2006 Bentley Arnage R Blue Train Edition for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to present this 2006 Bentley Arnage R in the very special Blue Train Edition. This car has only 34,483 miles and is presented in Midnight Emerald Green with the main interior hides in Ochre and the secondary hides and carpet in Cognac. The car was delivered new to Bentley Beverly Hills and had a sticker price of $258,830. In addition to the Arnages comprehensive standard equipment, this car has nearly $40K in extra options including the Blue Train package, small rear window, massage front seats for driver and passenger, and veneered picnic tables. Recent upgrades on this car include Satellite Radio, Backup camera system with the monitor in the rear view mirror, and a complete exterior ceramic coating. The complete original build sheet is available on request.
This is one of just thirty-six Blue Train Edition cars and it was awarded First in Class at the 2017 Rolls Royce Owners Club national meet in French Lick, Indiana.
The Arnage R was developed to be more sporting than the Arnage T. With a 0-60 time of 5.8 seconds, the Arnage R was claimed to be the fastest production saloon in the world at its launch. The Arnage R has a 6,750 cc twin-turbo V8 rated at 450bhp and 645 lb ft of torque. It has the GM 4L80-E four-speed automatic gearbox. The technical components were re-engineered by Volkswagen featuring double wishbone suspension, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), and more. Give it the boot in the sport mode and it feels like the afterburners kicking in on an F-18!
The Legend: On Thursday the 13th of March in 1930, at 6 p.m., Woolf Barnato, Chairman of Bentley Motors, and his secretary, Dale Bourne, left the Carlton Bar in Cannes, and got into Barnatos Speed Six Bentley to see if they could get to London before the famous Blue Train. Driving through the night, they reached Boulogne at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, catching the 11:35 boat to Folkestone. Arriving there just after 1 p.m., they reached the Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall at 3:30, 15 minutes before the Blue Train pulled into Calais. Of the 786-mile drive, Barnato said later that Any woman could have done the same thing without discomfort, and indeed they probably could, in a Speed Six Bentley.
Blue Train History: The Bentley Arnage R Blue Train is a special edition of the Bentley Arnage R from model year 2006. A limited number of 30 cars was planned and finally 36 copies were built. After the production of 30 LHD cars a further batch of 6 RHD cars were built. Most of the Blue Trains were sold in the USA. The Bentley Arnage T Blue Train pays a special tribute to the 'Blue Train' Bentley Speed Six. The one source says that the Blue Train Edition Arnage was built to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Victory at Le Mans by driver Woolf Barnato. The other source says that the Arnage Blue Train was made to commemorate the legendary trip from Cannes to London in which the Bentley Speed Six Saloon bested the time set by the renowned "Blue Train". At the launch of the Bentley Arnage R Blue Train the first model in the series joined the original 'Blue Train' Speed Six, now owned by Bentley enthusiasts Bruce and Jolene McCaw, along with other historically significant Bentley cars in a 75th Anniversary tour from Cannes to London, following Barnato's original route. Participants enjoyed a more leisurly approach to the journey than that taken by Woolf Barnato, with attractions such as wine-tasting, overnight stops and gastronomic meals at chateaux and route.
General characteristics: 19-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels, Sunroof, Chrome radiator shell, Chrome mirror caps, Quad-exhaust tailpipes, Arnage Blue Train Series front and rear bumpers, Stainless steel matrix mesh to the front bumper cooling ducts. In homage to the slatted bonnet of the original 'Blue Train' Bentley Speed Six, Bentley's design team has specified vertical slatted vents, painted in body colour, behind the trailing edge of the front wheel arches, Black winged 'B', Blue Train badging on the front wing and door aperture treadplates, A 'privacy' rear backlight may be specified, as a feature which echoes the coachwork of Barnato's 1930s coup, The instrument and dial faces are black, Wood and blue leather wrapped multi-function steering wheel.The centre console features a Bentley Blue Train badge.Veneer waistrails featuring chrome inlay with winged 'B' badges. 'Blue Train' embroidered headrests, in a coordinating thread colour. Picnic Tables on Backs of Front Seats. Additional wood veneer panels on the doors. Contrast piping on the seats.
