Harry's Thoughts
THE ESSENTIALS
PRICE REDUCED!! This 2004 Bentley Arnage T earned a National First Place at the 2021 RROC Annual Meeting and has been fastidiously maintained from new. This is one of the most highly optioned Arnage T’s ever ordered and is presented in a spectacular color combination. This is just one of 98 LHD Arnage Ts produced for the worldwide market in 2004.
This Arnage T is a multiple award winner. It earned Best in Show at the Southeast Region RROC meet as well as the National First Place at the 2021 RROC Annual Meeting in Lake George, NY. These are impressive wins that help certify the condition of this example.
Sold new through Bentley of Troy on July 28, 2004, this Bentley has a clean CARFAX that shows that it has been faithfully and regularly dealer serviced from new. From Michigan, this Arnage was in the care of RROC members in Louisiana and the Carolinas.
The livery is stunning in its Black Velvet (Paint Code 9560064) with its special Arnage T 19 inch two-piece five spoke polished alloy wheels. Black Velvet is a fabulous color that looks black in the shade and in the evening, but reveals a beautiful and subtle burgundy hue in the sunlight. The chrome matrix grill, black Bentley badges and oversized oval exhaust tips give a hint that this is not your normal Arnage. The exterior has all original factory paint that is in nearly showroom condition and is without dents or chips.
The interior is also in a rare color of Redwood leather with black leather accents. The seats have the diamond stitching that the Arnage Ts are known for, as well as the aluminum engine-turned accents throughout. The wood veneer was special ordered as ebony black, which looks fantastic contrasted against the aluminum trim. Black Bentley winged B’s are embroidered into the seats and the carpet black with black banding. The interior is in excellent condition today, the leather is soft and supple and without blemishes. The door cap rails were ordered to curve to the top of the doors and the rear passengers have seat heaters and the picnic tables are readily accessible. The rear seats also have a powered lumbar support and a wonderful reclining feature resembling a First Class experience on an airplane. Look closely at the door lock and inside door handles which have been specially knurled. The navigation screen can be operated by its remote and the systems have been upgraded and updated. If desired, the screen can also be converted for a backup camera. The pedals are drilled, reminiscent of Le Mans.
The Arnage T was the fastest production sedan of its time, with a top speed of 168 mph. Its venerable 6.75 liter twin-turbocharged V8 produces 450 hp with a massive 645 ft lbs of torque through its GM 4L80-E four-speed transmission. These are impressively fast and absolutely fun to drive.
Rare for an Arnage, this T was ordered with a sunroof and the very special and rare Bentley jeweled gas cap. In the trunk are the two Bentley umbrellas. Accompanying this Arnage T are both keys, the Bentley battery tender, full manuals and a full service history from the last several years. The recent maintenance receipts show that this has been fastidiously maintained. The radial tires, brakes and normal service items have all recently been replaced. As specified, this Arnage T retailed for about $250,000.
The NADA value is $54,400 for just a standard 2004 Bentley Arnage. This has been priced competitively for an exceptional example.
