The Bentley was imported and registered in the Netherlands on the 6th of April 2012. The last 2 APK's (The Dutch MOT) in 2016 & 2017 mention only "Excessive fluid leakage and low tyrepressure" as remarks. The last Dutch MOT expired in July 2019 and it has no Insurance at this moment. As the Dutch DVLA (Rijksdienst voor het Wegverkeer, RDW in short) is not giving any more information, my guess is that the Bentley is hidden in a garage or barn somewhere in the Netherlands waiting for better times. If it was scrapped or exported the Dutch licencenumber (42-TTD-7) it shows on the RDW website. Regards, from the Netherlands.
They should've kept the Bentley's grille-surround red instead of respraying it silver! If anything was needed, it should've had some trim added around each of the headlight-clusters!
How to wreck a car. Send it there and have plenty of filler, a dodgy paint job, and no one will ever want them. All for TV and totally lacking in any style or quality. The only one they did that looked like it was vaguely okay was Jules Hollands Rover 90 and that was only because it was a copy of the original one Rover made all those years ago.
Iirc Leepu was spitting chips over it as Jules wouldn't accept anything than a very close approximation of the gas turbine Rover. Leepu wasn't allowed to deviate and make it...well shit.

They pop riveted steel and aluminum body panels together and put loads of bodyfiller over it. In the car body and restoration industry that is called bodging.

Every rich people in Bangladesh started but and export Ferrari McLaren Mercedes Benz amg and JDM cars. Nissan skyline Toyota supra chaser mark ii and other cars but it’s all in Dhaka.
In the Netherlands it is also a possible to track down cars. Here is what I could find on the Bentley "Eight": - Imported 06.04.2012 - MOT 11.04.2013 without any issues - MOT 25.06.2015 with 4 remarks - MOT 24.06.2016 with 2 remarks - MOT 14.07.2017 with 2 remarks The remarks were about oil leakage and tire pressure. - MOT expired 14.07.2019 No further records. It is apparently still at it's first Dutch owner and has not been exported. But it is also not on the road currently.
I checked the Dutch car registration for the Bentley. The owner registered it in his name on April 6, 2012. Its last MOT expired on July 14, 2019, so the car still exists but is currently not on the road.
Another great video. You see, the thing about Leepu is that he has the Bangladeshi mindset about cars, where long term just doesn't come into the equation. In Bangladesh, Pakistan or India, you are much more likely to die in a fatal RTA than own the car long enough for all the filler to drop off! The GW joke made me laugh as well BTW. "Hunting Car", don't you just love the upper class. They probably only bought it so that they could just scrap it rather than have to wash it, or have someone wash it, as one might feel obliged to do with one's £100K Range Rover. I always wondered what had happened to old Elo. I once had a chat with him at the NEC classic show and he was quite a nice guy as I recall. He had his own show with Will Trickett, can't remember what it was called, but Will ended up doing the Flipping Bangers show with Gus Gregory. All good stuff.
I wouldn't pay a dime for these cars, but for better or worse (mostly worse) few modify cars this heavily and i have respect for the show for actually doing it.
They should've kept the Bentley's grille-surround red instead of respraying it silver! If anything was needed, it should've had some trim added around each of the headlight-clusters!
How on earth these creations were allowed on British public roads is beyond me. After seeing there construction of bent over steel sheets and dubious MIG welding and a ton of filler not to mention the colossal wheel spacers if one of these cars was involved in an accident god only knows the outcome 😮
As a true petrol head, it makes me sick these 'Chop Shop' guys can get away with selling unsafe cars. Surely these cars had to go through an IVA test before being legally allowed on British roads. Leepu reckoned he was in the same league as Enzo Ferrari. He's seriously deluded. Hated the programme and the TV production company should be ashamed of themselves.
Have you seen the episode of bearded explorer where he explores an abandoned chop shop with lots of unfinished projects, they are mostly mounting old bodies on new cars.
Oscar, the bentley is still registered in NL. But... hasn't bin on the road sinds 2019. 29-03-2012 registered in NL. Changed owner 1 week later on 6-04-12. After that never changed owner. Licence is "suspendid" since 14th of july 2019. Vehicle is also not insured, wich is compulsory in NL if street legal. So I think, the vehicle is in stock with one or an other dealer. Last APK (mot) was required before 14 july 2019. You cannot as a private person owne a motorcar without mot in NL. Only as a car dealer, as it is in stock for instance. That's all I could find Oscar. Good luck with channel, I love it anyway!
I know this is going to sound a bit morbid and in poor taste. But I was wondering what happened to the car that belonged to Jill Dando. The tv presenter that was murdered in April 1999. She had a blue convertible bmw. From the pics I’ve seen it was M95 SMO. But when I put this in it tells me it’s in a 2005 bmw 6 series auto. Which doesn’t seem right.
(I pause the video at 0:50.) First, I just want to say that I know that Martin Kemp's Gangster Car ended up in the dump because Martin himself mentioned it, but I didn't know what happened to the rest.
It's not bad compared to the other horrors they created. Not a fan of the 'Wagon Queen Family Truckster' inspired front light treatment though and those wheels are horrific design wise.
1. A DVD from "scrapyard to the showroom" a bold statement...your Bentley was scrapped! 2. The Jagggg, with "bespoke 6" hub extension spacers" built from aircraft spec alloy...6061 T6! I have never forgotten that episode & horrified at the time! How was that permitted, as shown on TV? Fark!
Thing is with these cars they were just made for the show, not really for the road after, the DVLA however can be dead funny to deal with as a ordinary person but they seem to be really accommodating when it comes to TV production companies.......... lots of these cars seem to have gotten modified log books to the make/model & body type without a SVA (that'd they'd never pass) and as you said in your video someone must of noticed how hacked about they are and removing the identities Its gotten worse now under mot exemption because theirs still thousands of kit cars out there on donor log books still running round as 'ford sierra gl' and the like on a Robin Hood
A lot of these cars are now being filtered out by MoT stations if obviously modified, and DVLA are definitely more alert to it when issuing V5s. But of course as you say once over 40 years old not obliged to MoT it so can fly under radar until there is an incident... But next time video we will have the most epic MoT advisory of all time...
@ thanks! Been subscribed for ages now still want to know what happened to the Porsche 914 that the farmer sold and bought back it’s not been seen since!

Leepu is a man with an awful lot of vision and an awful lack of talent to execute it.
Bangladesh's premier car designer....doesn't say much for the others. Leepus...creations make the Pontiac aztec look like a Ferrari LaFerrari.

If the Volvo "Hunting car" was built for roaming a country estate and not public roads, then there probably was no need to MOT again

What's new about Bangladeshis coming to England?
I think every car he did were utter crap.cheap and poop looking no offence.what a way to ruin cars.never understood it
they had another TV series based in florida america as well LOL
i no where the taxi is ..

Apart from being dangerous piles of scrap they pretty much all ended up looking the same

they all looked like crap when they were first made, he was an awful designer, glad he has gone to Jaguar they deserve him.
