The Bentley Spectre. You mean the new electric Rolls-Royce Spectre, yeah?
Umm, no. The Bentley Spectre, the one made along side the Bentley Azure by Pininfarina in 1995 and 1996.
Yeah, narr that's not a thing.
Well it actually is a thing - a total of 9 cars were coachbuilt by Pininfarina on the Continential R chassis for the Royal Family of Brunei.
In 1995 there were 6 cars made, and a further 3 in 1996.
Here are the cars made, along with the known specs.
Let's take a bow peek in the Black Room.
The Black Rooms is a dramatic car gallery in Jerudong. Brunei.
It features black carpet, a black ceiling, black drapery and black coloured lights that shine out light that is black.
Fully black.
I do really like the design. Well Pininfarina do know a thing or two about car design and convertible roofs, and this is both.
Oh, look a $20M Mclaren F1 is it's gallery neighbour in the black room.
Here is the rear quater view. That's a lot of rear light, but looks fine, it's nearly a 30 year old car design.
I do really like looking around beyond the specific car. The F1 and another coachbuilt Aston mARTIN beyond.
I have actually colour corrected all the photos so you can see the cars in more light.
Here is what the actual un editted image looks like. You just cant see the depth of the collection - but is does give you a better feel of the gallery.
The collection was curated by Prince Jefri's son Hakeem.
More of the rear. I did not do the best job with the colour correction with this image!
It's way too blue and not the Emerald Green that it is actually.
That's a Continental R interior.
It has more speakers to blast out Michael Jackson.
I do really like this car. It does not looks like an odd ball coachbuilt car, it looks like a full production Bentley.
On to the next one.
Yes, it's parked next to a Black Bentley Spectre in the Black Room gallery as well. The curator must have like this car to include it multiple times.
For the curated black effect, here is the car under the flashlight of a 2001 digital camera.
Then someone turned the lights on - and you are happy that they look good.
Hopefully it felt good.
Now from behind with the lights on. That Bentley Phoenix next to you in distracting.
Black leather is a good choice for the Berghain Black Room.
And that's powerful - you can just see the extra turbo that that large black air pipe is going to.
Surrounded by yellow on red coachbuilt Bentleys. There is a Bentley B2, a Bentley B3 and a Bentley Imperial.
That 4x4 or SUV car next to the Rav 4 in the top of the image above the a Bentley Dominator.
It's not possible to see the Bentley Dominator, without me colour correcting the images.
And yes that's mould in the interior.
Mould was common in the Yellow Room in 2001.
