Well I thought I was biased but this hybrid thing looks pretty darn good. So the super rich kids will get 3.0l hybrid V6 and our common kids get 2.0l hybrid inline 4 cylinders 🤷

 
Gott in Himmel. The reviews are ... modest.

Best left to the Embassies and Tech whizzes. Like all Spurs, it'll be a tiny fraction of that two or three owners down the line.
 
27,000 miles and two owners. Worth saying that it won't sell for anything moe than £40k, despite the advert.

Bear in mind that the average Bentley owner owns eight cars, so Flying Spurs aren't daily drivers.

The rich kids will have them for a good few years before trading onto newer shapes. Then theres no one to buy them on the secondhand market as they're still too scary and expensive to maintain, so they do seem to loose a lot of value and interest 🙂

 
Must admit do like Flying Spurs, can get a really nice one now for about 25k it's obviously the running costs though, and god forbid owt goes wrong. 😮🙂
Just switch to the SL and get The Staff to fix it.
 
Not in white, one hopes? Expensive, yes very, but pretty vulgar in white...

And even more so with a white interior...
 
Buddy of mine collected his brand new Bentley last year from HR Owen at Hatfield.

Not a Spur though but one of these.

That's bl00dy lovely! 🙂👍

It’s the same colour as this and it’s some piece of kit with his initials on the plate PBD1

Not sure if it’s leased or what but it’s his second but first one wasn’t a convertible.

His dads got a Bentayga.
 
What a Bentley?

I'd say a Bentley in that particular colour scheme. The current Bentley range is fairly distinctively Bentley (apart from the Bentayga, which is just another bulbous, anonymous SUV, albeit a bit squarer than most), though not nearly as good-looking as a few years ago, but you can coarsen anything with a naff colour scheme. Unless, of course, that sort of thing is to your taste, in which case it's fine. It takes all sorts.

I gather that serious watch fanciers rather look down on Rolexes for similar reasons. Quality doesn't come in to it.

Serious watch fanciers look down on Rolex because it’s too common AND poor quality.

If you’re Ed Sheeran and into million pound watches, like his Patek 2499, a $50k customised Black Bay Heritage is something you give to the support crew as a thank you after his 2019 Divide tour.

I'd wear the Tudor, but not the Patek Philippe; gaudy and tasteless. Price is irrelevant; it just doesn't look good.
 
@ Post 2 - I might be a bit dim here, but what is a Kardashian?

Bentley's are very nice cars, and i would much rather one than the Rolls equivalent, My friend purchased a Bentley Coupe ( 2008 i think ) beautiful car and surprisingly quick. I considered one myself instead of the SL, until he had a brake issues ...... ouchy

I will stick to my current cars :cool:
