BENTLEY SPOTTING

Three Westminsters

Kenjonbro saw HMS Westminster today in London:

But he's also spotted the Mayor of Westminster's Park Ward Seraph a number of times (not today, though)...

Here are kenjonbro's Rolls-Royce shots:

Just brilliant!

I took this 'ordinary' Silver Shadow II shot in Westminster 1981. Nice car - a bit dirty though.

Bon Voyage, Westminster.

80s style

Here's another photo from our friend Juergen...

It's a Bentley S1 Continental pictured in London:

The Opel Manta GTE, Ford Cortina MK IV and VW Beetle in the background date the photo from the mid-to-late 80s. So the S1 Continental would have been around 30 years old at the time.

It's quite strange to think that today in central London you've probably got more chance of seeing a Bentley S1 Continental than an Opel Manta or Ford Cortina....they've all gone.

But there are still a few Bugs about.

Thanks to Juergen for the photo.

Rolls Royce Wraith at Geneva Motor Show

Here is the Rolls Royce Wraith at Geneva Motor Show.

I wonder which lucky person got to buy this exact car?

I can see the ad in 25 years time "Geneva Motor Show actual car" extra $$$ please.

Thanks alexsmolik for the upload.

Chinese Wedding Cars

In China they seem to do wedding cars a little bit differently.

Not just a nice Rolls-Royce or Bentley for the Bride and Groom, but guests are to bring their own supercars along for the show.

Let's check out some examples.

I was surprised to see those Silver Seraphs. That must be old world Chinese wealth from the 1990s.

Now this video comes with a discription.

A true supercar wedding in my own city Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province.

Zhejiang is where all your lighters, handbags, nail clippers, ash trays, plastic tableware and toothbrishes come from.

A lot of businessmen got very rich over there. At this wedding, you see young rich friends came by with many other Lambo's, Ferrari's, Rolls Royce's and more.

This video was recorded from my friend's Maserati Quattroporte.

I hope you enjoyed your special day!

Trafalgar Square Daily Pictures

Our new friend Ken Brown travels to Charing Cross Station every day.

His shots are amazing. I check them every day too...

This Flying Spur is from this past Sunday:

Newer stuff:

Check it daily:

Ken, you're doing a great job.

I was there thirty years ago (with film) - here's one of mine in the same area from 1983 .

Ken's shots are brilliant.

This is the Nigerian Embassy's car.

Here's my shot from '81. It may be a different Phantom. My shot has no Everflex roof...

And the Royal escort cars...

Move aside:

Ken, you're the best.

As New T2...

Have you always liked the idea of owning an immaculate Bentley T2?

I have.

Are you actively looking for such a car at the moment?

If so, you need to give P&A Wood of Great East, Dunmow, Essex, UK a call – they are currently offering a March 1979 example finished in walnut brown with beige leather piped in brown.

Here are some pics:

It has full history with 2 owners and has covered just 12,000 miles from new.

A very nice "As New T2"…

C'est tres jolie

I've just found this photograph of a Phantom Coupe Series II on the web and though it worth sharing:

The satellite dish on the side of the building spoils the composition a little, but its still very nice....

C'est tres jolie!

Car and Driver Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible

Here is Car and Driver magazine's test of the 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible.

This is a little harsh. What is coming out his mouth is very good, but this is video - you need to get the look right as well!

Please take off the baseball cap and sun glasses when filming, it projects limited credibility like you are trying to hide from someone at the airport, or hanging around a high school.

Please pull down those jeans a little bit Harry high pants, don't tuck your shirt in so tight and don't wear socks with loafer driving shoes.

I was hoping that his interior presentation would be better - thankfully that sun glasses and hat left the building, but in came a pullover jumper straight from Accountants R Us!

Then when he is in the back seat, you cop a eyeful of Jerry Sienfield style 1990's old sneakers! Should have stuck with those loafers.

Wow, I am being harsh. It's actually a very good informative review!

I just don't see this guy as a Bentley GTC Speed driver, looks more like a Corvette man to me, especially with the reference to the American football players girly pads in a Bentley review.

Should watch Aussies rules mate. They don't use soft pads when they tackle. They're tough Australians.

Hurricane Force

Hurricane Sandy was a powerful tropical cyclone that devastated portions of the Caribbean, Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States during late October 2012....

It is currently the largest Atlantic hurricane on record with winds spanning 1,100 miles or 1,800 kms. In the United States, Hurricane Sandy affected 24 states, including the entire eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine. Damage was particularly severe in New Jersey and New York with flooding to streets, tunnels and subway lines and power outages across both cities.

This 2001 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible, chassis 1CX65857, suffered water damage in the New Jersey floods and is currently on offer through Insurance Auto Auctions.

The exterior looks a little dirty…
