also known as ‘engine spin’ it has indelible associations with Bentley sporting success. The dashboard of ‘Old Number One’ – the Speed Six that won two Le Mans 24 Hour races – is crafted from the same material. With such a pedigree it’s natural that I should choose this outstanding engine spin option for the fascia and consoles in Bright Aluminium and it perfectly complements the chrome radiator and lower chrome bumper grilles.

My Impression

Impression of driving a Bentley - the Tony Wraight way!!!

I purchased this very beautiful Bentley this year for its great looks and extreme rarity. Most certainly not for its performance or speed !

My average speed will be around 30-60mph. It can easily go to 200 MPH The 'boy racers' and other motorists overtaking me all the time give me very strange looks indeed.. It has ample space and is very comfortable, and maybe IF I ever read the numerous manuals, I will find out about all its features, and what all the buttons are for!

It drives perfectly and lots of useful features, like reversing camera, front camera, active cruse control etc. Lots of non essential features, like closing aids and massage seats- these just show me how beautifully engineered it is. One day I will figure out just how to play my old Abba Cd’s… its ipod and complicated sound, navigation and telephony features I will examine MUCH later …

Anyway, It looks good and drives well, and just maybe the sun may at last shine in England sometime this year to enable me to drive it with the hood down…

Happy motoring,

Tony Wraight
