‘There’s no way a person like me should be driving one of these things’ nah Mat, it’s ONLY people like you who should be driving these things! Well done 👍🏽
Qasim Jalil . Absolutely!!!
lmao i read your comment JUST as he said that
This was my instant reaction when I heard him say that. Never put yourself down. You deserve to drive one as much as anyone else.
U think Bentley would have done that if u was of colour......? #NO
Wholesome comment of the year! much love to all :D
Tells a lot about the company. Bentley does care for its customers. Thumbs up for bentley👍🏻
It'll care about its customers only if they have a high following.
salim shaikh had it been Tesla they would have blacklisted him already.
K W or ferrari. They would have probably also sent their lawyers after him
Imagine how bad it would look for the company if the car broke down several times during the road and everyone flamed it. This way Bentley gets a free promotion that a 15 year old car still holds up insanely good and its just good marketing for them. Bentley knows their stuff and their customers.
No, Bentley cares about PR… This guys got lots of followers, so they’ll treat him like royalty.
Someone at Bentley knows His stuff,,, Give that man a Bonus.
Apprentices
It’s their job to know the stuff...
YEAH beacuse from donor car or junk yard he can find the part for WAAAAAAAAAAY cheaper but this way bentley dont lose almost nothing giving him the car for 1 or 2 days.. HOWEVER they will make WAY MORE money fixing his car for him ! because its still bentley doesnt matter if its 2004 or if it costs 10 k .. ITS A BENTLEY and everything from bentley is expensive as fuck .. but if you fix it yourself is not that terrible actually . A lot of stuff you can find using audi and VW .
Someone at Bentley knows his stuff,,, give that man a bonus.
I meant in sales and advertising,,
You’re never gonna want to give that new Bentley Continental GT back. Stunning car. You’re a very lucky man for Bentley to have done all that for you . All that hard work has paid off
Seems he made his own luck
Total props to Bentley, luxury brand who haven’t forgotten their fans who maybe only can dream 💪🇬🇧
I think this is flipping brilliant that Bentley contacted you, and then did a review of your car. At least you also know what needs immediate attention! Nicely done Bentley...
I think they did it so if it blows up or something they don't get bad rep because press would warp it or something
Amir ali Hmm, interesting theory.
@@Amir.253 if that was the case, if it blows up now its even worse for them
Well done Bentley for introducing themselves to Mat in such a fashion 👏🏼
There’s not too many main dealerships would do that for you Mat 👍🏼
It’s is fair play but would they have done it if Mat had 1k followers,? good advertising on Bentley part, fair play to Mat
It’s not a dealership, it was the factory..
@@LK-sn4eg year too late 🫢
Some car
Too repair a car of that calibre on your driveway and only hav a few things that you missed, you’ve done exceptionally awesome Matt, you definitely are a SPANNER HEAD, well done sir, hopefully your trip goes well as it’s a bucket list journey for myself, well jealous, made even more sweet in a car you’ve brought back to life. Well done Matt, much love, great channel folks you all need subscribe.
He ain't no spanner head funniest comment I've seen lol his work is cheap and nasty lol that cuts corners
He still going to try and drive it down to the south of France with a busted engine mount, loose pipes etc, not a hero in my eyes.
DIY repairing one of these has got to be one of the most difficult things anyone can do. They’re just sooooooooo complex and don’t take kindly to shade tree tools.
Maybe if we get him over 1 mill subs he can get the new Bentley
Bentlehh*
@@andrewg0869 oh how could I get it wrong 😂
@Toby Williams true but that means he will get recognised more
@Toby Williams More subs means bigger sponsors perhaps?
Zair Rufian, yes you're right. He deserves many more subscribers and he deserves the cars, he provides us with the content and in return he gets paid from TH-cam, buys the cars and provides us viewers with his content, we win and he wins and everyone is happy 🙂
You just a whole vibe Mat with a high sense of humor.
Lol no
Fair play Bentley. And no Matt, people like you SHOULD be driving a Bentley. You know why. Because you appreciate everything about them. End of.
Ghanaian
I felt your pain with that fender price 😂🤦♂️ shows that it doesnt hurt to ask
i live about 15 minutes from Crewe. If i go on a night drive, ill sometimes go past there. the showroom even from the outside is gorgeous.
Cameron Evans I drive past it everyday to work 😂
Lewis080 I like to pretend that I’d rather have my 350z, but I’d be lying to myself
Cameron Evans a 350z is a really cool car though, no shame in owning that!!
What a legend you already are, if Bentley contacts you in stead of you having to ask them to check your ride!!
Matthijs , wouldn’t have looked too good if the abortion had broken down on the way. I bet they all had hysterics 😂when you dropped it off.
You’re absolutely right Mat, someone like you should not be driving a car like that.
Have a safe trip.
haha nah they actually really liked it and was refreshing for them to see something different to the usual bentleys they have in the workshop. Alot of the technicians all started off the same way as me so they appreciate the hardwork it takes
I've owned 2 Bentleys,, I've actually been to the showroom you were in..
And they are spot on with the parts,, 100%...For a Main dealer they are ridiculous cheap, (compared to other main dealers).... Great Great video.. Its no wonder Bentley got involved,, credit to you... Fantastic.
Is that all parts are cheaper at the dealership
so are all Bentley dealers the same price? I need two of the fenders that Matt has on his and I would like the ones that he was talking about with the vents. Would gladly pay the price he quoted in the video....
I just don't know why you don't have 10 times more subs. Definitely my favorite car youtuber, follow you since de S5, never miss one video. Great content and entertaining. Looking forward to seeing the Bentley driving in Monaco!
I appreciate that!
Mat my guy, all the way from South Africa. very proud of you
Brooo 🙌👍
get to Monaco safely my G
Amazing close up camerawor
He will
Seriously you are just on another level compared to other youtubers. I don’t remember the last time I enjoyed someones videos as much as yours.
You keep surprising us with amazing content and honestly you deserved something like this to happen given all the hard work you’ve put through the years.
Love it Mat, you've worked hard to get the recognition; glad Bentley took note 👍
Hey Mat, just recently found you last week. I binge watched over weekend and again yesterday & today. I took 2 days off in between Superbowl, work emails and my dad’s birthday 🎉today. You are amazing. Much love to you and your family from me down under
Love the content and effort. The video coaching is definitely paying off! 😉 Nice to see a real approach to owning / running a Conti. Keep it up and enjoy your trip. Cheers.
So much time and effort that goes into these videos 👏 good to see you picking up the recognition you deserve
I'm also from South Africa, been watching since the TT 😬
Keep up the great work, you make us the viewers feel part of every step you take as if its our own car 🔥😍
Your smile says it all mate. Its good to see nice things happen to ordinary blokes. Nice one.
3:42 no words needed the smile says it all about the car. . Awsome car and a great channel, keep on uploading and thanks.
Wasn't expecting a busted engine mount, better be carefull out there on your trip to Monaco mate 🙏
"Is 4 cylinders missing.."
Instant sub! 😭😂 Love Bentley!
Greetings from Switzerland :)
absolutely love your videos man, the energy that comes through is amazing - Keep Going!!!!
Great video, looking forward to hearing about the trip.
Respect to Bentley, how many main dealers would do this!? The car looks awesome Mat, no way looks like a 10K motor!
Gorgeous car and a great advert for Bentley- stuff like this might just swing it for people like me who are on the fence about getting one but scared of big maintenance costs. Cheers and enjoy Monaco 👍
Honestly everyone there was flippin awesome and i have a 15 year old bentley! can't imagine what the service would be like if i had one from new! would love to experience it
Good luck with your trip to Monaco. Been there 8 times and love the place, it does something to your soul when you are there. Top work getting this awsome beast back to its best!
I've spent a weekend watching these. I've just turned 80 (and that was kind of depressing). At 80 you can sense the tunnel at the end of the light. Nothing to do but enjoy myself as best I can. Matt is infectiously excited by all these things and that's catching. I have enjoyed every clip. 17 years ago I toyed with the idea of a Bentley. I called Crewe and asked "can I cross your palms with £££ and hire one for a day test drive. They said why not. When I got there they said "Oh we thought you meant you HAVE a Bentley and you want one of our drivers to come out with you. No. "Oh well don't worry - go and sit down let's have a look at this" 30 mins later a man in a grey sweater arrived in a Blue Metallic car and said Jump in . 300 miles later I had put it through its paces. 10 years later at Bentley in Colchester the man in the grey sweater said "hello Mr L - haven't see you for a while" They were were doing a Bentley weekend at the dealership and he remembered me. Bentley are a smallish firm populated by a very nice work force dedicated to their product.
I drive a CL500 which is lovely I but I saw an Arnage final series. I found one but didn't keep it even though it only had 22k.
Bentley could have fixed your car for all the free advertising they got.
Yeah, no one heard of Bentley before this video- they might build a good reputation now Matt has featured them
@@ifyouarefeelingsinister hahahaha haha 😂 👌
I was thinking the very same thing. Not so much the engine mount ,but while they were there they could have secured the other items.
Its not a dealer its the main production factory here in crewe dont mend them .. build them. Dont even make the parts here .. just put it all together .. with exception of the walnut dash matches etc and the leather .. but mechanically no.. so wouldn't have a spare part handy.. all accounted for . They only build cars that are already sold
Maybe like so others out there, I’m so surprised that Bentley didn’t fix those few items for Mat! Would have been a fabulous PR move and to ensure the car is totally safe for its trip to Monaco! 🇲🇨
“Are you the ones who checked my car? I’m sorry” 😂😂😂😂🤩
It’s great to see your not bothered about getting it wrong, that’s a really strong trait. Very humble
Your channel has evolved so much in a short space of time. Really good to see big companies like Bentleh see your work.
Girlfriend: "I don't know why you don't just buy a new one."
Me: "hmmm, actually you know what, I never thought about that."
Where's the fun in that ;)
Hi my love you have been doing this last week for the day you are doing something nice and so happy you are happy and I hope that you’re having fun with your boyfriend I know that I will be doing something that is a great way for him because you are a happy birthday I know you’re busy with your family and I know that you’re going through the same day and you have to come pick up your phone and I don’t have to do that and you don’t know if they don’t want me and that you know that I don’t have you know
@@ryanbarlow4963 that gave me a headache trying to read that. Ever heard of punctuation?!
Respect to Bentley for coming out to play!
Still think the mk 3 has too much grille and odd looking headlights compared to yours and mine!
Awwww matt, that new Bentley is pure bliss, good luck on your journey can't wait to see the video. Keep up the good work your doing, i think we need someone like you doing a new car tv show. Massive thumbs up for you 👍 mate watched you from the start.
Cheers for this vid.. also a BIG UP to you for the info regarding the price of parts and where and how to get them. ALL THE BEST AND EVERY CONTINUED SUCCESS.
Must have missed a few vlogs Mat , looks totally different , you’ve done a great job on that Bentley 😜
That’s actually pretty amazing of Bentley to do that !!
Wow! Great that they reached out to you. They should have lent you the new one for your road trip! Enjoy your cruising and keep us updated!
Great video thank you. Absolute class 👍🏼😊
Too underrated and ur consistent
Congratulations - This goes to show that you should always pursue your passion no matter what!
Great video, love your honesty. Safe trip👍👍👍
Really really enjoyed this video! Thanks for putting the graft in dude!
That new one literally does nothing for me. Much more interested in what you’ve done Mat!
Autoroom21 I like the shape of Mats over the new one ,even the shape of cockpit.
“This video is sponsored by skill set” *fast forward*
Then you're missing out on some of the best car content on TH-cam. Never judge a book and all that
@@Thatannoyingvoicetoldyoutodoit he means he skips the part where there's an ad. And then watches the content
Beautiful cars, well done Mat well deserved mate. Excited for the next project!
Well done Bentley. They didn’t have to reach out and do the free inspection. Really good point about main dealer parts. Nice to see them supporting older cars rather than washing their hands of them as they are too old. Seems like they are enthusiasts rather than dealers. Really impressed. The colour alpine green is amazing.
You think Bentley would at least replace a few parts for him bearing in mind how much he’s putting their brand out there
Don't service cars here in crewe .. just build them .like an airfix kit everything comes in from Germany and is just put together . Not so much Artizan hand built anymore .. the steering wheel maybe.. everything else is honed down to about 7 minutes on each job . But thats Germans for you .. when it was rolls royce .. one person built a whole seat in one day if they were done by 3pm they went shopping or to get their hair cut ... now same seat is built by 40 people in 7 minutes ..each person doing a tiny bit each . Lot more productive but not quite as "bespoke" and artistic
DAVE crewe oh how unfortunate
Awesome vid! Fair play to Bentley for getting in touch.
Wow this is just amazing Mat.
Mate you doing great job... very cool that Bentley contacted you..... cannot wait to next video
Great video 🙌🏽 love the content and the creativity you put into them
Awesome love watching your video’s Matt. Be proud of your Bentley you’ve done an amazing job of it.
Hey Mat. I hope you are good and your trip to Monaco went well. I'm soo glad that TH-cam recommended (because I'm such a car geek😅) one of your videos to me earlier this year because after watching one, I was hooked! I love your creativity, your unique style and sense of humour. Been watching your older project such as the Audi TT and Audi S5. Absolutely inspiring and entertaining! 👌🏾Keep up the good work brother! Love❤️ from South Africa 👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾!!!
Awesome video as always mate. Fun and informative content. Your Bentley is going to have a fun drive. Shame you can’t do it in the brand new one. Stay safe and look forward to the next upload.
Im soo proud at you and your car. It is really inspiering. Love the vids and love your personality.
love the content Mat! keep going by what you doin 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Matt, massive credit is due to you. I was not keen on the Bentley when you first got the car, the way you have it now is an amazing transformation. Fair play to Bentley for loaning the car and checking yours out. Great content, great channel, don't stop.
What a top fella. So much enthusiasm 👌👍🏼👍🏼
Love The Intro, Love the Video!
Thanks Mat for amusing content
Awesome content. Good luck with the trip😁
Good to see a main dealer that actually does a proper honest inspection. Lovely motors both. And hope to see more content ASAP mat
It’s not a main dealer, it was the factory!
Mat don’t ever say there’s no way a person like you should be driving a Bentley. Mate you’re a great bloke and the love you give to cars you deserve to have any car you wish for. Good on you mate 👍
Well done for the effort,!! I enjoy being around creative and productive people!!!! Greetings from Greece
Never heard of or seen this channel before. This cropped up on recommended and I really enjoyed watching, subscribed! Look forward to going back through the buy and build!
well done matt,you only get what you deserve,keep up the great work on the videos etc
all the best.
I’ve followed this series all the way through (newcomer to the channel) as I plan on buying a circa £20k CGT later this year and then intend working on it myself. Good stuff. And the new one is lovely.
Good lad, have a good trip.
He's just such a modest, genuine charmer, bursting with juicy nice vibes - always makes me smile along with!😄
Amazing work bro! Well done on all of it! Great to see the progression and hopefully one day I can be at your level 👌🏼

Great video Matt 👍 keep up the good work 👍
Great video... seen Greg in the uncovering of the car in the showroom. He’s a fine chap 👍
