Sometimes it's good to look away, to evade ones eyes.
Or maybe just a quick glance to say you have seen it.
That's as much of a warning as you are getting for this feast that is the Bentley Monte Carlo.
The Bentley Monte Carlo was designed by DRA, Design Research Association from Warwick and built in Coventry by Motor Panels, like the Bentley Imperial.
It is coachbuilt off the Bentley Continental R chassis and is presumed to contain the SuFaCon twin L Series V8 engine.
It is a hardtop convertible, where the roof panel can be removed, and an aero panel can be put in place.

Yes, it has a retro styling theme.
Displayed here in the Black Room Gallery in Brunei.
The rear quarter angle is challenging to look at.
But if you are in Monte Carlo, what does it matter.
Green on green is a strong first spec to build.

A second Bentley Monte Carlo was displayed in the Black Room in 2001.
That is a lot of angle with this design.
It has standard 18"Bentley Azure wheels of the period.

There were no pictures taken in 2001 of this car.
From a previous picture we know that this car is black.

We are now in Garage 1 Level 1, where a significant percentage of the coachbuilt Bentleys are stored.
Yes, there are 2 Bentley Monti Carlo cars in a row in this picture.
That is a Bentley Pegasus Estate next to the Bentley Monte Carlo.
In front of the Bentley Monte Carlo is a Bentley Bucanneer.
Try and guess how often that massive hardtop comes off.

This is again in Garage 1 Level 1.
The red car trying not to look at the Bentley Monte Carlo is a Bentley Silverstone.
That's probably a Bentley Continental Turbo behind it.

The final Bentley Monte Carlo is in Big Mac spec of yellow on red.
This yellow Bentley Monte Carlo is in the Yellow Room, because it is yellow.
It's on the ground floor, and you can see a Bentley B3 to the front of it.
That whole roof comes off remember, then you place another panel over the rear parcel shelf.
An artistic look at me, don't look at me shot.
And yes, that's mould in the interior, which was common for cars stored in the Yellow Room in 2001.
I think I've looked at the Bentley Monte Carlo enough for today.
But I absolutely love that it exists!
