Bentley Mulsanne/Rolls Royce Silver Spirit based Convertibles

In the style of a previous post here, which features the largest gallery of Bentley Continentals with coloured vains, all in different colours, photographed from the same angle; comes the largest gallery of Bentley Mulsanne / Rolls Royce Silver Spirit based Convertibles in the world. Until someone proves otherwise.

I just need to get a handkerchief to catch my dribble.

Big claim, but pictures of these cars are special. Non factory coachbuilt cars are bloody hard to come by.

Nineteen yes 19 different Mulsanne/Turbo R/Silver Spirit based cars that when you look up you see the sky.





































With this many together you could almost think that it is normal.

I have seen more, there was white four door complete cut that was for sale in Sydney Australia a few years ago. Could not find the pictures thought. Another has turned up on ebay UK but the photographs were rubbish.

This gallery will grow when I come across, or when people send in, more pictures of convertible Mulsanne/Silver Spirit based cars.

Inside The Crewe Factory

Photography inside the modern Crewe factory is extremely limited.

It is simply not allowed, even of official factory tours for potential buyers.



So here are some photographs from inside the modern Crewe factory.



Now lets compare with the older Crewe factor when they first started to produce Bentley motor Cars there.



It has developed a little bit since Bentley started in Cricklewood.



The original Bentley boys.



Lets have a bow peep at Goodwood.

Very Aussie, very Queensland. It's a blokes car mate. Goes anywhere, and it's a Rola.



Shilbe right.





Yeah mate good one. I'll givya 39 grand if ya through in a slab a VB mate.



Have a look at the advertisement at www.carpoint.com "It's highly unlikely you will meet another Rolls-Royce whilst bush-bashing in this spectacular creation and will certainly be riding in more comfort than the rest of the off-road crowd. "

At least it is a little more discreet than this American version.

Bentley Continental T Design Sketches

Lets take a look at the Bentley Continental T Design Sketches.



Now for the comparison. It is pretty spot on.



The side profile. Wheels are always bigger on design sketches.



It hold true here.
