Pictured: 200mph Bentley first owned by Cristiano Ronaldo has been put up for sale on Auto Trader

A 200MPH Bentley first owned by Cristiano Ronaldo has been put up for sale on Auto Trader for £65,000, less than half the price he originally paid.

The superstar footballer paid around £200,000 for the 2008 Continental GT Speed and was regularly photographed driving it to and from Manchester United’s training ground.

He picked up numerous parking tickets in the high-powered car after crashing his Ferrari 599 GTB near Manchester Airport.

According to reports, Ronaldo sold the car, along with a 2004 Mercedes C-Class, to a Manchester United fan for £114,995 in August 2009, meaning it has almost halved in value the past seven years.

Croydon dealership A&R carriages has now taken the dark blue motor into stock.

Their managing director, Anthony D’silva, had been looking for a Bentley to use in this summer’s Modball Rally, a 2500 mile drive across Europe.

The luxury coupe has been driven just 36,500 miles in eight years and has a full Bentley service history.

Unlike other footballer-owned vehicles, little has been done in terms of personalisation.

It boasts a 6-litre W12 engine, 600bhp, a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph.

However, the car guzzles fuel and manages just 17mpg.

Mr D’silva said: “I am big football and Ronaldo fan so when I found out it was his I had to buy it.

“The car is in great condition, it is a really clean example which has a full Bentley service history and the great talking point that it was first owned by Cristiano Ronaldo, who is arguably the world’s best footballer.

“It is a great investment opportunity for a collector, sports fan or just someone who is simply after a well cared for Bentley GT Speed.”
