Introduced at the New York Motor Show in April 2006, the Bentley Continental GT Convertible (or GTC) benefited from generally being considered affordable, even though it wasn't really, and proved an immediate sales success. The Convertible utilised the same smooth, powerful, twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 engine as the GT Coupé. Electro-hydraulically operated, the luxuriously padded fabric roof stowed away, neatly revealing an interior of peerless refinement. The GTC was the first open-topped Bentley since the Le Mans-winning cars of the 1930s that could be considered a sports car. The engineering skills and vast budget of Bentley’s parent company had produced a car that was uniquely nimble and luxurious at the same time, with seamless power constantly on tap. With a 0-62mph time of 5.1-seconds, the GTC was the only car in its class that was as fast as it was comfortable. 

The second generation of the Continental GTC was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 2011, cosmetically enhanced, with increased engineering upgrades to the suspension, electronics and engine management. As is normal with luxury British cars most were produced in darker colours and very few were commissioned with bespoke paint, however, very rarely can a GTC be found in a specification of one of the world's most famous purveyors of jewellery and luxury goods. The first 'Tiffany Bentley' was commissioned, perhaps naturally, by Bentley of Beverly Hills, whilst this one-of-one example was commissioned for a British buyer in 2013. Finished, naturally, in the company's distinctive Celeste Blue Pearlescent, the quality of the Linen Leather/Beluga Black interior can be appreciated from our images.

The accompanying history file includes the Bentley embossed owners handbook, previous MOT Certificates and the most recent servicing and health check paperwork from Bentley Bristol. The V5C will be joined by a freshly issued MOT for the auction. Your inspection is welcomed to fully appreciate the car's excellent condition, stunning colour combination and ultra low-mileage.
