This is an unusual car. Once owned by let's say by an unusual guy. Michael Jackson.

I have a fond spot for the Bentley Motor Car marque and often stumble across Bentleys that I find interesting. My plan is to post pictures and comments of Bentley cars that I observe both on the Interweb, and in real life.
Historically the Bentley has been the sporting man's Rolls-Royce, so when I am not feeling sporting I may post about Rolls-Royce cars.
Fellow RR&B enthusiasts David Irvine and Andy are also helping out posting articles. Thanks guys.

This car was parked in front of the old Kenneth Cole Shoe store on the Sunset Strip for a few years. It had a "For Sale" sign in the window.
In 2008, I went to go look at the car with the intent to buy if the price was right. I had a bunch of British cars and thought it would be kind of cool to add to the collection. When I asked the person consigned to sell the car how much they were asking, he told me $100k because it was a "rare factory" turbo originally owned by Michael Jackson. I was expecting a price of $35-$40k tops before I knew about Jacko's ownership. If I remember correctly, he had some paperwork to prove ownership by Michael. I'm sure the value shot up tremendously after his death in 2009.
A legendary car owned by a legendary man!
