The Bentley Flying Spur is one of the British brand's flagship models, offering high-end comfort coupled with serious power.

Today, the stunning motor retails from around £175,000.

But older versions from the start of its production run have seen some heavy depreciation - so you can get a whole lot of car for your money.

One listing on offers a Continental Flying Spur with just 73,000 miles on the clock.

Only 4,042 Flying Spurs sold that year, so it's actually quite rare despite being priced at about the same as a second-hand VW Tiguan.

This example boasts a smooth four-wheel drive system powered by Bentley's iconic six-litre W12 engine.

Laying down 552 horsepower, it can reach 60 in under five seconds and will max out at a whopping 195mph.

But with the feather-light suspension, powerful noise insulation and luxurious leather seating, you might as well be hurtling along the motorway on a plush sofa.

You don't even have to worry about changing gear, with the six-speed automatic gearbox leaving you free to cruise in total comfort.

Best of all, it's listed for just £12,995 at the moment.

That's almost a grand less than Britain's cheapest new car, the £13,795 Dacia Sandero.

The only thing to note is that, at 14mpg, it is quite thirsty (that's what you get with 12 cylinders) so could cost you at the pump.

Likewise, thanks to its luxury credentials, it can be a bit pricey to insure but you really do get what you pay for.

It comes after a little-known car brand announced plans to undercut BMW with its first UK EV.
