Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor former Bentley sold after his previously owned Bentley Flying Spur appeared on the Portland Autos in the Bawtry website for £125,000. The car had already carried one of the most recognisable links in this story: it was the same vehicle he used at Prince Philip's funeral.
£125,000 was the asking price attached to the Bentley Flying Spur when it was listed on the dealership website, a figure that placed a former royal car into a normal used-car marketplace rather than a private sale. Portland Autos said the listing drew a stir online and described the car as having a “very interesting story.”

2025 was the turning point for the car’s chain of custody. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Bentley had been handed over to a Bentley dealer after he was stripped of his royal titles that year, and the later dealership listing put the vehicle back into circulation with a public price attached.
Portland Autos said, “One of our recent new additions seems to have made a bit of a stir online. This is a fantastic car with a very interesting story! Whatever your thoughts on the previous owner, it doesn't detract from the car itself.” That language is doing two things at once: it leans on the name attached to the car, while also trying to separate the saleable object from the person who once owned it.
The dealership also said the car was sold “immediately” and had gone to a “great home.” For buyers in this market, that means the public listing did not linger long enough to become a standard inventory item; it became a short-lived high-profile sale the moment the website post went live.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the title loss
2025 also matters because the title removal sits behind the car’s path to market. Once the Bentley was handed over after that change, the vehicle could be advertised like any other prestige car, even though its previous owner and its appearance at Prince Philip's funeral kept the listing tied to a far wider public story.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is pursuing a judicial review over whether the police lawfully arrested him and searched his properties, and that separate legal move runs alongside the car sale. Thames Valley Police said, “We are engaged in legal proceedings in relation to warrants previously obtained from the Central Criminal Court. As these legal proceedings are currently ongoing, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.”
What specific buyer purchased the Bentley after it was listed for £125,000 is not identified, leaving the sale itself public but the new owner private.
