Bentley Continental.

[vtaylor78]

Anyone on here ever owned one or know someone that has ?
Just asking for a friend .

I did have a look at one to buy but was put off by a dealer who said that the brake lines can rust and to replace the line that runs along the bulkhead was an engine out job and went on to say that it is a VW in fancy dress..........I still think the coupe is awesome

from which era.

What kind of sales attitude is that.....unreal

I read something a year ago , a guy had spent 24k on repairs on one of them (in 1 year) and it wasn’t exceptional stuff either .
I think everything is an engine out job

I was looking at them when I bought the 911, running costs prohibitive…

I did see a convertibbubble one yesterday, number plate was spaced “Y 5AVE”

from which era.

Probably a 12 plate onwards, I think they changed the display to touchscreen then .
And the 4L V8, or V8s.

I do know somebody that has a Bentley Continental. He, the Guy I work for, has a 2017 Bentley Continental Speed in White. To check out the details the Reg number is 1 PMO. That is the second one he has had and he loves 'em I don't have any feedback as far as running cost's though, he doesn't ever mention the car, to him it's just his daily driver, or at least his Wife's daily driver. His daily driver is a Porsche Cayenne

My friend just bought an 07 plate in May ...

I guess he wasn't a real dealer If I remember rightly it had 2 previous mot advisories on the brake line.
He said it was a big job but would reflect that in the price, he was my saviour I am sure this one was a V12?

Here's a decent Bentley 1924 3 litre Freestone & Webb Tourer:-

A friend of mine, who is a member on the "other" forum bought this one around 12 months ago now to replace an immaculate CL63. He was debating the S63 but reckoned that it was pretty much the same so decided on a change: -





Not spoken with him for a while but, as far as I'm aware, he's still impressed.

Having a holiday, enjoying the weather and the views

Why not buy a VW Phaeton cheap as chips and leaves plenty of money for repairs.
