1999 Bentley Arnage Red Label
Lot details
Registration No: NSU 501
Chassis No: SCBLC32ECH04154
MOT: 07 July 2022 Returning to the very venue it was purchased from through H&H Classics in June of 2019, NSU 501 is presented in Silver Tempest with contrasting Ascot leather interior with cedar carpets In June 2021 benefited from a full service at Bentley specialists Silverlady including a replacement radiator and brake pipes at a cost of £2,169. Cost a staggering £155,000 when new, and now offered at less than 10% of its original price.
The Arnage was phased in during the spring of 1998, initially with BMW power. However, Bentley then passed into the hands of the Volkswagen Group while Rolls-Royce was acquired by BMW, forcing Volkswagen to find an alternative engine for the Arnage. In fact they sourced two, creating the option of Red and Green Label models, with the Red Label featuring a Cosworth-built version of Bentley's stalwart single-turbo OHV 6.75-litre V8, complete with a stump-pulling 616 lb ft of torque.
Returning to the very venue it was purchased from through H&H Classics in June of 2019, NSU 501 is presented in Silver Tempest with contrasting Ascot leather interior with cedar carpets and is offered with a suitably comprehensive specification including GPS navigation system, an Alpine CD Changer/radio, Park distance control, special MPH/KPH speedometer, footrests, lambswool over-rugs, rear picnic tables and more. In June 2021, NSU 501 benefited from a full service at Bentley specialists Silverlady including a replacement radiator and brake pipes at a cost of £2,169.
The vehicle comes accompanied with a folder including the original backpacks, a collection of previous MOTs, invoices totalling over £13,500, the V5 document which displays just 5 former keepers, the full specification sheet and more. The odometer currently displays some 99,000 miles and the registration ‘NSU 501’ is also included as part of the sale. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and interior trim all as ‘Very Good.
Costing a staggering £155,000 when new, NSU 501 presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a luxury Bentley at less than 10% of its original price.
