Bentley Continental Flying Spur

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.

The market for the Continental Flying Spur is defined by steep depreciation, which makes it an incredible luxury and performance value. With over 175 sales tracked, the average price sits around $53,000, but early, higher-mileage examples can be found for less than $20,000. This affordability makes them tempting, but they are not inexpensive cars to own. Maintenance and repair costs remain consistent with the car's original six-figure price tag, creating a wide market spread between neglected cars and pristine, well-serviced examples.

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.

Prices range from under $13,000 for early, high-mileage cars to over $260,000 for late-model, low-mileage special editions.
