This month, Bentley Motors has announced that scale models of the New Continental GT are now available in a variety of sizes through the Bentley Collection.
The Bentley Continental GT is the crowning achievement of Bentley’s modern design portfolio and is now reimagined as an intricately detailed model replica. Meticulous attention to detail and thousands of hours of work go into crafting the exquisite models, available in a number of scales from the remarkable 1:8 collectors piece to the detailed 1:43 and miniature 1:64 models.
The 1:8 scale Continental GT Bespoke Model allows customers to commission their own unique replica car in the perfect size to proudly display at home, as part of a collection or in the office. This could match the car in their driveway or the future car of their dreams, thanks to a suite of customisable options, from mock veneers and carpets to seat quilting and fluting. The bespoke model is available at £6,995.
To ensure complete accuracy, the 1:8 models are developed under the close supervision of the Bentley Design Studio from the moment of order to final delivery. Each exquisite, made-to-order model is painstakingly replicated to mirror the details of the full-size Continental GT. More than 1,000 tiny, individual pieces are used to hand-build this collector’s piece, taking about 300 hours in total.
The Continental GT Coupe Model Collection
The Bentley Continental range was born in 2003 and has famously redefined the category and capabilities of grand touring. The Continental GT is known for phenomenal performance, exquisite craftsmanship and elegant design. The models in the miniature collection mimic the sporty design and sleek silhouette of the third generation coupe, designed in 2018, which remains one of Bentley’s most popular cars globally.
Each of the models can be purchased from Bentley Retailers or via shop.BentleyMotors.com.
Collecting crafted, scaled down car models is a wonderful way to own and enjoy a piece of automotive history. To discuss your collection’s value, care and management with a specialist, please contact Imran Moideen imran.moideen@smithgreenfield.co.uk or telephone 020 8603 3730.
