Got it on Friday 13th April

exterior: Beluga
Interior: Magnolia with piano black wood
Options:

What can I say about the car? The interior is amazing and exterior is good as well. Ride is fine as well. The car exhaust note is beautiful and it gets the looks.
Here are some pics, havent had time to take decent images, most are taken with my mobile so they are not very clear...

If anyone thinks in the title I should inclue: "56K Warning!" please say it so a mod can do it

I wish I could drive . I am only 14 years old. Vivaki might do a review but he is busy as always lol.
We didn't buy a watch with the car so no. And we did purchase from a Bentley dealer in the UK.
Supirsingly our salesman said you can get rid of 45 miles on the mileage counter but only once, he said you can do that in Bentley, Audi, Volkswagon, Buggati and some other companies, all you have to do i think is keep the reset button pressed. But he did say you can only do it once so the dealer may have already done that

P.S. I looked on Bentley.co.uk and I couldn't find any watches there???

Congrats. The Flying Spur is my favorite uber luxury sedan.

 

[DaSilva]

Congrat§!

If you can't drive, because of you're age ?

Have fun in the backseat with a chick!

Well, if you read my post in the 'Big Sedan Battle' thread you would have found out why we bought the Bentley instead of a S63 AMG/S600
It was the Bentley badge which persuaded my parents, not me even as much as I love this car I know at the end of the day it isn't as good as the S class. IMO I would give the S class 10/10 but the Bentley 9/10, sure it doesn't have the same ride quality and not all the features the S class has but the interior is just and the ride is by far good enough. Then again when you are spending that amount of money you would want the car to stand out from the crowd and the Bentley does.

Congrats on the purchase

FS is a great intimidating luxo barge
I sat in one when the Diamond Jubilee Tour hit my local Bentley dealer.

Did you look at the Phaeton ?
Sorry had to put that one in

You meant a breitling watch. I was thinking about a watch that is made by Bentley like the SLR watch (Which I think is made by MB )

No we didn't consider the Phaeton because of the badge on it If MB were as prestigious as Bentley then we would have most likely bought the S class. I am suprised that American FS price is equivalent to the S65 AMG while in the UK the price of the FS is a bit more than the S63 AMG/S600.

Are you sure . That might be in America but not in England...

Well upon a NEW purchase you also get the Breitling watch, not sure of country or if you have to order it special, but i know several owners that do have the watch as well as the car. Not certain what the prerequisites were to get the watch.

Well it was certainly a NEW purchase but I think thats something that either you get with the car in America or buyers that you have come across were impressed with the watch and ended up getting one. Nothing wrong in asking our salesman about it just to make sure

Congrats on the car! I'd take the FS over any S-Class (or 7er/A8) because it's much more exclusive and luxurious.

MB doesn't make watches. You propably mean this Tag Heuer SLR watch:

Congrats on the new car! That interior looks really droolworthy. Great choice on the interior colour and the piano black finish. I must ask though, how is that light colour maintainable especially in the horrid weather England has throughout the year.

Could you post some more pics of the center console with the divider? I never noticed that the console is depressed in rather than being integrated with the left and right sections.

 

[cawimmer430]

Damn!

You're the first Bentley owner I know!

Congrats on the new car mate!

Someone at school has the FS, so I see one pretty much everyday, and it looks awesome! Glad you haven't gone for silver, I don't think that helps one bit!

Love the interior, that's exactly the colours and wood I would have gone for!

Congratulations to such a beautiful beautiful car... ...and I really have to say, that I'm a bit envious. It would be great, if you could share some more photos of this car - the colour combination is just amazing...
I hope you'll have a lot of fun with your new purchase...
