The Bentley Arnage Birkin Edition, produced between 2000 and 2001, was a limited-run variant of the Arnage Green Label, named in honor of Sir Henry “Tim” Birkin, one of the legendary “Bentley Boys.” This special edition marked the final series of Arnage models equipped with the 4.4-liter BMW V8 engine, with only 52 units produced. Notably, the Birkin Edition featured a distinctive three-dial instrument cluster, setting it apart from the standard five-dial configuration found in other Arnage models.
