I have a Continental Flying Spur and paid £20k 3 1/2 years ago. I've not shelled out any big amounts in repairs and maintenance. Like every car, prestige or not, if it's well cared for, serviced regularly and maintenance done without delay, they are far more likely to be reliable and mines done 90K miles. I'd be more warey of a example that hasn't been driven than one that has. My best tip, unless you drive it daily, is by a trickle charger and ensure you keep it in a garage. I love mine and it's been dependable. I'd have another in a heartbeat if I ever sell this one, or maybe, it's big brother, the Mulsanne. Thanks for sharing.
im not too much of a fan of the exterior, the circle headlights and the tailights didnt age too well in my opinion. which is why ill just stick to my civic
I have owned a 54 continental GT for over 3 years now, bought with 35k miles on, road tax £390, insurance £263, service at Bentley specialist £800, bi annual as I do 2500 miles a year, mpg is 20 at best, 30 is miles off imo. Absolutely stunning car, every mile is a smile. Do your research, don't buy cheap for the sake of it, get the "right" one, you'll love it
Though I still adore Bentley, and will more than likely look at picking one up someday, out of all the cars that I've owned looking towards the super make brands, Bentley isn't fun like they used to be, they're not as bespoke as they used to be... they're just more German. They're stuck at the crossroads of English bling meets fastidiously applied Teutonic frugality. There's so many things that used to make a Bentley a Bentley, being the grand example of British grand touring, the stuff they are today is just a "murdered out mess" on the road. What you have depicted here is the last of the classic Bentleys. I hope the Germans don't make the same mistake Tata did with Jaguar.
I’m thinking about getting a 2016 flying spur this was hilariously informative. Not that I’m planning to have a baby but hey it’s nice to know I have room.
@@dadcars I’ve watched a few now. Great content. I have looked at these as a possible replacement to the Sclass that’s accidentally ended up as the family car. 😂
There is one in the local garage and I just said to the wife how about that for a Daily (whilst out pushing the buggy for a walk to get the little one to sleep). . . . you legend 2 days later this comes out - great content fella
