Do send me some pictures of the CL600....
Bentley Continental for me are just such a meh experience. Very VAG in switch gear, it doesnt have much personality. I'd much rather find an S65, CL65 or even an SL55 AMG.
I was looking at CL500, Bentley Continental GT and Porsche 911 back in 2011/12 - I'm still very happy with the choice I made and think I "won" on the maintenance and residual.I agree, very much an overhyped experience and should be more for a Bentley, despite wearing a different coat, the driving experience isn’t anything special. The post 2018 is nice and much more like it.

A very good reason to avoid it. Awful car.Will be it was based on the VW Phaeton
Don’t know what you mean by a Continental R but the Continental is one of the cars I trade in.
It’s a posh Audi A8 but, the main issues are that the engine bay redefines tightly packed! Seriously it’s like a gangbang under the hood. It will make a v8 look like child’s play! I have come across 2 low milers with head gasket issues and when having spoken to a specialist he said that they have seen a few at low and high mileages! They are common for misfires. I had to get sensor or small pump put right put right on one a few years ago and the front end and wing had to come off! Everyone I have flipped I’ve had to get a radiator on as part of work to make it the best as they split quite easily.
A bit of a dinosaur unless you get a 2018 onwards. I’d say go for at least the GT speed model and genuinely consider a super sport if you are genuinely serious. I’ve found the older ones hard to shift even if they are great and the 2015 onwards is where you get more serious buyers and then again at 2018 onwards, which is worth nothing if you only plan to keep one a short time.
I'm not talking about getting one of those awful pieces of cr@p. I'm talking about a Continental R which was made in the 90s.Funnily enough this popped up on my YouTube list this morning which made interesting viewing especially if you are thinking of owning one:

We tried one and we were both very underwhelmed.A very good reason to avoid it. Awful car.
I expect that you'll need a specialist for that age of Bentley, but I like it.We tried one and we were both very underwhelmed.
I think i've narrowed it down to a Continental R or an S63 Coupe.
We're lucky to have a specialist just down the road in Peterborough.I expect that you'll need a specialist for that age of Bentley, but I like it.
I couldn't agree more.I think that the interior of the 215, especially the CL600 is more plush than that of the 216, all be it a little dated.
It's definitely in the running.So far I'm preferring the S63 Coupe on looks and finish although boot space is less, to the 216. Dynamically, with ABC it's just as pin sharp in handling as the 215 and 216. Prices for the 217 S63 are coming down. Yes they run on 98 octane petrol and new front discs are pricey, but if your mileage is low then its not really an issue. If you're not keen on an electronic dash (no real gauges) then you may not like it, but with HUD you don't need to look at it.
Well it is up for sale.Would look nice sitting next to the SLR
