Luxury Forgotten: Bentley Continental GT Left Unattended In Mumbai
Images of a Bentley Continental GT sports coupe, worth crores, have surfaced online, showing the luxury car abandoned on the roadside. The car, with a Kerala registration number plate, appears to have been left unattended by its current owner. Many who saw the post on Auto Luxury India's Instagram page speculated that the car belongs to Malayalam film producer Joby George.
Joby George is known for his collection of expensive cars. His Instagram profile showcases several high-end vehicles, including a Rolls Royce, Lamborghini Urus, and a Land Rover Range Rover SUV. There are also images of a Lexus luxury SUV. Despite these claims, online details reveal that the Bentley is registered to its second owner, not Joby George.
Details of the Abandoned Bentley
The Bentley in question is a 2004 model Continental GT 2-door sports coupe. It features a 6.0-litre W12 engine producing 552 Bhp and 650 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with an automatic transmission, sending power to all four wheels. Back in 2004, this model was priced at around Rs 3.3 crore ex-showroom.
The car's current location in Mumbai further supports the notion that it no longer belongs to Joby George. The vehicle appears to be parked under a flyover, with visible damage to the front bumper and a missing headlight washer. The dual-tone black and copper colour scheme still looks striking despite its neglected state.
Speculations and Ownership
While many believe that Joby George once owned this Bentley, it seems he may have sold it years ago. The current owner has evidently abandoned it. This isn't an isolated incident; similar cases have been reported before.
For instance, images of an abandoned Bentley Arnage in Pune and a Mercedes-Benz W220 S600 limousine have also circulated online.
The exact reason behind the abandonment of this multi-crore Bentley remains unknown. If anyone has more information about this car's story, they are encouraged to share it in the comment section of the original Instagram post.
Such instances highlight how even luxury cars can end up neglected for various reasons. Enthusiasts often celebrate new acquisitions by prominent personalities, but not all owners maintain their expensive vehicles over time.
DriveSpark Thinks
The mystery of the abandoned Mumbai Bentley remains unsolved. While the initial speculation linked it to a famous film producer, the car's registration details paint a different picture. Regardless of its past ownership, the neglected state of this once-majestic machine serves as a cautionary tale.
It highlights the commitment required to maintain such high-performance vehicles and the potential consequences of neglect, even for luxury icons like the Bentley Continental GT.
This story may spark the owner to come forward, or it might remain an unsolved automotive puzzle – but one thing's for sure, it serves as a reminder to cherish and care for the machines that grant us automotive thrills.
