Winter in Toronto....

Four shots from this weekend.

The weather is frightful but they still drive their cars.

A new Ghost 2.

New Flying Spur

Mulsanne.

GTC.

I do hope they get washed every day.

2015 Toronto Auto Show

Bentley Motors and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars at the 2015 Toronto Auto Show.

The local dealer Grand Touring Automobile displayed a new Bentley GTC Speed and a new series 2 Rolls-Royce Ghost.

I love the Bentley's colour. Thinking it's called 'Furnace'...?

This is the first series 2 Rolls-Royce Ghost I have seen. The easiest identifying feature is the new headlamp.

And the car had a very obvious coachline which I really haven't noticed on a Ghost before.

Body coloured centre cap on the alloys - nothing new, but nice.

 I do wish they could but a full deep grille shell (a la Phantom 4 door) on the Ghost - not just the 'stick on' front.

This car also seems to have a RR logo with no black lettering.

Ooops, just been spotted by Security!

Chinese Eye.

In time for Chinese New Year celebration, this politically incorrectly nicknamed Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Mulliner Park Fixed Head Coupé that I know so well is now up grabs - thanks to Rodd Sala's Park-Ward Motors.

The Silver Cloud  'Chinese Eye' with it's downward angled double headlamps.

A stunning car, very well known in RROC circles.

The photos say it all....

Incredible underneath. Powder coat and cadmium plated bolts.

Meticulously maintained by it's owner for the past fifteen years.

Multiple show winner.

And it even comes with it's awards. A sample shown here.

This is one worth having, if you can.

Rolls-Royce confirms new SUV

Here is an open letter from Rolls-Royce confirming announcing the addition of a SUV or 4x4 vehicle.

"Today we confirm that we are developing an all-new Rolls-Royce with exceptional presence, elegance and purpose:

•A car that offers the luxury of a Rolls-Royce in a vehicle that can cross any terrain
•A car that meets our customers’ highly mobile, contemporary lifestyle expectations
•A Rolls-Royce that is as much about the pioneering, adventurous spirit of Charles Rolls as it is about Sir Henry Royce’s dedication to engineering and innovation
•A car that appropriately reflects Rolls-Royce’s brand promise of effortless luxury
•A high-bodied car, with an all-new aluminium architecture
•A unique new motor car worthy of carrying the Spirit of Ecstasy into the future"




And if you don't believe me, here is the link to the Rolls-Royce website.

Bentley at Bathurst 12 Hour 2015

Here is the Bentley Motors Bathurst 12 Hour video summary.

It was a great weekend and a thrill to be there and watch Bentleys race.



Well done to all those involved.
