I have a 99 Arnage (34k). I absolutely love it! Enough power/tightness for me! My retired Bentley tech (42 years) said the red label Arnage (that followed the green label) will have the head gasket issue. It's just when. It was a design flaw even though Bentley never acknowledge it. I had rather have that confidence since it is a $10,000+ job here in the states! Many say to let the engines warm up before driving them. He said it will definitely help, but nothing can change the original problem from the factory! I just bought my dream car...a 1986 Corniche! Awesome again you are into RR/Bentley as a young man! Enjoy!!!!
My arnage was a 4.4 litre green label. I just couldn’t really bond with it. Congratulations on your new Corniche a truly beautiful car. Glad you enjoyed the video, look forward too seeing you soon.
@@cormaconcars4224 I bought it 6 months ago. The original owner had moved to Florida. I bought it from his wife after he passed. I brought back to North Carolina where he had purchased it new. Ironically, his tech/mechanic (I mentioned earlier) is my friend who continues to service it.
🤗 Some really lovely looking Rolls_Royce and Bentley vehicles. Some people might say that the Arnage, was the very last real British Bentley ever made. These cars 🚗 are such good value now. Thanks for showing....
Aww thanks, I really appreciate that I didn’t like my arnage so am thinking of a Continental gt it’s a brilliant car I really want to get a Rolls-Royce phantom as that’s my favourite dream car. Glad you enjoyed the video
A great video of the Arnage T and I’m so pleased I got to meet you in person finally. I’ve got plenty to think about with the advice you gave me also about which Arnage to get, keep making great videos - all the best.....Rob 😃
Yeah that is the nicest Arnage the T and the T with both the turned aluminum AND woodveneer , awlays remember though you have a car that has all the basic ingredients of this ,maybe not the top speed , which for a guy of your age might not be a bad thing .
Have you thought about a later Continental R or T? That might be a good balance of refinement and the "classic" Rolls/Bentley feel. Of course, I'm partial!
I don't know Cormac's budget but the Continental R and Ts tend to go for a lot more money than the Arnages. Maybe a Turbo R might do the trick, if it's not too "classic" feeling
@@benofbrown I can get a Continental t or r but I don’t want one because I want to get a Rolls-Royce Phantom my all time favourite car, which I’m looking at getting and I also want to start a collection now but just not a fan of them so I would be wasting money if I got one cause I don’t really want one, I need to drive one first
the Arnage was developed by Bentley when the company still belonged to Vickers.the engine was developed by Rolls Royce/Bentley in the 60s and the first VW Bentley was the Continental 2004.... the Arnage ist absolute British... Sir...

A non elderly looking finish.my car is a non abs non srs car 1983 to avoid costs for failed electronics that when obsolete are no. Once available. my spirit is custom built by me using various parts from the entire series. I built my own version spiritwith millinery Park ward badges and red RR badges. It's in storage for now sitting at 90Km on the clock. Dual exhaust with no catalytic converter. The car is peppier than my early shadow,is one of a kind. Someday I'll make qn exterior video of it for now on,y a drivi g it video is uploaded of the car.being interagency it's hard to video it under all the dust in the dark were it sleeps.
My first Rolls-Royce was a spirit. I like these wheels and would have left them like it. I would like to see your car sometime. You have a true passion for Rolls-Royce and Bentleys, I’m thinking of getting another silver spirit
@@cormaconcars4224 I chose the spirit of all the crewe cars because it has rectangular headlights a gm turbo 400 transmission mineral oil hydralics that don't rust internally like shadows and cornice when the spirt came out they were priced at over $150 thousand I got my car in 1996 for $26000 with 24000 miles and felt lucky. Seler sold it to me for half it's book value at the time.by accepting my low offer.I spent over $60,000 to build my spirit, my friend was trained at PA woods since he was 18 and had a RR shop in america.i learned all I could from him and restored 2 shadows and the spirit.years later I lost my parents and a great deal of inheritance due to drama and 2008. So I sold the shadows and lost a lot on them but got a brand new 1976 cheverolet caprice out of a collection with 1600 miles.i kept the spirit my rolls guy in parts retired he was a direct connection from England with a hooper and muliner park ward parts as. Well as factory spares he bought when they closed. So I had the parts source later on my mechanic from Britain moved out of America to brazil.im unable to find either of them now. So I put the special car in my side garague until better times.it developed a hydralic flow problem no one in the rolls community can diagnose its guessed the roll restrictor valve may be seized and the left rear caliper needs replace the overhaul I did failed. Right after the car was painted my flat mate took nude pics of me with my car lol to use on social network at the time. Most roller owners are old and wouldn't dare pose for such a thing.all I have on is a hat in the pics if I can find them somewhere on an old phone.i own like 30 cars and stay busy restoring them myself. I can't afford to pay shops anymore so I do all the work myself with some basic tools, my tools stolen and what was not and what was donated to me is what I use now.i live alone and have no mechanic friends anymore it's a tough world.ive owned a Rolls from age 23 to age 56.i loved the rolls cars since age 12 and have 5 german made mercedes had many of those. Customized all my cars to be special, they fill the void in my love life and lost family members.im of the alternative lifestyle yet very conservative. I will try and find pics I took of the car when it was being driven if you saw the car now with cob webs dirt n dust sitting in the side garague it would be sad to see.took 3 years time to take aprt and reassemble the car to my standards.glad I built it when I was really making great income.that wild yellow pink with gold plate phantom you Drove reminds me of my spirit project.moms dinning room had the entire interior of a rolls in it 3 times each roller I gutted and restored.the living room had a bonnet in it back when i lived in their lavish home.my life story would make for a 3 part movie not all of it was good I'm lucky to have survived some very very rough road of life's drama.anyhow I'll look for pics to send you or make a short video and upload it of the special Rolls cheers Cormac, Mel..

Another great video, I wish that every car channel had your genuine approach and enthusiasm.

Aww thanks Alan, much appreciated glad you enjoyed it
The Arnage has the class a Continental GT lacks, but as with anything it's a matter of choice. Great to see someone young with such enthusiasm.

I’ve had my Arnage for the last 5 years. Love it. I live just up the road from Burghley.
I didn’t like my arnage, I used to live just down the road from burghley
@@cormaconcars4224 I wasn’t blown away by the 4.4 either. I drive a few Arnage variations. 6 3/4 is by far the best.
@@jonathangould1255 could you pop me a call tonight on 07579783403. As I grew up around Oakham. I sold my arnage 4.4 as I couldn’t bond with it
@@cormaconcars4224 weirdly I’ve only just seen your message. I still have my Arnage.
@@jonathangould1255 I will have to come over and see you as I’m just down the road from burghley house as well the arnage is a good car

It was great meeting you too rob, I can’t wait for you too get your Arnage I look forward to seeing it soon, best wishes regards Cormac
Rob could you give me a call on 07579783403 I have some more advice for you 👍
Thank you for a most interesting video. I'm torn between a Bentley T 2, Bentley Arnage, Silver Shadow or Wraith 2
Out of the lot of you want modern then the arnage but I would go for the shadow 👍
Yeah that is the nicest Arnage the T and the T with both the turned aluminum AND woodveneer , awlays remember though you have a car that has all the basic ingredients of this ,maybe not the top speed , which for a guy of your age might not be a bad thing .
I totally agree with you, the arnage T is the best model of arnage they made. It’s not the fastest car in the world but it is a rather beautiful car
Have you thought about a later Continental R or T? That might be a good balance of refinement and the "classic" Rolls/Bentley feel. Of course, I'm partial!
No I haven’t thought about one of those to be fair. It will be good to try one though. They are two good cars
I don't know Cormac's budget but the Continental R and Ts tend to go for a lot more money than the Arnages. Maybe a Turbo R might do the trick, if it's not too "classic" feeling

Shut the window.
I wanted to hear that v8 sound
"English heritage"
With an American Engine, and a company owned by the Germans … yes, very English - cough!
the Arnage was developed by Bentley when the company still belonged to Vickers.the engine was developed by Rolls Royce/Bentley in the 60s and the first VW Bentley was the Continental 2004.... the Arnage ist absolute British... Sir...
Feel like an Abbey owner......hmmmmmmm
