Bentley Brooklands reviews

The last true hand built Bentley a later day R type Continental. Only 50 RHD made watch where the price of these ends up in years to come.

When looking for your Bentley just like the car, take your time savour the moment and look for the specification, colour and well maintained vehicle that will be out there. You can pick up a reasonable example for as little as 5K and you may be lucky but be prepared for some problems ahead. I've enjoyed every second behind the drivers wheel, the car turns heads and nearly everybody who walks by will want to talk about the motoring luxury before their eyes. Treat it well and the 6.8 litre engine will glide you along with super smooth gear changes and a speed that can be a heart stopper when bringing a 2.5 tonne car to a stop, so drive with stopping distances in mind. Your passengers will sink into the beautiful leather, but look after it and remember to keep it treated for the best looking and crack free hide. Despite the 5.5M length the back isn't as spacious as you'd think but rarely do passengers complain as the journey sails by in comfort. Genuine Bentley parts don't come cheap and at a realistic 12MPG visiting the petrol station is a regular event, but you don't buy a Bentley if the cost at the pump is a concern, if it is then a Bentley is not for you. I use my car most days and ever time I get behind the wheel an immediate smile appears upon my face.
