The Bentley Continental GTC, and GT, are special edition models which feature new interior colors and options.

The Series 51 is named after the year that the first official Bentley styling department was established. Started by John Blatchley, who shaped the original and 1950s Bentley Continentals. Every Series 51 car will feature a highly-distinctive interior colour palette and unique exterior design cues.

Series 51 cars also feature several unique interior details including the use of non-indented hide for diamond quilting, contrast piping for the seats and doors as well as bespoke Series 51 treadplates.

The exterior of the Continental GTC Series 51 is also different to the standard car. The standard wheels have been dropped in favor of unique 20", 14-spoke polished wheels with contrasting dark centre caps.

The paintwork of the Series 51 is available in a two-tone configuration. This highly distinctive color split (with one color running over the bonnet, roof and flowing down to the boot) is a classic design used on many sporting Bentleys of the past.

While the Series 51 edition is essentially just an extra styling option for the Continental GTC and GT models, at least it does actually improve the look of the car and give the customer additional material and color options. Unlike some 'special edition' models from other manufacturers which actually reduce the buyers choices for a premium price.
