I'm in awe of the talent of a man who manages to get the camera set up just right so the steering wheel is in the way of the speedo with impressive regularity.
It is a staple of his blasted videos, he takes these high performance cars out on totally inappropriate B roads, presumably so he can always get home for lunch.
Harry knocking it out of the park yet again. Loved the way he said he rang Bentley and they dropped off a £200.000 car off a few days later. Legend!! Was kind of hoping that he would use it as an excuse to pack some bags plus Mrs M and go off on a road trip. :)
@@aeromotive2 The Purosangue vs the Continental make for an interesting comparison-very similar purpose, but very different approaches. If the were the same price, it would be the Ferrari all the way.
A bit flashy, but oh my word this is a beautiful car, love the interior and ‘black’ spec. You can just imagine yourself cruising through Europe, arriving in Nice parking up, sitting in bar and just looking at it. Comfortable in the fact that you’ve made it and have the means to enjoy such a wonderful piece of engineering, electric will never replace a V8…
I don't think it would matter how rich I was, I'd be thinking "I just spend two hundred thousand pounds on a car that'll be worth fifty thousand pounds in 5 years" - of course most people probably have them under some kind of lease, so it's probably not quite as bad as all that.
@@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 totally agree with your choice of the W12 over the GT. However...this particular color combination is absolutely smashing, and I would shed nary a tear if I were to own it.
"..a quick call to Bentley..." Farmers have a different life these days! Keep em coming, Harry! Quarterly update on the fleet expected within a few weeks, sir. Carry on.
Strange how Bentley have finished it exactly the correct shade of envy I’m feeling right now! What a magnificent vehicle it looks. Great presentation Harry.
Harry do consider testing a Lexus LC500 its in the same category as the bentley and many aston martins at a fraction of the price and I would love to hear your thoughts on how it compares
One of the best videos, I’ve watched so much nicer not to hear a silly voice from Birmingham like the other chap . You gave a great in-depth to the car inside out what its performance is very impressed.
Superb video again. Harry just looks so content driving these. And maybe it’s my age, but I yearn for one of these more than anything else he reviews. Rather excellent Sunday night entertainment!
As usual, I enjoyed your video to the last second. You give me what feels like a comprehensive and accurate sense of what it would be like to drive or have the car. I appreciate your frank criticism, and your unapologetically delivered likes. You so understand a car has to have toy value and an emotional effect a little like falling in love.
I've been debating adding a quality die cast of this Bentley to my collection. However, it's just so close to theoretically attainable that I fear it would taunt me more than cheer me-It's a "If I had a year to live, I'd buy one of these and do a Grand Tour and die broke" kind of thing.
The other thing about the W12 is that because they're going out of production and we know something like that will never be repeated, is they will be more desirable second hand. You'd easily get the money back on it come resale time
I’d order a V12 with the black pack, dark green coachwork with matching green leather interior and matt wood finish. Absolutely a legend in its own lifetime ❤
Beautiful car. Everything a car should be; stunning looks, powerful, beautifully finished interior, quiet and comfortable. The kind of car you'd happily drive from Cornwall to Scotland, have a coffee and then drive home.
Fantastic car and excellent review! Fact is Bentley and Rolls reviews are best left to British Journalist! The attention to detail by Bentley is matched by Harry with facts and opinions that flow like a breeze on beautiful day when you are blessed with a GT Bentley to explore the countryside!
My dream garage changes with every video from Harry. Been following from the performance car days. Id move to burford just to watch the procession of dream motors coming from his gaff . Love all of his videos slowly working through them all
It might be the camera and the light, but that central wooden bit - the blank bit and the one with the three gauges set into it, looks like they’ve used a bit of pallet wood from round the back of Londis in Crewe.
What a masterpiece of a car, inside and outside. One of the most beautiful cars in the world, and what a mervellous engine. Thank you Mr. Harry, show and test for us, such a great machine.
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.
I’m lucky enough to be driven in and go on road trips in a variety of new Bentleys on a fairly frequent basis. The most recent was a GT Speed which was simply phenomenal. The V8 has a bit more noise and drama perhaps?
I would go for the W12 for the same reasons. One point to note is that the steering response and 'feedback' is reduced by the fitment of All Season tyres. It is better with Summer tyres.
Harry just come back from holiday in Barbados , Met a taxi driver who watched like me all your videos !!! Much to my wife’s annoyance we didn’t stop chatting about your videos
My favorite GT and a true cruiser and hooligan at the same time. Very nice. Won't we all miss exhaust notes like that when EVs take over? Is it better at touring as your V-12 500SL? I wonder. 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.
Great video as always! Funnily enough I watched your W12 video this morning. Reason being that I’d had a quick chat with a chap at Esso early this morning who had a Continental GTS, he’d commented on my 997, that he’d had a few 911s, thought they are great. I returned the compliment and mentioned I’d got up at 6am to take advantage of the clear roads. “Good lad” he said, as he patted me on the back. It was a funny encounter. 😊
Fascinating how much more pleasing that proper satin wood trim, LOVE IT - finally a non-glassy Bentley interior! Also, the analog knobs, buttons, switches, the click feel to them _is_ the luxury.
The sound of this V8 is superb, i love the engineering of the W12, but i gotta say, the V8 sounds way better, it would certainly be my choice if i could ever afford one of these
Sad to see the W12 go, the Continental GT has become the ultimate grand tourer. Bentley has also come pretty close to perfect on the interiors, the woodwork is beautiful.
Harry you are the best and by far. But if I would ask you for an extra in your videos, when you start those machines, a mic outside in the exhausts would be perfect. A hug from Spain.
Great video. Love Bentley brand. Always wanted a mulsanne until I saw one in flesh.... Utterly amazing but way too big. I tried to convince my missus to get one but she thinks our Range Rover is too big to park 😮. Never really thought of the GT as the top dog until you mentioned it. It makes sense now that there's just Bentayga, Flying Spur and Continental. Love the W12 colour but love the sound of the V8.... Cheers.
I doubt if the typical Bentley buyer is going to complain about lack of engagement. The smile on Harry's face said that there's enough engagement for most people. A car for the ages.
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!
Living close to Crewe, as I do, we often see Bentleys being test driven before delivery around here. I personally would love a Bentley, but unless the Lottery comes up for me it will remain a dream, unless I take a punt on an early one for £20k and just pray it doesn’t break! Great video as usual Harry, love the quote “oh I’m in Scotland , how did that happen?” Really sums up what this car is about. 🇬🇧😎
It's about time 007 dropped Aston Martin for a Bentley like this, just like in the original novels by Ian Fleming The commander drove a Bentley, proper Gent's express. Great GT car.
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!
Good 👍 when you talk about a car it's a great over view and has years of wisdom and knowledge on it,, passion for the car shines through,, really enjoyed this one,,😊☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland
Always inspiring videos and fantastic quality content Harry. Love the Conti GT perfect long distance cruiser, I’m buying one when I go back to New Zealand 🇳🇿
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 Rob
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.
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...
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 😍🇬🇧
I could live without the snorty exhaust and would change the veneer, but otherwise what a wonderful looking car inside and out, especially inside. Thank you, Harry. 👍
I'm in awe of the talent of a man who manages to get the camera set up just right so the steering wheel is in the way of the speedo with impressive regularity.
the digital speedo is visible in the centre
I'm in awe of someone who can make "a quick call to Bentley" and get a Continental delivered
Let's not forget his friend lent him that Bugatti
I don't think a call to Bentley for an experienced and well known car jerno is much to speak of tbf
@catnapwat: I hope you're not implying that our Harry ever breaks the speed limit? What a monstrous allegation!
@@oliveroshea5765 press fleet conection at bentley and vw ag.
The launch view, over your right shoulder, at the crossroads is brilliant. Please make it a staple of your videos. Gives a real sense of the speed.
yeah when they launch them on a runway it always looks slow
It is a staple of his blasted videos, he takes these high performance cars out on totally inappropriate B roads, presumably so he can always get home for lunch.
That's the classiest, most laid back, Bentley interior I've seen. That matt wood just makes it so not over the top! What a car.
I love my 20 min with Harry on Sunday evening…. Harry Garage vids are just like this car: Quality.
I really miss the weighing scales. Would love to see them used in every review.
With this they'd say "One at a time please!"
Only if he promises to get them calibrated. 🤔
Based scales
Harry’s “scale of truth”. 😂
The Metcalfe scale !!

I know quick call to Bentley and a few days later that arrives wish I could do that.
Harry has genuine pedigree and I'm sure the auto manufactures recognise his integrity.
I have been a Ferrari fan all my life but this Bentley GT is astonishing. What a proper way to travel.
Beautiful in so many ways
Ferrari and Bentley aren't the same.

@@aeromotive2 The Purosangue vs the Continental make for an interesting comparison-very similar purpose, but very different approaches. If the were the same price, it would be the Ferrari all the way.
The proper way to travel is in the back of a Bentley (or RR).

Burford and the road to Charlbury

Not usually a conti fan but this new sleeker shape looks good and in that colour and spec looks great. (No black wheels thank goodness)
id like to see single oval exhausts that match the taillights. seems like something super obvious to do to make the car look better
A future classic. Looks timeless.
Absolutely gorgeous. The Conti GT has always left me a bit 'undecided,' but it's come of age!
Love this interior combo. Sweet ride
One of the best videos, I’ve watched so much nicer not to hear a silly voice from Birmingham like the other chap . You gave a great in-depth to the car inside out what its performance is very impressed.
That green does things to me
And with silver wheels - lovely to see
Yyyeeeeeeessssss
Agreed always has done for me
Yes I know it's a little ocd but I'd be wanting the wood grain to line up on both positions of the rotating dash.
Me too Al, it was a little distracting!
Superb video again. Harry just looks so content driving these. And maybe it’s my age, but I yearn for one of these more than anything else he reviews. Rather excellent Sunday night entertainment!

Absolutely classic Bentley. An aspiration to own one but never gonna happen. Great video as ever Harry
Never say never, if you really want to own one, do whatever it takes to achieve your goals in life. I love my 1975 Bentley.
There are a number of circa 2010 Conti GT on autotrader for ~12k........
I've been debating adding a quality die cast of this Bentley to my collection. However, it's just so close to theoretically attainable that I fear it would taunt me more than cheer me-It's a "If I had a year to live, I'd buy one of these and do a Grand Tour and die broke" kind of thing.
Awesome car Harry, it exudes pure class, style and premium build quality. My weekend is complete! Thanks for another great vid. 👍🏻😃
Bentley nailed it this time!
Soooo glad this one was green on green, proper! I'd have mine with brick red interior, classic look❗️
You can see the incredible ride comfort and composure just by the in-cabin video while going down a bumpy road.
Thanks Harry, this video has convinced me to buy a Continental GT....in 1:64 scale
When Harry brings out a new video I click like first then watch second. Such an order has never let me down
The other thing about the W12 is that because they're going out of production and we know something like that will never be repeated, is they will be more desirable second hand. You'd easily get the money back on it come resale time
I’d order a V12 with the black pack, dark green coachwork with matching green leather interior and matt wood finish. Absolutely a legend in its own lifetime ❤
No you didn't.
As for the rotating centre dashboard thingy, I've seen better fit and finish on DIY souped up Cortina's.
Watch lots of motoring videos but have to say yours are so much more informative and interesting to watch.
Thank u for the review. That’s definitely the best Volkswagen on the market.
Beautiful car. Everything a car should be; stunning looks, powerful, beautifully finished interior, quiet and comfortable. The kind of car you'd happily drive from Cornwall to Scotland, have a coffee and then drive home.

"A quick call to Bentley and this one came in". Very nice.
I was also wondering how the V8 compared to the W12 so I gave Bentley a call, apparently my call is very important to them and I’m still on hold.

The fact that the wood on the rotating screen panel doesn't match the rest of the dash would drive me insane.
Agreed, I noticed that too.
A first world problem ! I am sure you can choose whatever your heart desires !
I'm sure a word in the ear of the showroom sales person that it's a deal breaker would suffice.
We have the new version of the W12 and I’d never go back to the V8. It’s just soooooo smooth and awesome to drive.
No you don't.
What a masterpiece of a car, inside and outside. One of the most beautiful cars in the world, and what a mervellous engine. Thank you Mr. Harry, show and test for us, such a great machine.
I’m sure the crown cut veneer is a different tone on the rotating dial bit - that worries me
Hey David, I thought exactly the same and it was quite distracting. Maybe it was a trick of the light, not sure.
The interior is perfect. Love the wrap around wood and color combo. So Bentley.

I remember the launch of the first gen Continental. That car got a lot of hate. Never thought it’s offspring would mature so well.
6:30 Is the backseat actually just a parcel shelf? It looks suitable for legless double-amputees only. Backseat (sic) knee-room approaches zero.

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...
One of the most beautiful interiors ever imho..
Btw, exterior wise also such a handsome car
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.
Bloody love a Harry’s Garage Video. Agree Great spec for this car the correct colour combination too .A true Gentleman Cruiser.
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.
Tailights are the best bit.
Is that an F50 in the background? Would like to see that reviewed, and waiting for more on the F40
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 😍🇬🇧
I saw the w12 Bently yesterday in taupo new zealand. It looks so good in person. I love the back of it
I could live without the snorty exhaust and would change the veneer, but otherwise what a wonderful looking car inside and out, especially inside. Thank you, Harry. 👍
Piano black would look better than than wood veneer
Anyone see the Audi on the wrong side of the road at around 17:45?
