2005 Bentley Flying Spur - ONLINE AUCTION

History and Background

The 2005 Bentley Flying Spur belongs to the first generation of the Flying Spur and marks Bentley’s reintroduction as an independently launched luxury brand within the Volkswagen Group. The model shares its platform with the Continental GT but features a four-door body with a distinctly more formal and practical design. The Bentley Flying Spur was positioned as a car for those who wanted to combine the performance and comfort of the Continental line with additional seating and a more traditional silhouette.

The Bentley Flying Spur debuted at a time when Bentley was regaining international visibility. Production of the first generation ran from 2005 to 2013, after which a successor model was introduced with further refinements in technology and finish. Within Bentley’s lineup, the Flying Spur was a key model because it bridged the gap between the brand’s DNA of handcrafted luxury and the modern chassis and powertrain technology introduced under Volkswagen ownership. As a result, the Bentley Flying Spur became a staple in the segment of fast, luxurious four-door sedans.

The name “Flying Spur” refers to a historic Bentley designation that had appeared earlier in the brand’s history. In this way, the Bentley Flying Spur continues Bentley’s long tradition of reusing existing model names for modern interpretations of classic luxury and performance cars. In the market, the model was seen as an alternative to other top-class sedans, emphasizing a combination of substantial build quality, long-distance capability, and a distinct Bentley identity.

Features and Distinguishing Characteristics

This generation of the Bentley Flying Spur is technically related to the Continental GT but is distinguished by its four-door body and longer wheelbase. This gave the model more interior space and different proportions than the coupe model on which its technology was largely based. The design of the Bentley Flying Spur is recognizable by its classic Bentley front end, wide grille, and understated yet substantial appearance, which was characteristic of the brand during this period.

The first-generation Flying Spur utilized a modern construction with many shared technical features across the top-of-the-line Bentley and Volkswagen models of the time. In practice, this resulted in a car that looks traditional yet is modern in design. The 2005 Bentley Flying Spur also stands out for its balance between prestigious luxury and the more dynamic character that Bentley began to emphasize more strongly during those years.

The included service booklet, documenting past maintenance, is the type of documentation that is often important for this model in order to establish its usage and maintenance history. The car is in running condition. The interior and exterior generally look neat.

Summary

The 2005 Bentley Flying Spur is a first-generation example of Bentley’s top-of-the-line four-door model, marking a significant chapter in the brand’s renewed history from the early 2000s. The combination of model history, available maintenance documentation, and roadworthy condition makes this one of the earliest examples of the Flying Spur. The interior and exterior are generally in good condition. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend that you attend the viewing day.
