I have had some comments or rather questions on service for this vehicle. I thought I would add some more context: In the video I mention two oil changes in 2 years of ownership. The tech I use is an ex Bentley mechanic who was trained during Arnage’s life. When he first saw my car his comment was, this thing is absolutely new underneath. When I got the car 2.5 years ago it had just had spheres, rear shocks, a window regulator, and a full major with all fluids including a trans filter and fluid. When I got the car I did do some cosmetic updates including polishing the light covers and wrapping them in Xpel so they stay clear, I also had the suroof panel painted as it had some of the common edge corrosion so common on these webasto roof seals. I don’t intend to follow Bentley’s superfluous service but rather the service I do for each of my collectibles, annual oil change, annual inspection, tri annual brake fluid and transmission fluid. The cars are kept on CTEK chargers but I would say with large spans between use I would expect a battery (or in this case 2) every 4-5 years. I also plan to replace the tires on this as they are expired by date code but have over 70% tread remaining. Hope that sheds some more light on maintenance! Cheers!

The real reason to buy over Mercedes is exclusivity and Longterm build quality. If you can afford the intermediate cost you will have a World class motor car for decades! I had a Aunt who had a Arnage and it took care of her with zero issues for 15 years!!!

Tim, your love for the Arnage is mesmerizing. I, like you, was fearful until made the jump this past March of my 2000 Arnage with 43798 miles at the time. Thanks for your videos.

Fine, fine, fine, already at the beginning, your asthaetical approch is fantastic. You dive into the soft skills of the Arnages Magic. I like the way you describe the relation and joy of driving it. Especially your emotionally relaxed way of bringing this last british Monument to enthusiasts and potential owners. Go on like this. Gentlemen start your Engines

Merry Christmas, Tim. Watching your videos is the perfect way to start the day!

Sir, you presented the car with some Royal music to go with too. Simply majestic. Love big cars. ❤

A beautiful documentary impeccably scored ❤

Had mine for just over 5 years now. Still love it. Handles great, plenty of power, very comfortable. The shape is wonderful. I think the pre facelift are looking better than than the facelift at the moment. If people don’t like the ride I would suggest they add new tyres and get the suspension looked at. Cause a well looked after Arnage should handle well. I wish the seats were a little more supportive, better lumbar support otherwise it’s great. Average 16mpg and average £1000 per year servicing, tyres, brakes may take you to 1500. I have a local specialist RR and Bentley garage. They do recommend having the radiator redone after a certain age. Mine has featured in RR and Bentley drivers magazine twice now. If your thinking of getting one. Just do it. Get a reputable garage to do an independent survey on it before purchase and check it history. Service history is everything. Some have been poorly serviced and should be avoided. If it’s cheap it’s cheap for a reason. 20-25k will buy a really good one now. Sub 20k you need to question why? Do your homework. A low miler isn’t always better than a well used car that’s had everything done and used regularly.

That is a lovely example of a Bentley Arnage. The wheels are in particular, very nice.

Excellent review, and thanks for your assessment 👍

You are sooooooo correct Tim. What emotions does it evoke when you see it. I had a Lincoln LS that did this for me. An Arnage would be that on steroids! One day I will have one. Nice presentation as always Tim. I also like the Brooklands.

Beautiful ride like always... Bentley 👍 Beverly Hills California

Amazing insider knowledge content……thank you Sir !!

The shot of you chewing some bubble tea made me audibly chuckle. Great video.

Hi Tim. I really enjoyed watching your review. I like how you told us why you chose to buy one and how each person has to choose for themselves, why they want to buy one. It was a nice easy relaxing watch with plenty of useful information . I will probably never buy one, but it makes me happy to think that maybe one day, I possibly might, but I will always admire them. I always been a saloon car guy, it puts me in the minority I know. It makes me sad that there are so few of them made and how many interesting saloons have disappeared, because everybody wants to sit up high in a ‘let’s pretend SUV ‘. I would never have imagined 20 years ago or even less, that Rolls-Royce and Bentley and Ferrari and Lamborghini would build SUVs. Just to sit 10 inches so higher people sacrifice so much. The extra weight, the extra money, the compromised handling and most of all the elegance. I was driving with a friend a few months ago and he saw a friend of his and asked could we give him a lift . I said sure no problem and we pulled over. This guy had never sat in a four door saloon car before. Only hatchbacks and let’s pretend SUVs. Sign of the times. From Chris in Old England.

This is an art work. I don't want to project wealth. I want to be enclosed in this utter perfection in motion. The screens and modern tech are right there on your phone. It is not special. Being in this car is an experience for YOU.

Love your video. I am waiting a couple more years till I get mine in Europe. It's the best looking car anyone can buy for under $100K and still commands respect to this day. This is my childhood poster car and the day when I own my own cannot come soon enough : )

Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, nice choice! I played #4 for my Silver Seraph's inaugural drive.

I like that Bentley Arnage exactly the way it is. Original. This is one of my favorite Bentleys from the early 2000's.

Solid video. I've been looking on and off for one with the 4.4.

Nice video. Any updates on the Lotus Esprit 😁love the Esprit from Sal in the UK

Well done video ! Just seen your channel

Nice review

I was fearful of owning a Mercedes S500 (W140), until I bought one, and it has been quite reliable and not expensive to own. Like you, I love the pre-facelift Arnages and would love to find a good one, but I have to wonder if my fear of owning the Arnage is a bit over exaggerated in my mind, as was the case with my W140.

Great information! Two questions. What are the years of the single turbo 6.75 L cars and what years, if any, we're the twin turbo cars cam issues corrected?

Thank you very much for this review, it's my all time favorite car and when I say that, I mean Bentley Arnage Red Label, single turbo, the first couple of years of production, just as the car that you prefer and presented here. Regarding the exterior color, it should be black and the interior should be done in darker brown wood and darker brown leather, I especially like the egg shell colored gauges, the car is so perfect and unique, those who were fortunate enough to buy it new, experienced the car in all its glory. For us who were teenagers back then, buying a used one after twenty years, it's not the best choice, especially if the car is not maintained very well, so the whole experience of purchasing and owning the car becomes repulsing, given the treatment the cars had by their secondary owners. Whoever wants to own this car or any car from the past decades, should either buy it from the original owner who has taken care of it pretty well or buy a new car after considering all the aspects of the car that will suit the individual preferences most perfectly (quality, reliability, style and particularly the image that comes with it, because people tend to put you in the box with some, let's say shallow group of drivers, so you have to be very careful of what you are portraying as an owner, but if you really like the car, screw it, buy it anyway and enjoy it, because it's you and you have enough confidence to know who you are regardless of what some people may think).

Spot on 👑

I feel more classy just watching one drive by.

The Thomas Crown Bentley the remake that is the original Thomas drove a Rolls-Royce Corniche.

I appreciate how you dress up for the occasion, I hate it when someone drives a Bentley but they're dressed like a homeless person

yes

My favorite car in the world

I'm currently daily driving a 96 Bentley Conti R, curious if you have ever driven the earlier models at all? I'm thinking of moving to an Arnage and interested in the differences.

great review. never liked the rear or the high seating position of these, same with Spirits. I saw a Blue Train edition, that almost changed my mind - beautiful spec, thanks

Hi from Canada, Tim! I'm not in any position to buy an old beater let alone a fine ultraluxury piece like a Bentley Arnage. However, I do aspire to own an ultraluxury car someday even if only briefly. The Rolls Royce Silver Seraph is the sibling to the Bentley Arnage so my questions are these: Which one of these is easier to maintain? Which one is a more comfortable ride? Which one of these cars feels better to drive? Is the superior performance of the Arnage enough make it a consideration over the Silver Seraph? When I have my license and am financially secure enough, I'd like to daily drive one of these or at the very least drive it on the weekends. I may even switch between one of these and a sports car of some sort. I'd just like to know which one would be a better fit for an aspiring ultraluxury owner.

I enjoyed your video I’m in the process of looking at a 2002 Has 57,000 miles I did a Carfax no accidents has OK service records blue in color with cream interior 6.75 engine what’s your thought

Hi Tim Are there any news on your green lotus? Klaus

I’m the owner of a Bentley Arnage. I’m enthusiast of this Car!

Looking at a 2007 Arnage t; anything I should check for?

Im in sothern california and my arnage is sitting in the shop due to the fact that the mechanic is saying he cant locate the parts. What would you do in my situation? Anyone you can recommend?

I'm shopping for a car. Sorry, but I want to know the mechanics, the engine type, the transmission, the chassis. I do not want gushing over the stitching and the smell of the leather. It is not a horse. Horses make messes. I want to know if the car will. What year is the car displayed? is it the V8 or V12 or W12? Can you still get parts for that year? Where do you take it for maintenance?

Where would you go to fix a cracked wood interior?

What is the difference between a green label and a red label????

Muscular Elegance.

Jesus Christ this car was not intended for hoi palloi like me who have complaints about fuel economy and repair. I hope to repair that fault regarding my impecuniosity.

On my 10th Turbo R - a real Bentley. Classy, powerful and over engineered. BMW and Volkswagen really ruined Bentley.
