Great find! Very under rated car on here, even if it is just a Bentley.

Thanks West! I saw a black one of those GTC SS models last summer. Unfortunately it was on the highway with dividers in the way. :(

I know that the V8 is a great engine. I just love the sound of a V12. This car looks beautiful no doubt. Make mine a GTC SuperSports.

Thanks Parker! He came out carrying a new caddy and keys to a golf cart. Wonder where he's gonna put it...

Looks like that special edition will be cheaper to get with those high miles then

Besides the exterior color and interior color combination unique to each edition, There is a small Le Mans Edition badge located just behind the front wheel just above the chrome side stripe.

How do you tell apart a Le Mans Edition from a regular continental?

The Le Mans Editions is for both the Continental & Mulsanne.

Each Le Mans is named after each driver that has won Bentley the 24 Hours of Le Mans races and I just noticed an error, there are actually 6 (not 5) different Le Mans Editions: John Duff, Dudley Benjafield, Woolf Barnato, Tim Birkin, Glen Kidston, & Guy Smith.

Don't forget the Mulsanne LeMans Edition that was revealed at Pebble Beach in 2013. Also, I looked it up and found that Glen Kidston and Guy Smith are both British racers. I know Bentley has a rich racing history, so is each LeMans Edition named after a different British racer?

Awesome find! Looks like either the Glen Kidston Le Mans Edition or Guy Smith Le Mans Edition.

Technially speaking, there were 5 separate Le Mans Editions (Total - 240 Le Mans Editions)
