An £800,000 Bentley Zagato has just gone on display at a JCT600 dealership in Leeds but its price tag and eye-catching appearance are not the only things that are special about this slice of heaven on four wheels.

For it began life as a Bentley GT Speed Coupe 2008 – far from a snip at £60,000 but still not in the supercar league.

It was bought from Gelderd Road’s JCT600 Leodis Court Bentley dealership in 2011 by a businessman from London. He then handed the bright red car over to Italian automotive design house Zagato, famed for customised conversions of Bentleys and other classy marques such as Alfa Romeo and Ferrari.

Every one of its exterior panels was replaced and today it is resplendent in a fetching shade of green. It is also one of only nine Bentleys in the world to have undergone a Zagato conversion.

The vehicle’s owner agreed to put it on display at Leodis Court after bringing it back for a service.

JCT600 Leodis Court Bentley general manager Michael Carr said: “We’ll have it on display until March 20 and urge any enthusiasts to come along and see it for themselves.”
