ultimate luxury car

What a horrid interior.

Don't mind the outside though.

VW switchgear on the dash would annoy me the most.

What a stunning car, I love the Brooklands and that one looks fantastic. I must admit I'm not a big fan of that particular steering wheel either, but it's perfectly ok. The next owner could always have it changed anyway, if they're going to spend £175k on a BB they might as well if they want a different one

The interior is vile.

If you buy it, you wont be the one driving it surely?

Don't forget that a fair chunk of people who buy these won't be driving it themselves...

exactly what i was going to say, you aren't going to be starring down at it 90% of the time unless you're a chauffeur and in which case you're paid to look at it so shut up

It's a coupe Brooklands, not a saloon Flying Spur. Of course you would drive it yourself.

Bentley steering wheels are always an acquired taste.

The project Mulsanne has had two so far in its life:

Original -

Replacement -

Neither would exactly win beauty contests, but they get the job done.

Jeez those are terrible, fit a wood Nardi Classic and be done with.

They don't seem that out of the ordinary for the era JRS?

No, they aren't. But both always seem to draw opinions such as....

Is that steering wheel standard? It's awful!

Apart from that - looks great!

....or....

Its seems like Bentley can't make steeringwheels look nice!

For an expensive car they both lack any form of posh detail, shocking.

I quite like the original one myself, but it was in a bad way and probably needs quite a bit of work to get it to the point where it could be refitted.
