A Bentley Arnage previously owned by Dragons' Den star Peter Jones is for sale on Auto Trader. The multi-millionaire tycoon can be seen driving the 2001 Red label model in the credits for the previous series of the hit BBC show - and it looks the business.
The Bentley comes complete with sat-nav, two DVD screens, leather seats, front and rear parking sensors and all-round electrics.
The 6.75-litre V8 engine develops 400bhp and 616lb/ft of pulling power to give 0-60mph in 5.96 seconds and an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.
Peter Jones is one of Britain's best known businessmen and entrepreneurs, having started his career aged 16 with the launch of his own tennis coaching school.
He has been on Dragons' Den since the show started in 2005, investing in pitches including the monumentally successful Reggae Reggae Sauce.
And throughout his career he's always shared a love for cars - first owning an Alfasud before upgrading to an Audi 80 Sport. Alongside Porsches and BMWs, Jones has also owned a Maybach 57 and Ferrari 550.
When he appeared alongside fellow Dragon Theo Paphitis as a Star in a Reasonably Priced Car on Top Gear he set a time of 1 minute 46.9 seconds - currently placing him ninth on the list.
If you want to declare yourself in, Peter Jones's old Bentley Arnage, which cost more than £150,000 new and has a full Bentley service history, is yours for £35,990.
