It is a car that takes personalisation to a new level, where the vehicle is a canvas on which you can paint your vision. Its extended wheelbase translates into more interior space, offering two inches more in the front and a remarkable eight inches in the rear. The RL retains the classic Arnage profile whilst offering even more palatial comfort for all on board but, make no mistake, this is not an ocean liner, this is a car to drive in the fine tradition of generations of sporting saloons fronted by the ‘Flying B’. The turbocharged 6.75-litre V8 engine, harnessed by a creamy smooth automatic gearbox, makes this an experience impossible to miss. The Arnage RL gave its owners the opportunity to realise virtually anything imaginable - all designed and handcrafted by the most skilled automotive artisans in the world. These are people who understand not only the heritage of Bentley, but also the pleasures of luxury in a contemporary world. From fashioners of burnished Walnut and fine hides to the audio experts who can turn the interior of a Bentley into a concert hall. Just 328 orders for this very special motor car were accepted by the factory. This RL, featuring the very rare rear ‘opera’ window, was delivered new to a Mr Belcher, who first registered it in his company name on the 10/12/2002 and later transferred the car into his own name, which it still displays today. Meticulously maintained by the supplying dealer Park’s Bentley of Hamilton, now rebranded Bentley Glasgow. Presented to auction with a history file that includes the original service book, reams of receipts and the V5c in the first owner’s name.
