Immigration officers found the luxury vehicle on 30 July when they were looking for illegal workers.
Police video footage of the operation shows the hybrid motor parked up among weeds and bushes outside the garage.
Officers also discovered 67 hybrid and heavily adapted vehicles on the site either with illegal registration documents or unroadworthy bodywork changes.
A police spokesperson said: "Given the nature of the site, special attention was paid to vehicles."
The Bentley is believed to be modelled on an earlier "Ultratank" built by Russian petrolhead Konstantin Zarutskiy for his YouTube channel AcademeG.
His prototype, with higher tracks, could reach 81 mph, slower than the Bentley's original 200mph but still faster than any other tracked vehicle.
This isn't the first time a luxury motor has been seized in a police crackdown on crime.
In the UK too, police are frequently confiscating supercars to improve safety in the capital.
Last year, Scotland Yard confiscated vehicles including a McClaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Westminster local residents complained about cars driving poorly or at high-speed.
So the force worked with Westminster City Council and the Motor Insurers' Bureau to remove nuisance drivers who drive around the area more frequently in the summer months.
The operation launched on the evening of August 2 and ran across that weekend seizing £6million worth of cars.
Officers also made five arrests including for insurance fraud, using a mobile phone at the wheel, not using a seatbelt and driving without due care.
Metropolitan Police Special Inspector Geoff Tatman said: "The Met is working to put communities first - listening to and tackling their concerns.
"This hugely successful operation has proved we are dealing with those crimes, such as anti-social driving, that is causing most distress to residents and tourists.
"This brilliant partnership work between the Met's Vehicle Enforcement Team, Motor Insurers' Bureau and Westminster City Council demonstrates to Londoners we are doubling down on crime on the roads.
"It's also testament to the hard work and dedication of the Met Special Constables – volunteer police officers - that play a vital role in our mission to make London safer and kindly give up their free time help serve the community."

Protesters tried to break into Canary Wharf asylum hotel, police say
Flares have been let off and an arrest made during a demonstration outside a hotel used to accommodate asylum seekers in a wealthy financial district of London. Protesters jeered at people going in and out of the hotel, and officers were forced to step in after flares were let off in the crowd, the Metropolitan Police said. A group of people outside the Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf were 'harassing occupants and staff' and trying to prevent people make deliveries, the force added. They were also trying to 'breach the fencing and access the hotel', an updated statement said. We have not banned protests outside the Britannia International Hotel. We continue to encourage those exercising their lawful right to protest to do so responsibly. Anyone who crosses the line from lawful protest into criminality can expect to face police action. — Metropolitan Police (@metpoliceuk) August 3, 2025 Powers were used under the Criminal Justice and Police Act to order the specific group to leave and not return for 28 days. But the Met clarified that it had not banned all protesters from the hotel – only the specific group causing trouble. 'We continue to encourage those exercising their lawful right to protest to do so responsibly,' a post on X said. 'Anyone who crosses the line from lawful protest into criminality can expect to face police action.' Earlier in the day, a man was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker after an officer was pushed. Onlookers chanted 'shame' towards the police as he was carried away. Tourists, shoppers and guests at a nearby hotel stopped to take pictures of the demonstration. A spokesperson for the Met said: 'At one point, officers intervened after flares were let off in the crowd. Several people were searched. No further flares were found. 'One man was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker after an officer was pushed. He was taken into custody. 'Officers remain in the area to provide reassurance to local residents and businesses, to ensure that any further protest takes place peacefully, and to respond to any incidents.' It is the latest in a series of demonstrations over the use of hotels to house asylum seekers. On Saturday, the force made nine arrests after rival groups gathered outside the Thistle City Barbican Hotel in Islington, north London. A protest and counter-protest also took place outside the New Bridge Hotel in Newcastle and four people were arrested on suspicion of public order offences, Northumbria Police said. Scotland Yard said plans were in place to 'respond to any protest activity in the vicinity of other hotels in London being used to accommodate asylum seekers'. Elsewhere, Essex Police placed a number of restrictions on a planned protest in Epping on Sunday evening. The force ordered that the demonstration should finish by 8.30pm and must take place in designated areas outside the Bell Hotel, which has been the focus of a series of protests over the last few weeks. Police have also placed requirements on the removal of face coverings until 3am on Monday and have the power to direct anyone committing or suspected of committing anti-social behaviour to leave the area until 8am on Monday.

Met police is axing anti-terror attack dogs in an attempt to cut costs
Training and housing the dogs can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds each year DOG EAT DOG Met police is axing anti-terror attack dogs in an attempt to cut costs Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTLAND Yard is getting rid of its elite anti-terror attack dogs in an attempt to cut costs. The Belgian Malinois are trained to attack a target even if they stop fleeing. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The Met said: 'We're prioritising resources and putting more officers on the beat' Credit: Getty Used in the Counter Terrorist Specialist Firearms Officer unit, they have helped to detain a large number of suspects without the need for officers to fire weapons. In 2018, the unit had four operational Malinois. Training and housing the dogs can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds each year. They cannot live with handlers and are kennelled at their London HQ. Officials said the 'tough decision' to axe the Conflict Management Dogs would help to patch up a £260million hole in its finances. But sources argue the dogs are a less lethal option than using firearms because since they have been used, the CTSFO unit has not had one fatal shooting. Malinois can be trained to be parachuted from helicopters and are used by Special Forces including the SAS. The Met said: 'We're prioritising resources and putting more officers on the beat. "We continue to have a sizeable dog unit with multiple capabilities.'
