I like the straight to the point YouTube Channel for this Review.

Bentley Continental GT 這幾年來在豪華跑車市場極為暢銷，它在2007年幫助Bentley這個品牌達成創廠­以來首度全球年銷售突破萬輛的耀眼成績，Continental GT可算是Bentley 車廠史上最成功的車款。繼Continental GT W12之後，這次所引進售價只要1098萬的Continental GT V8 可說是全Bentley 車系裡面最入門的車款！

Bentley Continental GT V8是比較針對年輕族群的設定，讓Bentley產品入手門檻更低，永三汽車表示希望­透過較為活潑改變以及接近千萬出頭的售價，來吸引到35~45歲的頂級消費客群的吸引­力。不過這並不代表V8車型就失去了原本Bentley該有的奢華品味，這款車還是保­有頂級GT跑車該有的特色而且添加更多年輕化的動感元素。

But this does not mean to lose the original V8 models Bentley luxury taste of the others, this car still retains some characteristics of the top GT coupe and add more dynamic elements younger.

Rolls-Royce Corniche Ute

Sorry, what did you say? A Rolls-Royce Corniche Ute?

Yes that's right.

It's absolute madness. And so Australian mate.



Weirdly, I think they have actually done a good job getting the lines right with the ute.



Often utes are note quite balanced on a Silver Shadow body, due to the continuous slope of the body.

But with the Corniche body, well it works!



Using the photos, I was also to find it on Google Street view.

Yep the car is still parked there!

Go have a tour around the second largest inland city in Australia, Toowoomba, in South-East Queensland.

Pretty special stuff.

Bentley Turbo R Art Car

I need some help here.

This car has been spotted - a Bentley Turbo R Art Car.



It eye opening to see art cars on the road.



I really enjoy it when people do what they want.



Is that COLLMANN 13 on the back? I have no idea.



If anyone knows any info about this car, please send it in.

London Spotting

Team Bentley Spotting member Andy was London Spotting in the last fortnight.

Here is what he saw.

This one is quite late 1990's.



Nice combo of 2 transport options.



I do like this colour - and the numberplate is a bit cool.



It's summer in London, time to get the Corniche out please.



I do like the long wheel base car with small rear window.

And the gutters also really like the wheels.



This is also an extended wheels base.



And how cool is this! An early Silver Shadow parked on Pall Mall in 2013. Just great. Still looks absolutely stunning and appropriate.



If you need two turbos to get away this one is a option.



Thanks Andy again for the great photos!

3D Bentley Driving

Now this is pretty cool.

Check out some 3D Bentley Driving. Computer game style.

It gets better as the video progresses. You really feel part of it.



City Car Driving is the software, with a Bentley Continental GT modification.

Summer Car Spotting in Monacco

Summer in Monacco.

Alexsmolik is a well known French car spotter and popped himself down to Monacco.

Here is what he saw.



Very, very cool

Rolls-Royce Wraith Spotted

Check this out!

How great is it that the new Rolls-Royce Wraith can now be spotted on the road.



Thanks Andy for pulling out the camera phone for this one.

Can't wait till I see this in real life.

Then in 20 years when it's only 10% of its initial purchase price when I buy one.

Waiting for 2033, when I'll put the 2023 wheels on it, and paint them yellow.

White cars on the Cote D'Azur

Team Bentley Spotting member Andy has just been on a holiday to the Cote D'Azur.

As it's summer the convertibles come out to play.

And this year it's all about white convertibles.



Nice to have a chauffeur drive you around in your Bentley Azure on the Cote D'Azur.



That polished bonnet is stunning.



Quite a nice new Bentley.



How about a Series II Phantom with aftermarket white wheels?



Now if you don't want to get sun burnt, it's ok to get a hardtop.



And this one is fine.



As is this. In white of course.



Great photos as always Andy - I hope you had an enjoyable holiday.
