Crashed GTC smashes price record

Battered Bentley beats auction record with crash damage price.

23rd February 2008

This broken Bentley is also a record breaker! Although badly damaged, the Continental GTC (above) has beaten the previous best sale figure for the marque at salvage firm Bluecycle. It received 700 online bids for the cabrio, which had less than 300 miles on the clock when it came a cropper.

The model, which costs £130,500 new, beat its pre-sale estimate of £42,000 by nearly £25,000, with the successful bidder offering £67,520. Bluecycle (www.bluecycle.com) was the first company to rely solely on Internet auctions as a method of selling motor salvage and now it brings the virtual hammer down on more than 1,500 lots every week. Sales last for several days.
