Used Bentley Brooklands for sale

The Brooklands saloon and coupe come fitted with safety features typical of luxury cars of their time, including airbags, ABS, traction control and reinforced bodies. Some models also feature an advanced braking system. It's important to be aware that active safety doesn't match the technology found in modern vehicles, so careful inspection of any used example is essential.

All Bentley Brooklands are powered by a 6.75-litre V8 engine. Early saloons have a naturally aspirated version, with a turbocharged option introduced later. The coupe uses a twin-turbo V8 – producing around 530bhp and a remarkable 1,050Nm torque – along with a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

The Brooklands has all the luxury details you'd expect, from full leather upholstery and detailed wood inlays to climate control. Tech evolved over time – later coupes added higher-spec sound systems and more advanced electronics, though modern connectivity is limited. Expect hand-finished quality but little to nothing in the way of touchscreens or driver aids.

Fuel economy is not a strong point. The original saloon managed around 14–18mpg, while the 2008–2011 coupe typically returns 9–18mpg depending on driving style and roads. With a large fuel tank, the Brooklands offers fair range, but regular fill-ups are needed for a car of this weight and power.

Check service history closely, focusing on engine upkeep, brakes and suspension. The coupe’s bodywork and interior need careful inspection, as repairs or replacements can be costly. It’s sensible to book a full The AA Vehicle Inspection to reveal any hidden issues, as complex electrics and heavy components may have aged.

Reliability depends on care and maintenance. Many Brooklands have low mileages and are well preserved, but their size, weight and complexity mean things can go wrong if they’ve been neglected. Electrical and air-suspension faults are possible, so buying with a full history and expert inspection is highly recommended.
