You haven't driven until you've driven this baby. Only, I won't offer you a drive either......and don't touch for goodness sake Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, to be sure, old stuff with noooooooo power anything will not impress me, BUT, if you are happy that is all that counts............... Perhaps you need a lesson about Bentleys. Plenty of power 178 bhp, 4,887 cc overhead inlet and side exhaust valve inline six-cylinder engine with twin SU carburetors

Whatever. Nothing comes close to my 1953 Bentley R type Continental Sports. Never been driven in the rain. I'm the 2nd owner. i love it. Wasn't the 1953 model the Walt Fairlady version? You can pay upwards of a million quid for one in good condition, so make fun all you like, chances are mr duck, you won't get the pleasure unless you are a bit nicer to me

How dare you. You will never have the pleasure of seeing her if you speak like that. She's a motoring masterpiece I do believe she's only 1800kg.....many parts moulded from pure alloy.

Must admit those twin su sgave me a nostalgic twinge or two. She's beautiful. I had the garage modified when I got her, it's now fully climate controlled, so there's no moisture, dust or nasty substances in her den. She is covered with a silk woven cloth. when I take her outside, it's a fine weather drive. crowds gather when I park. its a live affair like no other

THE R-TYPE CONTINENTAL: “A MODERN MAGIC CARPET” That is like real estate talk. It just means it is a dust catcher.
