A Bentley Continental GT converted to off-road use
has been sold for a touch under US$ 54,000 during an eBay auction.
The wild Bentley that looks like it could survive an
apocalypse was created for National Geographic’s Supercar Megabuild series and
attracted no less than 101 bids after it was listed on August 30 at a starting
price of just 1 pound (US$ 1.32).
Despite being a luxurious and desirable Bentley
Continental GT under the extreme bodywork, the car sold for far less than it
would of it was never modified. Nevertheless, the buyer is now the owner of a
true one-of-a-kind Bentley that will probably never be replicated.
Approximately US$ 32,300 was spent to turn the Bentley
into an off-road monster. The most significant modifications include a new
suspension system, 17-inch steel wheels with huge tires, skid plates, flared
wheel arches, a bull bar up front, roof-mounted LED light bar and a steel cage
on the rear that can carry two jerry cans and a spare wheel.
