      @@undoubtedlyso4542 Well I'm probably exaggerating, but if they end up with high mileage it's possible. Normally a "good example" where the mileage is quite low will around halve in value every 5 years - AND they are really hard to sell now because everyone knows they are all Audi/VW underneath only way more expensive for parts and labor, and Audi and VW products don't last - so someone buying one used is going to have to also buy a warranty, or accept they are probably in for a lot of repairs.

    I'm not sure the W12 is the pick. That V8 sent to a good aftermarket tuner and fitted with the ELSD would undoubtedly be a much quicker car than the speed.
    As mentioned, Bentley have positioned it behind the Speed W12.
    I also would like to see them weighed against each other.
    Aston's new DB12 is getting 671hp from the AMG V8 against the W12's 650.
    A bit of aftermarket intervention and I recon that V8 s would be lighter quicker and sound better.
    Be a nice problem to have. I do love these Continentals.

If you like to drive your own car, Bentley is a better luxury brand than Rolls-Royce to my mind. Nice spec too. Color, what a concept. Is a sea of dull whites, greys and blacks, it's a very nice change.

    Hello Harry, if you make a recording in your garage I see all the cars and motorcycles without covers. Is that only during the recording or are they normally under a cover? I have a clean garage myself, but if I don't cover my vintage cars and jet skis, they quickly get a whole layer of dust on them. And with as many vehicles as you have, it takes a lot of cleaning work.

    We think alike Harry, I tried both. Very similar in all respects! I too plumbed for the W12. although there was barely a cigarette papers width between them. Like you I go for spec. Newness mileage, No. of owners & full dealer service history! What I found were that there were far more better equipped W's than V8's. The main reason though is it was a 12 cylinder engine! Not many out their & all of those have not long left! Bentley, Rolls, Aston, Fezza or Lambo! My only V10 was a Lambo & they don't do a 4seaterish coupe! No you can't count Shopping & Sport Utility Vehicle! Only had 2 rainy days so no roof down on only 70ish miles. So far so great!

    always love the reviews. I'd love to hear you compare rides etc to others, for instance, 'the bentley has ride and quietness of a range rover , with a sporting personality when required. So that those that will probably never get to be in one can get some idea how they compare.

    An irresistible design. It is nice to see a car with BOTH an interesting front end and a distinctive rear with those bewitching taillights. Bravo, Bently!

    The thing i keep looking at is where the screen/clocks are. With that finished wooden edge, it doesn't look finished. I could have done with a chrome finisher like around the tray in the centre console. Other than that, the BCGT is growing on me. This iteration of it is a rather handsome beast. But like you harry, while you can, W12 all the way.

    Heelo from France where your videos and your posh accent easing the understading are much appreciated !!! One question please; Are dashboard dials (speedo and tacho) "mechanical" ones ? (not digital). By the way I suspect (and hope !) that luxury car will follow watches trend with timeless dials). All the best.

    Matt Armstrong repaired a crash damaged V12 on his YT channel, it’s a beautiful car and was fascinating to see how they are put together. Worth watching if you like Bentley’s.

    I presume your garage started life as an agricultural shed. As I am reciting something similar, can you tell me how you lined the interior and with what materials.
    Thanks

    I've always liked the flowing lines of Bentley interiors over the blockiness of Rolls-Royce.
    This car is no exception. Simply stunning, and I can smell the leather through my computer screen.

    @paulelverstone8677 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't think that we talk about cabin quality enough. After all; this is where you spend your time and on this occasion I think that Bentley have knocked it out of the park! I know it's £200k but I've seen other cars in that price range who can't turn out an interior like that. Styling of the car; I've never been a fan of but the interior is spectacular imho...

  • @eggbirdtherooster

    This bentley sounds wayyy better than the speed, considering the speed trim should be the sportiest trim. Love the rear car shots Harry! Those sounds are really good.

    That green, is amazing! The satin finished wood, is always best for me, it has a vintage elegant feel that is unmatched! The satin green seats, with the tan-ish trim makes the car visually perfect! Only this I'd change is the taillights, I've never cared for the latest Bentley taillights.

    Owned a 2008 Flying spur for a couple of years, back in 2014/15. It's technology was a bit dated but, It was the most amazing, competent car I've ever owned & I'd love to have another at some point 😍🇬🇧
