Bentley revived the Continental nameplate in 1984 as a moniker steeped in company heritage earned in the 1950s and 1960s. At a time when the histories of the Bentley and Rolls-Royce marques were intertwined, cars from the brands often shared a common platform. For the 1991 model year, reflective of chassis 30561 offered here, the Continental Convertible was in essence a Bentley-badged Rolls-Royce Corniche III.

As is noted in the accompanying build sheets and order forms (available to view on file), the Bentley Continental was ordered for delivery to supplying dealer Auto Bang of Copenhagen. The Bentley was specified in special order King of Denmark Blue paint over a Beige mohair hood with a Magnolia leather interior. The car benefitted from optional extras including a tinted Sundym windscreen, Bentley and Continental boot badges, and a chrome-finished radiator grille surround. Its order forms note its arrival in Copenhagen in July 1991.

Remarkably, almost 35 years later, the Bentley has not been driven since. Its odometer indicates just 131 shakedown kilometres at the time of cataloguing. Protective packaging from the factory remains stuck to the steering wheel and sills, while the Bentley retains its matching-numbers 6.75-litre engine. Owing to its lack of use in careful storage, bidders are encouraged to perform a mechanical inspection and service prior to driving the car. Needless to say, the opportunity to acquire such an attractive time warp luxury drop-top will not come around again soon.
