Introduced in 2005, the Continental Flying Spur was Bentley's four-door version of the hugely successful Continental GT. It shared its platform and twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine with the coupe, offering similar supercar performance in a more practical sedan package. This model was a key part of Bentley's revitalization under Volkswagen Group ownership, blending traditional British craftsmanship with modern German engineering and technology.
Collectors and enthusiasts are drawn to the updated models from 2009 onward, which featured suspension and steering revisions for a better driving experience. The more powerful 'Speed' variants are particularly sought-after for their increased performance and specification. As the first-generation cars get older, their value is less about mileage and more about condition and documented service history. A cheap Flying Spur is often the most expensive one to own.
Buying Tips
- The air suspension is a known weak point. Check for sagging at any corner after the car has been parked, and listen for a constantly running compressor, which indicates a leak.
- The 6.0L W12 is complex. Look for evidence of regular oil changes and be aware that issues like vacuum leaks or failing coil packs can require significant labor to fix due to poor access.
- Verify that all electronics work as intended. Test the infotainment system, power seats, windows, soft-close doors, and parking sensors, as diagnosing and fixing control module issues can be costly.
- A complete and documented service history from a Bentley dealer or a recognized specialist is critical. Deferred maintenance on brakes, suspension, or engine services can quickly add up to thousands of dollars.
- Brakes are a massive expense. Check the condition of the large rotors and pads, and factor in the cost of replacement if they are near the end of their service life.
