Not my cup of tea personally. Each to their own

James_N · 31 Mar 2007 at 15:16

Id love one too

cant afford one though. sheer luxury and power.

Some of the older 80's Bentley's are bargains now. All mod cons and a bentley, for the price of a new mondeo.

The beauty of the Bentley is that it can be either. Something like, say, a Rolls Royce Phantom, looks alien without a chauffeur.

There was an excellent write-up of a tour of Bentley's plant posted on here a few days ago, I'll dig out the link.

Very nice.....

With a limited run of only 550 it would be a good investment..no confirmation but expected to be around a quarter of a million.

I agree. Bentleys to me are 4 doors.

They just look wrong as coupes and softtops.

Never been a fan of Bentleys (apart from the CGT) and this is no exception.

I thought you liked quick cars? That looks like a blinged up bus.

Of course, if you want to pose like a rich man, it's the only wagon to have...

They are quick.

What do they handle like though - I presume it weighs in excess of two tonnes.

(and the figures in the post below mine are less impressive when you factor in said weight

)

Not too fussed, the Azure is quite special though.

Very nice, mans car...

I guess it has a certain presence about it. Styling straight from the Enzo "aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines" school of though. My money would be on a nice 599 GTB, but I guess you've been there already.
