Red Label, please!
The last Bentley model developed under Vickers – before Volkswagen took over. Undoubtedly a classic, produced at the Bentley/Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe, UK. The Arnage was mainly offered with two engine choices, a 4,4 litre V8 from BMW and the well-known 6,75 litre V8 sourced from Rolls-Royce. Cars with a BMW engine were marketed as the “Green Label”, while cars with a Rolls-Royce engine were called the “Red Label”. One characteristic that reveals which engine the cars have is the colour of the hubcaps. A “B” on a red background is the “Red Label”.
About the cars
The car depicted in the main picture is a "Red Label". In terms of size, it is a full-size car at over 5 metres, but parked along the street in front of a Range Rover it basically looked quite compact. Considering motorization and performance, you can call it a wolf in sheep's clothing, right? The car in Sherwood Green is photographed outside Bentley Oslo, Brooklands Motors, in Billingstad. It is a "Green Label". There are currently 18 Bentley Arnages registered in Norway. The navy blue car was parked on the street in Chelsea, London, 2024. It is a Bentley Arnage Red Label.
