Now available for auction is this rare 2013 Bentley Continental GT Le Mans Edition “Glen Kidston”. This Continental GT is marked as #47/48 examples built exclusively for the North American Market to commemorate Bentley’s 6 victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Correspondingly, this special edition model was offered in 6 different configurations with each inspired by a racing driver who took first place in a Bentley. Representing the 5th Le Mans win in 1930, this “Glen Kidston” version is finished in Dark Sapphire over a two-tone Newmarket Tan and Imperial Blue leather interior. It showcases unique details including a numbered placard, Le Mans badges on the headrests and sill plates, a special clockface, and limited-edition 21” wheels. Currently showing only 18k miles on the odometer, this highly collectible Bentley is now being offered for auction by its seller in Ohio.
This Glen Kidston version sports a Dark Sapphire exterior finish. The paint is said to be in pristine condition throughout with clear 3M protection film installed over the entire front end, A-pillars, mirror covers, and lower rear fender flares (detailed images are provided in the photo gallery). A ceramic coating is also said to have been applied within the last year. Details unique to this rare model include a Le Mans Edition wing badge and special 21” Seven Spoke Elegant alloy wheels finished in black. This example also features the Extended Driving Specification option which adds a bright chromed lower bumper matrix.
The cabin of the Glen Kidston version is appointed in a beautiful combination of Newmarket Tan and Imperial Blue leather with contrast stitching. Special Le Mans Edition features include front and rear headrest embroideries, door sill logos, model-specific Dark Burr Walnut and dark turned aluminum veneers, and a special Breitling clockface. A numbered placard reading “47 of 48” is also affixed to the removable matching wood sunglass case in the center console. The optional Extended Driving Specification adds deep pile carpet floor mats, a rear-view camera, and heated and ventilated front seats with a massage function. The interior is said to be in immaculate condition and an image of the original $218,580 window sticker can be seen in the photo gallery.
This second-generation Continental GT carries a 6.0 L twin-turbocharged W12 engine capable of producing 567 HP and 516 lb.-ft of torque. All four wheels are driven through a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission with Quickshift and steering column-mounted gearshift paddles allowing for a 0-60 time of approximately 4 seconds. CARFAX shows consistent dealer maintenance throughout the lifetime of the vehicle including its most recent service at Ferrari Maserati of Central New Jersey at 18,551 miles in November of 2020.
This sale will include a set of 3 master keys, owner’s manuals, the original window sticker, a special edition keychain, Bentley trickle charger, Bentley car cover, and a clean title.

I would like to add to the article written that the scuff on the front that I zoomed in on is actually on top of the 3m clear bra not on the paint. Also the door jambs and Le Mans kick plate are wrapped in 3m which has protected the paint and metal work from being scuffed.
