Bentley knows how to throw a party.
The British luxury marque is celebrating 80 years of building cars at the storied production facility in Crewe with a one-of-a-kind Continental GTC. The gorgeous open-top grand tourer features a unique purple paint job that shows off the craftsmanship of Bentley’s self-proclaimed “Dream Factory.”
The stunning convertible, which we’ll call the Continental GTC 80th Anniversary Edition, was unveiled during a gathering of 107 Bentleys—including everything from the EX3 to the most recent Flying Spur Speed—charting the automaker’s 107-year history. Every single vehicle built from 1946 onward rolled off the line at the Pyms Lane site, which is located in the town of Crewe in Cheshire, England. A lot has changed over the past eight decades, but the factory, which is currently undergoing upgrades meant to help future-proof it, is where the craftsmanship traditions of yore are still practiced and will continue to be even as the brand prepares to release its first EV, the Torcal.
