From the July 1998 test drive article from MotorTrend: “Designed to be “the world’s most exhilarating four-door driving experience,” the all-new Bentley Arnage is the first model in nearly 60 years with a powerplant uniquely developed for the marque, the first in Bentley’s 94-year history to have a body assembled “in-house” at the Crewe factory of parent company Rolls-Royce, and the last to be brought to market before Rolls and Bentley were bought by BMW.”

This Green Label was ordered new on 21^st of July 1998 through Euro Motors for Mr. Ken Adams of Richmond, VA.  The MSRP was about $205,000.  The Bentley was dispatched to the port boarding the “Sealand Atlantic” on the 27th of November and arrived at the port in New York on the 10th of December, 1998.  This Arnage Green Label spent most of its life in Rancho Mirage, CA.  The Bentley has been with its present owner in Arizona and was consistently serviced at the local Scottsdale Bentley dealership and had consistent service performed.

Its original Sunset Waterbase paint is nearly in showroom condition with only a few small imperfections.  The paint has gorgeous shine and luster and there has been no paint work or accidents in its history.  The 17-inch painted alloy wheels are as-new as well with newer Continental radials (2021).  This Bentley has the polished matrix grill vanes.  Overall, the exterior is in stunning original condition.

The interior is equally gorgeous in its Cotswold hide complimented by Autumn piping and Russett carpeting.  The leather is in excellent condition and is soft and supple throughout.  The burl walnut wood is beautiful original and features the special ordered Flying B’s applied to the four door cap rails.  In addition, the doors have the additional walnut trim added and the rear seats feature the picnic tables.  The gauges are beautiful with their ivory facia.  Overall, the interior is in stunning original condition.  The rear seats naturally recline and are very comfortable.  This Bentley comes complete with all of its original books and manuals, two sets of keys and fobs, build records, many service invoices and more.

The beauty of the Bentley Arnage Green Label is the BMW 4 ½ Liter twin-turbocharged V8 that was engineered by Cosworth Engineering with its double overhead 32-value engine and fitted to its BMW supplied five-speed automatic transmission and Adaptive Traction Control.  This produces about 350 horsepower and 420 ft lbs of torque, making for exhilarating performance.  Launching this 5,300 pound luxury car to 149 mph.

This Green Label was ordered new on 21^st of July 1998 through Larry Dimmit Cadillac in Port Everglades, FL for Mr. Richard Donner of Osprey, FL.  The MSRP was $205,812.  Mr. Donner enjoyed the Bentley from when he received it on the 21^st of July 1998 until he passed in 2000.  The second owner was Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ragel of Phoenix, AZ.  Mr. Ragel enjoyed the Bentley for 23 years having acquired it in January 2001 for $150,000 and owned it until April 2024.  He acquired the Bentley with over 13,000 miles and today it has just over 19,000 miles.  The Bentley was consistently serviced at the local Scottsdale Bentley dealerships and a major service was performed in February 2024 from a local specialist.

Its original Wildberry paint is nearly in showroom condition with only a few small imperfections which we highlight in the photo gallery on our website.  The paint has gorgeous shine and luster and there has been no paint work or accidents in its history.  The 17-inch painted alloy wheels are as-new as well.  As mentioned, this Bentley was specially ordered new with rare vertical grill vanes, which harkens back to the Derby Bentleys.  Overall, the exterior is in stunning original condition.

The interior is equally gorgeous in its Cotswold hide complimented by Wildberry piping and carpeting.  The leather is in excellent condition and nearly in showroom condition throughout, including the special-order shift knob in Cotswold hide.  The burl walnut wood is also nearly as new.  There is none of the common cracking due to excessive heat as this Bentley was kept in a conditioned garage.  The original sound system still works well, and the seats, mirror and other adjustment controls function well.  The gauges are beautiful with their ivory facia.  Overall, the interior is in stunning original condition.

The Bentley was ordered with its two Bentley umbrellas which are still retained in pristine trunk.  The rear seats naturally recline and are very comfortable.  This Bentley comes complete with all of its original books and manuals as well as a copy of its factory window, build records, many service invoices and more.  The most recent major service included all of the common suspension, brake and service issues, making this a reliable Bentley that can be immediately enjoyed.
