Perfect Auto Collection Signature Listing 2021 Bentley Flying Spur W12 VIN SCBBB6ZG2MC089860 | 40,284 miles Black over black, down to the mascot on the bonnet. Then a door opens onto Magnolia and the car explains itself. Why We Acquired This Vehicle There is a version of the Flying Spur that arrives as chrome and ceremony, and a version that arrives as a shadow. This is the second one. The hardware underneath is unchanged - a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 producing 626 horsepower, all-wheel drive, an eight-speed dual-clutch - but the presentation is contemporary rather than traditional, and Bentley only builds a car this way when it is asked to. This example arrived with its original Monroney label, which is how we know exactly how it was ordered rather than having to guess. It left Crewe at a delivered price of $317,220 against a $221,000 base, with the exterior finish, the veneer, the audio, and the smallest cabin details all specified rather than left standard. The verified appointments are detailed in full below. It is finished in Onyx over Magnolia, which is the whole tension of the car: one of the darkest exteriors Bentley offers opening onto one of its lightest interiors. At 40,284 miles it has been driven the way a grand tourer is supposed to be driven, and looked after while it was.

We ask a simpler question: does it read as though someone had a clear idea before they started, and would we be proud to keep it in our own collection? This Flying Spur answered quickly. Most heavily optioned cars are a collection of individually good decisions; this one is a single decision carried from the grille to the floor mats. The dark exterior and the pale, single-veneer cabin are clearly the same thought, and the factory documentation shows it was ordered that way at build rather than assembled after the fact. Why Enthusiasts Value This Model The third-generation Flying Spur, launched for 2020, is the most convincing version of the argument the model has always made. It shares its architecture with the Continental GT rather than adapting a sedan from elsewhere, and with all-wheel steering and the 48-volt Dynamic Ride active anti-roll system it makes a car of this length behave like something considerably shorter without hardening what it feels like inside. Informed buyers are drawn to the combination: 626 horsepower delivered without noise or effort, a cabin built largely by hand in Crewe, and the ability to cross several states in a day and step out unhurried. Bentley ended W12 production in 2024 after more than two decades. The number of twelve-cylinder Flying Spurs that exist is now fixed. What buyers are looking for among them is specific: a specification with real depth rather than a handful of boxes ticked, a color combination that was clearly chosen rather than accepted, and original factory documentation that proves how a car was ordered rather than how it is described. That is why a car's options matter - they are the difference between a listing that claims a car is special and one that can show it. Factory and Vehicle Highlights First Edition Specification The First Edition specification is the largest single line on this car's window sticker, at $50,535. Why it matters: An order of that scale is placed once, at build, and there is no version of it that can be added later - it is most of the distance between the $221,000 this car starts at and the $317,220 it left the factory costing. Mulliner Driving Specification with Alternative Wheel Mulliner is Bentley's own coachbuilding and personalization house, and its Driving Specification is that division's signature treatment of the car, taken here with the alternative wheel, at $13,570. Why it matters: Mulliner's involvement is recorded on the factory paperwork rather than claimed afterward, which makes it one of the few things about a used Bentley that a later owner cannot buy their way into. Flying Spur Blackline Specification The Blackline specification replaces the car's exterior brightwork with gloss black, at $4,785. Why it matters: With the chrome gone, the grille, the window surrounds, and the badging stop reading as separate jewelry and become one continuous surface - the shape has to carry the car on its own, which is exactly why this specification looks so different parked next to a standard one. Black Gloss Illuminated Flying B Radiator Mascot The illuminated Flying B rises from the bonnet and retracts out of sight, specified here in black gloss rather than the traditional chrome, at $4,910. Why it matters: The mascot is the oldest piece of ceremony Bentley still builds, and ordering it in black rather than chrome is the detail that proves the exterior was conceived as one idea rather than assembled box by box. Bang & Olufsen for Bentley The Bang & Olufsen for Bentley system replaces the standard factory audio installation, at $7,140. Why it matters: In most cars the road sets the ceiling on what you can hear; in a Flying Spur the hardware does, because there is almost nothing to compete with - which is why upgrading the system here returns far more than the same money would elsewhere. Touring Specification The Touring Specification collects Bentley's long-distance driver-assistance technology into a single factory-ordered package. Why it matters: This car is built for the kind of day that ends several states from where it started, and this is the equipment that makes the fifth hour feel like the first. Panoramic Glass Tilt & Slide Sunroof with Twin Blinds A panoramic glass roof with tilt and slide operation, backed by twin powered blinds. Why it matters: A pale interior only works if it gets light, and the glass roof is what feeds it - then the blinds close and the same cabin becomes completely private, which is the point in a car often used with someone in the back. Bentley Rotating Display The center of the dashboard rotates between a plain veneer panel, the touchscreen, and a set of three analog dials. Why it matters: It is the only system of its kind that lets the screen vanish entirely, and in a cabin finished in one veneer throughout, an unbroken run of wood across the dashboard is exactly what the specification was built to achieve. Liquid Amber Single Finish The cabin veneer is Liquid Amber, specified as a single finish throughout rather than mixed, at $2,190. Why it matters: A single finish is the harder order to fill, because every panel in the car then has to match every other one - it is what makes a pale interior read as one continuous room instead of a set of separately trimmed parts. Diamond Knurling The metal controls and switchgear carry Bentley's diamond knurled finish, at $2,960. Why it matters: Knurling is felt before it is seen - every dial in the car has texture under the fingertips, which is the kind of detail that stops registering as luxury and starts registering as normal somewhere around the thousandth use. Duo Tone 3 Spoke Indented Hide Trimmed Heated Steering Wheel The three-spoke wheel is trimmed in indented hide in two tones, and heated. Why it matters: It is the one component in contact with the driver for every mile of every journey, and specifying it in two tones ties the wheel to both halves of a cabin built on contrast rather than picking a side. Refrigerated Bottle Cooler A refrigerated cooler for bottles is built into the cabin, at $2,440. Why it matters: It is a rear-cabin provision, and its presence tells you the person writing the original order expected to spend time in the back of this car as well as the front. Wheels: 21-Inch 10 Twin Spoke Dark Gray Painted Twenty-one-inch ten-twin-spoke wheels in a dark gray painted finish, at $1,935. Why it matters: A polished or bright wheel would have interrupted a car specified this way; the dark finish keeps the wheels reading as part of the body, and the diameter is what fills the arches on something this long. Standard Brakes with Red Painted Calipers The brake calipers are finished in red, at $1,690. Why it matters: On a car where every other exterior detail was ordered dark, the calipers are the only color on the outside of it - one deliberate flash behind the spokes, and the more effective for being alone. Mood Lighting Specification Configurable ambient lighting is fitted through the cabin. Why it matters: Pale hide takes ambient light in a way a dark interior never can - the surfaces here are light enough to actually hold the color, so after dark the setting chosen sets the tone of the entire room. LED Welcome Lamps by Mulliner Mulliner welcome lamps cast light onto the ground beneath the doors as they open. Why it matters: On a car finished this dark, the pool of light under the door is the first thing anyone sees of it at night - the car introduces itself a moment before the interior does. Welcome Lighting The car runs a lighting sequence as it is approached and unlocked. Why it matters: It finds the car for you across a dark garage, which an Onyx sedan genuinely needs, and it means the vehicle has acknowledged its owner before a hand reaches the handle. Sports Pedals Alloy sports pedals replace the standard rubber-faced set. Why it matters: They are the only part of the interior that admits what the car is capable of - a small piece of visible machinery in a room otherwise built to conceal effort entirely. Air Ionizer An ionizer conditions the air inside the cabin, at $345. Why it matters: Once the doors close on a Flying Spur the cabin is effectively sealed from the outside, and this is the option that treats the air in that sealed room as part of the interior rather than as something that merely happens to be in it. Inductive Phone Charger A wireless charging pad is built into the console, at $385. Why it matters: It is the least glamorous line on the sticker and among the most used - in a console finished in veneer and knurled metal, it is what keeps a charging cable out of sight. Front & Rear Deep Pile Overmats Deep pile overmats are fitted front and rear above the standard carpet, at $610. Why it matters: They absorb the wear the fitted carpet underneath would otherwise take, which matters more in a light interior than a dark one, because the floor is where a pale cabin shows its age first. 6.0-Liter Twin-Turbocharged W12 Bentley's 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 produces 626 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, carrying the Flying Spur to 60 mph in roughly 3.7 seconds and on to 207 mph. Why it matters: Bentley assembled the W12 by hand in Crewe for more than twenty years and ended its production in 2024 - the torque arrives so early and so completely that speed feels like a decision rather than an effort, and no Bentley built from here on will do it this way. 8-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission An eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles the W12's output, with paddle control on the column. Why it matters: A dual-clutch is chosen here for seamlessness rather than aggression - the measure of it is that a passenger in the back should never be able to tell a gear has changed, and they cannot. All-Wheel Drive Drive is sent to all four wheels through Bentley's full-time all-wheel-drive system. Why it matters: It is what makes 626 horsepower usable in November, and the reason this is a twelve-cylinder car that gets driven in the months when most others are sitting under covers. Behind the Wheel At town speed the Flying Spur disguises its size completely. The W12 is barely present, the air suspension takes the road surface out of the conversation, and the steering is light and precise enough that the car seems to shrink around the driver. Ask for everything and the delivery is the surprise. There is no crescendo and no theater - one enormous, continuous push, and a cabin no louder at the end of it than at the beginning. Speed in this car is something you read off the dial rather than something you hear. For the right owner, this is not simply a fast sedan. It is the one built for the driver who wants a car that looks like night from the outside and opens onto daylight, and refuses to give up either.
