To celebrate 10 years of the Arnage in 2009, Bentley Motors launched the Arnage Final Series. This model featured a unique specification, with the performance of the 500 bhp Arnage T and the refinement of the Arnage R and design elements from the Bentley Brooklands Coupe. This was to be the final hurrah to what is one of the best Bentleys that has been made. The ultimate expression of British luxury and effortless power in a four-door saloon – the Grand Finale.

The additional features that were added to this edition were a lot of the popular options from the Arnage range, together with a few unique features. The Brooklands 20″ five-spoke, two-piece alloy wheels come as standard, unique Final Edition treadplates and wing badges. Special dark-tinted matrix grills for the front, together with painted headlamp bezels.

The interior is where the real treats are. Starting with a rear cocktail cabinet, picnic tables, a Final Series stainless steel flask with shot glasses, and a brace of Bentley umbrellas fitted in the boot. Quilted interiors and special headlining also add to the drama. The only real option was a NIAM sound system upgrade.  You could also go down the Mulliner route and specify it as you wish. One of the UK cars did just that. Finished in Burnt Oak Metallic with Burnt Oak leather. This is the only one of the cars in said spec; it even had its own VIN number. It also comes with its build book.

The Wonderful Interior of the Arnage Final Series…

This Edition was Limited to 150 cars, although, like a lot of the Bentley editions, that was the maximum number. The actual number produced was just 96 cars. Only 27 RHD cars, 3 being export RHD cars, With only 24 being UK RHD cars. So a lot rarer than most people realise. Although one of the UK cars was issued with its own VIN number, which isn’t on the list of original VIN numbers, so it is possible there are 25 UK cars in total.

Now, the Arnage is a rare car in the UK if it’s registered in 2009 or 2010. About 25 were registered in 2009 of the Arnage T., with only 11 of any other format, R or RL.

This Burnt Oak car is currently for sale (April 2025) with just 10k on it. View it here: https://www.stevelane-cars.co.uk/used-bentley-arnage-solihull-west-midlands-6910842
