I BOUGHT JIM BOWEN’S BENTLEY 

This channel has reached fookin legendary status 🤌🏻🔥😂

Before anyone gets upset. The car was not damaged making this video. 🇬🇧 Ted will personally remove negative comments. 🐶

An old Bentley is the perfect car for you. It is heavy as a tank, and the parts are as expensive and hard to get as parts for an old tank. You will love this car😂

The seller probably had it delivered on a low loader for 99.9% of the way, then drove the last mile to your house 😂

Bob Monkhoues once said “crime does pay , I’ve just seen Jim Bowen in a Bentley “. Bless them both .

Where else will you see a Bentley drifting round a tank 😂

I came along this channel recently and have watched all the back catalogue (still having no particular interest in tanks) and have come to the conclusion these guys are the of epitome of English eccentricity and long may they reign...I feel for the uncertain future of that poor Bentley.

This is what Top Gear should be. Excellent.

"mind you tail Sir", something I never thought I would hear. Your supporting cast, including Ted were all great in this. Your sense of style and humor are appreciated. Great video.

Peter Sellers had an undiagnosed squeak in his Bentley so he went to Spike Milligan and asked him to try and listen out for it and pinpoint said squeak. Sellers then suggested to Milligan if he could get into the boot and listen out for the squeak when driving slowly so he did and promised to mark any squeaky locations with a piece of chalk. So the car was driven carefully for a while until Sellers was stopped by a Policeman. He was asked why he was kerb crawling opened the boot saw Milligan thought nothing of it and let them go.

A worthy carriage for Ted

Loved Jim Bowen 😂. 'Have a look at what you could have won'

Traction control is linked to steering angle sensor. When one gets the tracking done, the steering wheel generally gets lined up to match. If previously the steering wheel had be set with unaligned wheels to the central position, (sensors are steering wheel based), then there will be a conflict of data later on. This causes the symptoms you describe. You'll need someone with access to a scan-tool with the right software to readjust the relationship between wheels and steering wheel angle (get tracking and general steering mechanism checked first). You can also trigger the ABS/Traction control system if you're a bit heavy on the throttle, because these cars have so much torque that they need the pump to run and catch a wheel trying to spin up. This will briefly light the dashboard light up by way of a gentle warning to the driver. As a general rule, don't 'cheap out' on maintenance or service parts quality, such as tyres or filters. These cars are amazingly reliable when used regularly, but also maintained to the letter. Have fun. Life is too short to miss the chance of experiencing the luxury of the extremely wealthy, before you die.

Absolute class. You are most definitely a worthy custodian of Bowen's Bentley. I'm sure he would have been impressed with your drifting. You can't beat a bit of bully.

I remember when these first came out. Wanted one so badly… and remember, they never break down. They fail to proceed…

That skit at the end was so simple yet so hilarious. Goes to show not everything on youtube needs to be extravagant to be entertaining

My old boss, Des Winks (ex British rally x champ), had a Bentley R, and complained to Bentley that the inner wing paint was being rubbed off by the bonnet during flex round corners. Bentley eventually told him to slow down. Well he did live in Yorkshire. He ended up racing in the Porsche series.

Nice motor, nice colour and a great way to represent good old England on your trip to France.

One of your best videos yet. Keep it up!

Top notch content as always. Loved bullseye when I was little, “You live in a block of flats in Birmingham, you’ve won a speedboat” 🤣

pretty sure thats the first power sliding Bentley I have seen. kudos.

I so wanted you to win a speedboat on bullseye! Can’t wait to see the Bentley with a tow bar pulling the boat along.

Did anyone else think that Joe was going to attach the tow strap to the badge bar?😂 Also Seb as chauffeur in dealer boots!😅😅😅

Whether it’s tanks or Bentleys your videos are always entertaining ! Please keep going. I’m glad Ted has a nice ride now

That gave me a good chuckle. I'm already looking forward to the adventures in foreign parts in warmer climes. I do hope that you treat the old girl with love and tenderness. She deserves to be molly coddled from time to time. ❤❤❤

Fabulous episode. The ending (Bullseye) was superb, I genuinely laughed out loud, well done Jack, you have funny bones 😂

Lucky you had the Bentley recovery vehicle! Love the tag still on the jacket too :)

You cannot beat an old Bentley! We did a 2,000 mile trip around France in an Arnage last year and it was wonderful. Best of luck with yours.

It is nice to see Ted getting the proper level of respect for his station of the team. Bravo!

You’ve nabbed my favourite spec there! Turbo R’s are wonderful old things. Quite quick and surprisingly rewarding to hustle if the mood takes you. I’ll be tackling France with my E39 later in the year, but I’m quite jealous of your chariot.

Thank you for the content. Great humour, Appreciate the effort you guys put into this, thanks.

Brilliant video! Keep these going... great humour and often today the world is lacking in this!

hilarious! lovin the nostalgia, hope you film the epic French trip in the bentley..

With all the negativity in the world, this was comedy gold. Hilarious from start to finish. I reckon you should make a Bentley pick up

Your content is chaos you live like a madman. Thank you.

Love this channel, and this is the best episode yet. More please!

What a great show!!! I smiled through the entire event!!!! The game show was awesome!!!! Jack was in his element!!!! I see a new career in his future!!! Ted’s new doghouse should be the premise of his own show. I’m sure he could devise several plots he would need to be chauffeured to. 😃👍🏻👍🏻

I hope more care will be taken of the car when transporting Ted. 🙂 A pity about the ice on the pond Joe, When you're on your knees, saying your prayers before you go to bed, have a quick word. 👍🫵👍

What a beauty - a fitting addition to your British Power team. Well Done, and Thanks to your guiding light, Ted.

You guys are the best! Bright spot of the day bay far.

I admire your bravery buying an old Bentley just to do a trip to France. Having said that I have driven to France a lot over the years and the cars I've used have been Rover, Jaguar and Land Rover. All known for their excellent reliability 🤣

You boys crack me up. Loved the ending 😂

Joe! You and the crew absolutely crack me up with laughter though you are all amazingly clever when it comes to mechanics and restoring!! By the way Joe, you did not look like Corbyn but would say more like John Boy Walton from the Waltons lol. Great channel and shows. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, you have brightened my day with laughter

Super, Smashin, Great .😂👍

I have a Discovery TD5, it has sport mode, the most optimistic button in automotive history.

Just love it , well done gang , the best you tube channel fr sure 👍💯😉

Very Clarkson esk! Great vid as ever. Keep up the good work.

Total fun film. Brilliant, thanks all. 😊👍🏻

best opening - "seeing as nobody asked...."

Dammit I just love that rising "Land of Hope an Glory" stirring in the background. Esp contrasted with everything knackered. Love you dudes. Keep it up!

Brilliant. Smashing vlog. He used to own Greenfields pub at Pontin's Morecambe, there were genuine Bullys behind the bar. My mrs got one. We kept it until we moved out of t'house 8 year ago.

My old local pub landlord drove this for Jim for a long time. My band used to play at his put at Arkholme years ago - top bloke.

Hears what you would have won A speed boat.😂

Nearly pee’s myself laughing-what a fabulous crew-every video a winner. From a Yorkshireman living ‘down under’ Greeting may you live long and so British.

I love your new wheels Ted.....make sure they look after it for you!

I suspect the ride is so rough because the spheres are knackered. Over time the nitrogen leaks out making the ride firmer and firmer. Worth considering if you plan on using it on the road. Love the channel, keep up the good work!

Brilliant video chaps

Excellent episode and will probably become one of your most watched. !! Up there with Jack as Lord Flashart

Great stuff. Good to see the Saracen and Stalwart again. Drove them many years ago !

Looks like a trip to the south of France in the Fowden is a coming up!

Super, smashing, great, lovely.....now, let's see what you could have won 😂

Just found your channel, fascinated by all the heavy equipment 🤟, you boys crack me up too!

lol never a dull moment.Good luck with the new wheels!!

Great bullseye sketch 😅. You should have wheeled out that shagged out speedboat and said "Look at what you could have won!!" I bought one of Jim Bowens suits in a charity shop. Found Three hundred quid in one pocket and a set of darts in the other! Minted.

My first thought with your get up was Harold Lloyd the legendary silent film actor (he was up there with Charlie Chaplin & Buster Keaton). The only thing that was harmed were the rear tyres during the burnout but you said that they were perished so nothing wrong with seeing them off in style. I think you did more harm to your clothes than the Bentley. I remember Bullseye back in the day (essential Sunday teatime viewing) and it was from the golden era of British TV. Super, smashing, great as the late great Jim Bowen would say. Tony Green is still alive at the ripe old age of 84.

Brilliant video well done chaps!

As clarkson would say its like power sliding a stately home . Great video 😆

“Kitchen Jim” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great video lads, very funny 👍👍👍

You bought Jim Bowens Bentley. Super, Smashing Lovely.

You lot are kin mental but please don't stop it brightens up my day.

They are super cars. I love the Arnage it's the only car I've ever really wanted. They are just pure undiluted class. This colour scheme and interior are just perfection.

The Bentley had the turbo and still only did 22mpg, bonus was the double anti roll bar to make it handle better. Plus side is. you’re not far away from flying spares. Enjoy the tyre costs fella too.😂

Stumbled upon this,don’t know how.Hilarious 😅 thank you.

Brilliant video ted looked fantastic very funny loved the darts too nice one.😂🐕🤓

Loved the careful road test. When you mechanically kill the Bentley, try swapping the body onto a Toyota Land Cruiser chassis. Then you can have the best of both worlds 😜

If you do get to tour France, you would be made welcome in Azay le Ferron! Not many tanks here but plenty of old tractors.

Super, Smashing, Nice round of applause!

Great video as usual!

Finally, recognition of Ted as the boss. Don't tell him you took the Betley off-road though...

Congratulations Mr Hughes you’ve hit the Bullseye 🎯 there with that Bentley 😂

I like how this kinda started as an episode of Top Gear, back when it was good and not with new people who made it suck. Beautiful looking car, hope it treats you well. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

dog's gotta have a Bentley, can't argue with that 👍

I loved Jim Bowen nice video

MANIAC! And that bullseye sketch at the end had me in tears 😂😂😂

They are all just as mad as last year except Ted of course. Well done you made an old man laugh.

Excellent British humour. Carry On Bentley 😂

Ted's looking quite natty in his sport coat and bowtie! 🐶

This is very different from anything else I've watched on RU-vid 😂 Great fun❤

Absolutely brilliant sir! An if the Bentley breaks down you’ve always got your BFH 😂

Hi Joseph, For some reason this episode seems quite hilarious but I can't quite put my finger on it. Personally, I don't think purchasing the Bentley as a shopping car for your girlfriend is a bad choice, although she will regret that the off-road properties do not really excel, but you can of course always drive after her with one of your tanks to take the shortest way to the shopping mall. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from The Netherlands

Surreal. Jack your talent is wasted on tanks, day time tv is your natural habitat.

love the vids keep em cominggg

I love it yellow trousers and mr Hewes is liying in a field and jums in a pond great video. For start of the year thanks

Well at least with a trip to France there will be green mineral oil available in every garage 😬

14:02 Ted at this point is thinking " they are taking me to the Vets for an injection " and " It must be a huge needle to be taking me in a Bentley with a chauffeur " ......" at least it's a Bentley and not a hearse " . If you want to know what your dog is thinking don't hesitate to ask , I have been around enough dogs to know what they say . Ted enjoy the ride and don't forget to leave a little tip on the back seat to show your appreciation .

That’s really cheered me up this morning 😂

That was good enjoyed that with the Bentley, and the last bullseye question, 😅😅 great stuff.

I've got a very similar one of these, slightly earlier (1996), slightly shorter, and almost the same colour, though mine is the metallic version which Bentley calls Wildberry Mica. I really like the colour and think it suits it well, but that's subjective of course. The wood in mine is a lighter colour too, and I don't have the picnic tables in the back either. I can't help you with the traction control as that's an option mine doesn't have. My indicator stalk didn't self cancel when I got it, though it was when I went left rather than right on yours, I had it replaced at great expense, the black ones are hard to get hold of apparently, before 96 they were all chrome. The chrome one is a Lucas model which you can get much cheaper if you feel like sorting that out. I believe the cruise control stalk is American, probably GM. The switch at 5:21 is for the lights, in the up position it turns on the light behind the sun visor, in the down position it should turn on all interior lights. There's a microswitch that keeps the sun visor light off when it's folded up so it might look like it's not working when it is, at least in that position. I got mine for long journeys, though not as long as you have planned, but it really is excellent for that. Extremely comfortable and just eats up the miles, though it is pretty thirsty as I'm sure you know by now. Sport mode doesn't do much really, just holds gears for longer when you put your foot down. Head gaskets are a worry but I don't think they're as bad as a lot of people make out they are online. Just make sure the engine is properly warmed up before doing any spirited driving. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine!
