The 2005 Bentley Flying Spur belongs to the first generation of the model and marks Bentley’s reintroduction as an independent luxury brand within the Volkswagen Group. It shares its platform with the Continental GT but features a four-door body with a more formal and practical design. The Flying Spur was positioned for those seeking the performance and comfort of the Continental line combined with additional seating and a traditional silhouette.
Debuting during Bentley’s resurgence in international visibility, the first-generation Flying Spur was produced from 2005 to 2013. It served as a key model, bridging Bentley’s handcrafted luxury heritage with modern chassis and powertrain technology introduced under Volkswagen ownership. The name Flying Spur is a historic Bentley designation, continuing the brand’s tradition of reusing classic model names for modern interpretations of luxury and performance cars.
This generation is related to the Continental GT but is distinguished by its four-door body and longer wheelbase, providing more interior space and different proportions. The design features a classic Bentley front end with a wide grille and an understated yet substantial appearance. It utilizes modern construction with shared technical features among Bentley and Volkswagen models of the time, resulting in a vehicle that balances prestigious luxury with a more dynamic character.
The car is in running condition, with the interior and exterior showing a few imperfections. A service booklet documenting past maintenance is included, which is often important for this model to record its usage and maintenance history.
The 2005 Bentley Flying Spur is a first-generation example of Bentley’s top-tier four-door model, marking an important chapter in the brand’s history.
