I have to say, are there any limits to your undoubted talents ? removing a roof lining is always challenging, never mind repairing to the standard that you have. With regard to your choice of car, 100% support you on that, I ran a GTC for seven years, I absolutely loved it, a brutally fast luxury car, for the money, these cars are hard to beat, just as long as people follow your advice, don't buy the cheapest one on offer, but do buy the one with provable full history, and of course keep a few quid put by for servicing and unforseen snags. Enjoy your time with it. I know you will.
@@assettrader1587 thanks very much! As with any slightly older premium car, there are lots of things to be wary of, but buying a well serviced, good history car has to be the only real way forward (even with a few slightly rough edges!) 👍
Really enjoyed that boss, what a ride. Oh, and never, never apologise for your work, you're doing this for a bloody living and know what's required by the fiercest critic of all - the market. Get it wrong, you pay. Counts for WAY more than bull from some keyboard warrior. Great stuff, well done!!! 👍👏👏👏
Very cool car! I would keep the wheels, I think they look way more modern than those 19s. Alse those tires are a selling point, if you don't smoke them up in the next 3 months. Also excited about the next car. At first I thought you bought a mystery van but then realised Scooby is a Subaru where you live 😅
Ive looked at these and flying spurs many times, so many "gotcha's" on them like removing wings and front ends for service or repair procedures and tipping the engine forwards to replace engine sensors between the back of the engine and bulkhead . Iam getting old and my patience wheres very thin nowadays, cannot wait for more. !!
Well Johnny, to quote the knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade......"you have chosen wisely" Always liked these Bentleys....it would be between this and an Aston Martin DB9 for me 👏🏼
It's certainly one of those cars...Its a bit of a leap of faith getting into one but if you're willing to put the graft in and give the car what it needs - what a machine you will have!
Fair play Johnny. You've worked hard to get that money pot up, so why shouldn't you use some of it to buy a dream car. Although i wasn't much of a fan of these when they came out. In the right colour (like this one), they really do look the business. Love the number plate as it is a great reference to chop to the top! Just can't wait to see what Scooby (got to be from those hints right?) you have managed to buy for that series going forward. Great vlog & thanks for posting 👍🏻
Fantastic car J, and once again nothing seems to phase you when it comes to putting things right. If only you could do the same to my 20 yr old Land Cruiser, purchased it after my other one seriously failed the MOT and again it has been repaired by the same people that repaired your GT, John Wayne Inc. I bet you can't feel the bumps in the roads around you. Great job so far. Keep On Keeping On.
Thanks very much. I feel very privileged to be in a position with Chop To The Top where I can buy cars like this and enjoy them before moving onto the next! Lots more to come from the Bentley as well as other cars in the series!
Great work on getting one of your dream cars. Fully deserved and a great way to tick of your dream cars 🙌 Love your videos and the work you do. Keep it up mate and look forward to the next one 😎
Looking good driving that Bentley Johnny, it suits you. Always thought they are a beautiful car and you instantly look rich driving one of them regardless of its age. Interesting to hear how it treats you whilst you have it, and I am sure it will be a better car when you move it on, from when you bought it. 👌
Great work Johnny, was lots of seemingly small enhancements but involving some very skilled work… I’d heard the cost of replacing the rear brake light which was astounding… great you found a workaround!
Thanks very much! Yes there will be lots of minor fixes coming up to make this as good as it can possibly be (although I’m absolutely loving driving it and using it regardless!) What a dream come true!
Well done mate. That headliner came out really well. I did mine in my vw golf and that was had enough using stretchy fabric never mind leather which I imagine is a lot less forgiving. Nice job
Hey Johnny, My only request is that you get a period/era correct looking ICE unit. I've seen some units that look factory-esque, but have all the modern functionality. I'm something of a fuddy duddy when it comes to car interiors. Great video.
I absolutely hear you! I’m still trying to research and find the best option but hopefully I can achieve all the modern stuff without making it look too OTT!
nice car and not an old man car at all and love the number plate and keep the wheels this is one of my dream cars and 19 years old it still looks fresh
Interesting! I have done various tests with the suspension to check it all functions and all seems A-OK, but you could be right. It looks a little high (I’d assumed because of the bigger wheels), but I’ll have to plug it in and see what heights are being read vs what correct spec should be!
@@godspeed6315 Hi, thanks for watching! Currently I have a mk3 fiesta for sale (as featured on this channel a few weeks ago). This isn’t on auto trader but it is on eBay & car&classic!
I was going to say don't get the tesla screen but imo after looking online there aren't many options that look great, will make them look like a VW Polo infotainment unit! I would go with the tesla unit and supply the OEM part with the sale of the car.
I do know what you mean. I thought about a separate Bluetooth module running through the standard media unit but even then it’s 19 year old screen tech etc so by going for a Tesla style unit, I would be upgrading all of the kit at once!
Nice work on the roof lining , well done with it. The car look immense. Not sure about putting a Tesla type screen in it but it’s yours to do what you want with. Enjoy.
There was a 'check lights' warning on screen, but even if there wasn't, i would always repair it. My approach is that if I am going to sell something (even if not for a few months) everything has to be functional and working correctly as i wouldn't be prepared to sell something less than as good as it can possibly be!
Nice one! Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be a “pup”😂. I have a pending headliner job coming up on my BMW E82, so watched this with interest (as well as other YT how-to videos) and I still don’t really fancy it!
I’ve been lucky enough to travel in these cars a lot and they are truly fantastic. I’d never really thought of owning one until I parked next to one a few weeks ago and realised it’d probably be cheaper to buy than the ancient car I was driving. I mean, no one buys a Bentley and expects it to be cheap to run, do they!? 😅
Exactly! I think what puts a lot of people off is despite the appealing price point, the ongoing running costs and maintenance can be a bit eye watering!Id say you have to be a bit handy to be able to keep costs sensible!
DO NOT, and i repeat DO NOT!!!!!! change the alloys, the original alloys are garbage. Get some Bentley center caps and you'll be laughing.... plz lol Keep up the good work, cracking videos bro 🎉🎉
@@JohnnyGetsCash muscular. I see why you like it, it gives the Driver a serious, yet action packed image. I look forward to see more of it in your care!

Bodgers of the world have a lot to answer for. This isn’t some old beat up Vauxhall Astra they were working on, I just don’t get the approach. Do a job properly, whatever it is you are doing and if you can’t, step aside and let someone who can do it.

It certainly doesn't looks it's age! I'm hoping that it will be one of the better examples out there once I have finished with it!
Er, wow. Lovely car! You deserve it, enjoy. Some of Bentley’s design choices leave something to be desired though.
Stunning and the factory wheels are perfect. Air bags are up though.

I'm delivering in penzance on Thursday Jon, might swing by on my way home, try and sell something for the NW ❤
What an amazing job... Wow
I owned a Continental Flying Spur, at that time, the best car I'd ever owned or worked on, just staggering ability for a 2.5t car. Enjoy sir 👌🏻👌🏻
You’re right, there is a surprising amount of oomph in such a big old unit!
Another one where Johnny smashes it!👍
Nice repair 👍.
Great purchase, these are such cool cars it's mad how 'cheap' they are.
True, although id imagine a very cheap example would be such a headache that it wouldn’t take long for buyers remorse to set in 😂
Nice pick johnny kid 👏 we like 👍 keep up video content it is Sunday after all
Nice one! Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be a “pup”😂.
I have a pending headliner job coming up on my BMW E82, so watched this with interest (as well as other YT how-to videos) and I still don’t really fancy it!
If you do decide to go for it, I wish you the best of luck as it can be a bit of a pig, but very rewarding when done!
Congrats it looks bl&&dy brilliant you should be proud! could you provide a link of the headliner spray you used?
Thank you! The adhesive was simply an off the shelf spray contact adhesive (In my case, from Toolstation by a brand called 'EverBuild')
Before you mention it was your own plate on the car I thought it was coincidence that you'd buy a car with a Chop Up plate on it 😂
If I’d seen a car with that plate already on it, I’d have bought it regardless - just for the plate 😂
Cheers on getting your dream car m8 :)

When I worked on cars, bodywork mostly, if anybody even said the words roof lining I ran the other way as fast as possible.
I don’t blame you!
I really hope the other vehicle is a Subaru WRX wagon 🤞
I was pleased with myself for cracking the clue! Haha
Great car for you.
