What a beauty! I'm yet to find the first color or angle, which does not suits this car. Indeed, she holds an amazing presence!

OMG. That is terrible. I have still never seen one of these, ever. Not in a showroom, auto show or on the road. It is the most elusive, exclusive car in the world for me.

terrible two-tone. Just terrible on an otherwise beautiful car

Worth a thread revival for how stunning this example is. With 430 examples made, this will be a high value collector car in the next few decades.

With the state of shambles car design has largely become, the ability for a car design to make a big statement with a forced motif somewhere is a lost art. The smooth lines on the Brooklands literally can’t be replicated by machine.

Services and parts expenses no object, I’d have the & a pre-facelift Mulsanne Speed in my garage. If you want tech just use your phone so you can enjoy craftsmanship and actually use it as a car rather than a rolling computer, which will be dated within 10 years anyway.

The facelift Mulsanne, I felt Bentley gave in to sales pressure from the Ghost just below pricing & Phantom above in price, and they wanted to upmarket the Mulsanne to directly compete with the Phantom from packaging standpoint, which in part lead to it’s demise.

Another car I’ve never seen in person.

What many people don’t know is that you can have CarPlay and Android auto retrofitted to very old cars. Most of the time the aftermarket solutions from aliexpress connect to your phone more reliably and faster than OEM. They are wireless too and come with a built in more powerful amp. Today some car manufacturers don’t even offer android auto.

"Old World", lavishly hedonistic, "personal luxury" beauty. A "Real Deal" so to speak. Not a quasi-facsimile of a volume luxury segment product with more makeup and perfume.

That's a bit harsh. Currently Bentley aren't that bad despite vw parts. However with the exception of the currently flying spur no models are as sleek as Brooklands.

I was not at all referring to current Bentley vehicles. In retrospect, perhaps I should have made that more clear.
