Beautiful! Love that color and the wheels look sharp. Tell us more about it and show us the interior.

Wow, looks like new! My first one was an '09... hurricane Ian got it with floodwaters. PRO TIP: If you haven't already, ask your insurance agent about insuring it for an "agreed value" rather then the standard "actual cash value (ACV)" which won't consider the great condition it's in. I had 2 cars with unappraised agreed values which got me twice the ACV on the CGT when the flood totalled them. The additional premium for both was $1350 per year and I received over $60K in additional compensation. The '09 CGT's ACV was just over $40K in 2022 and I received just over $81K. If the car is in exceptional condition it may be worth having appraised to see if you can get an even higher value.

You couldn't ask for a more perfect combination of engine size, wheels, color and interior condition.
Totally agree with Bruce, insure it for an agreed upon upper price. I have an agreed upon replacement cost of $20K over my purchase price.
How does "she" drive....or is it a "he?"
Enjoy!

In our house the GT is "Mr. B" and my wife's Bentayga is "Mrs. B" but nowadays it's best not to make assumptions.

Very true, I have it insured for Agreed value, as all my special cars- only costs me $700/year. It's insured for 20k over purchase price.

I'll find out Saturday when it's delivered!! Such a LONGGGGGGGG Wait!! I had an 05 GT and can't wait to get back into a Bentley, but I wanted to get one that wasn't White, Black, or Grey/Silver- just too many of that color, altho my Granite/Fireloom was a quite pretty car, but doesn't hold a candle to this one! This is my 3rd car with this color, or very similar, and I just LOVE IT! Ina perfect world it would have a Chocolate brown interior but can't be choosy when buying used and you rarely find a Orange Bentley Speed unless you are buying way newer cars. This is a Corvette I built that is now seen in London at times. As you can see I like Orange.
