Car of the Month - April 2008
Bentley Arnage, 1999, #XCH02582
Sports Saloon

This is a Bentley Arnage from a
fairly early stage of that particular model’s production run. But at a quick
glance there is hardly a chance to determine this is an early Bentley Arnage.
Due to an extensive package of modifications having been executed this car
obviously is different from what had been offered as series-standard
ex-factory. Though is needs to be explained that almost from the start of
this series a magnitude of extras could be specified by a discerning client
when ordering his or her car. But special 20" light alloy wheels like those
shown here had never found their way onto the list of extras offered by
Bentley. That can be said as regards the side air vents, too; such became an
option at some later stage and even standard on certain models from later
series – though in more moderate form. Worthy a note are quadruple exhaust
pipes and a wire mesh insert in the specially formed rear bumper.
