Bentley vs Plane

Watch the latest corporate video from Bentley Motors.

The 0:08-0:09 acting of Mr Bell reminds people to stick to their day job.



They needed a watch to compare the times of both machines obviously.

Bentley Arnage T Le Mans Mulliner

I do like it when people go all out and get what they want.

When you go to Bentley Mulliner you certainly can customise the details.

Without any respect for subtly.

Take a look at this Bentley Arnage T Le Mans Mulliner.



The photo quality is rubbish, but have you noticed the colour?



This is a two tone blue. Squint, that is a darker blue on the bumpers, grill surround and sides.



I quite like it. The Union Jack is on all Le Mans Arnages, as is the wing vent. Sure all Bentleys come with coloured brake callipers.



Now this is where Bentley Mulliner really comes into its own. At the owners request, the answer should be yes.

How good is this interior. It's just great.



I want this piece that colour and that piece this.

I want a machine turned alloy dashboard, but I want a wooden centre console.



I want the Bentley logo on the upper seat back. I want the Bentley logo on the head rest.

But that would mean that they are repeated? I don't care, that's what I want.



The colour combo is quite stunning.



Absolutely no consideration of resale value required in this Bentley Mulliner order!



I totally would have it!



For sale for £69,995 here.

Thanks Nigel for sending in the link.

Spoiled Again

Well, here she is 'bespoilered'. Covering up all the ugly bits.

I am really pleased with the outcome. The Lucas Square Eight foglamps with their covers finish it off.

'Salanising' still in progress - looking good.

Making my nice car REALLY nice...

 

Thanks to Rodd Sala for the fantastic work at http://www.parkwardmotors.com/

'Bentley' Phaeton W12...

Spotted in northern Illinois today.

A W12 VW Phaeton sporting a nice set of Bentley alloys.

Purchased cheap from a guy on a bike who delivered them one at a time, perhaps...?

Not so.

They're easily found on Ebay because nobody seems to like factory alloys on their Bentleys anymore. You can't have your GT looking just like your neighbour's car, right?

The Royal motorcade at Royal Ascot

Quite a nice look at the Royal motorcade at Royal Ascot.

And yes, the band is playing Dancing Queen as the Queen leaves in her Bentley.

A look inside Crewe

Quite a good look inside Crewe, including a peek at Bentley Mulliner with the construction of a Bentley Arnarge RL with division.

Not something you see every day!



Refrigerators should be standard.

Bentley Turbo RT Mulliner in China

Well the HKSAR of China to be precise.

With all the duck, chicken, pork, beef combination special fried rice features. And some special meat from Shenzhen SAR if you know what I mean.



Its got bonet scoops, wing vents, fog lamps, chrome front lamp surrounds, chrome grill surround, matrix grill, 17" 5 spoke wheels, Mulliner flaired wheel arches, side skirts and HKSAR specific front windscreen mounted stickers to get you into both the country club and the golf club. The country club probably has a golf club, so maybe the last bit I made up.

It is such a cool car. It just needs race spots like the brochure.



And maybe chrome wing mirrors to have the lot.

Here is another view of the car spotted by Flickr user Daryl Chapman.



Not quite sure if this car has a small rear window, but I hope it does.

I also want it to have a back seat mounted speedo like SCBZP26CWCH66731 here.



Or SCBZP25COWCX66743 here if you prefer a darker wood.



Or maybe it is even turned aluminium like this one here.



Fingers crossed!

Bentley at Le Mans

Go Team Bentley.

Thanks to John Worland for filming it, and sharing.



It's a good one.

Grand Theft Auto Bentley Arnage T Crash Testing

This is a bit trashy, but still cool.

Ever felt like crash testing a Bentley Arnage T. How many flips do you think it could do? Go on, test yours.

Well, not in real like, on the computer. The game is Grand Theft Auto 4.



The fly through of the interior at the end of the video really shows how realistic the CGI is.

80s Hooper Corniche from Qatar in Paris in the 80s

In subtle white. Make that Colombian marching powder white. Wait a tick, check the number plate, Arabian robe white.

With a dabble of appropriate gold trim of course. Gotta love the 80s.



Have a look here, a period 1980s photo of a Hooper & Co modified Rolls-Royce Corniche with Qatar plates parked out the front of a hotel in Paris.

Make that the Hôtel InterContinental - rue de Castiglione - Paris for specifics.



Extra lights, extra action, colour coding, gold bits and pieces, this car is winning.

The Hotel is now The Westin, with some standard S classes out the front. Disappointing.

It looks like it was more interesting in the 80s.

Thanks Andy for finding the photo.
