The Bentley Brooklands Was The Ultimate $400,000 Luxury Coupe 

*Gets hit with 5,000 pound Bentley * “Well at least i didn’t get stabbed by the hood ornament “

CNC Motors: Where's Doug? Put a supercar on the lawn, maybe he'll come.

“I love the styling” Also Doug: styling it gets a 6 out of 10

4:40 the most killer feature I wish every car had

CNC MOTORS: „hello Police, we Need help, Doug Demuro is missing!!!“

Officer: Registration? Me: Right here on the doorsill bro

Who googled "J. Edwin Holliday" only to find out that he passed away :-( RIP my man. I'm sure he'd be proud of Doug reviewing his car!

R.I.P J Edwin, fine taste in cars

Doug's wife: I'm kicking you out Doug: ok Wife: you better not go to CNC Doug:

CNC Motors : where is that guy ? Doug : laughs in RanchoSantaFe

R.I.P. J. Edwin Holliday, You lived an extravagant life my friend.

"J. Edwin Ed Holliday, passed away peacefully after a brief illness in Reno, NV on Friday, September 2nd. Ed Holliday was a Managing Director with L&S Advisors, a Registered Investment Advisory firm based in Los Angeles, CA. Ed Holliday was born on December 24, 1943 in Fayetteville, WV. His father was a coal miner and later, a school bus driver. His mother was a census taker for the U.S. Government and owned a tea salon in town. After graduating from WV University, Institute of Technology, with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Ed took a job as an engineer with the Trane Corporation in Ohio. A passion for aviation led Ed to a job offer selling airplanes in Colorado for Beechcraft Corporation. That, in turn led to his first job as a wholesaler for an oil & gas companys limited partnership. Ed moved with his wife and family to Orange County, CA in 1985. Over the next three decades, Ed enjoyed an enviable reputation as the consummate wholesaler to the financial services community. Ed was an active member, and for one term, the President of the Orange County chapter of the International Association of Financial Planners (IAFP). In the mid 1990s, Ed was the National Sales Manager for ATEL Corporation, based in San Francisco, CA. In 1997, Ed left ATEL to join Campbell & Co., a managed futures firm and was there more than eleven years. Ed returned to the warmer climate of Laguna Niguel, which he loved. In 2015, Ed moved to Reno, NV to be closer to his companion, Pamela and her family. In addition to Eds passion for aviation and flying, Ed was a car nut and audiophile, loved to travel and was an adventurer, always curious about what was new in technology. Ed was a lifetime member of the L.A. & O.C. Audio Society, American Bonanza Society, and of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Ed was a licensed pilot and flew his own Beechcraft plane. Ed was looking forward to being on the first Virgin Galactic space flight. Ed was a storyteller extraordinaire, starting with stories from his childhood in West Virginia through the many places he lived and traveled over the years. Ed loved to read, especially mysteries, and listened to books on tape as he crisscrossed the country on his business travels. Ed had a joie de vivre that all who knew him will always remember. His goal was to make the world a better place for all he met and he quietly helped many people who will never forget his kindness. Ed is survived by his two sons David Holliday, Jason Holliday and his wife Susan, and son, J.J. all of Hilton Head, SC, his four step-children, Russel Thompson of Palm Springs, CA, Michelle Thompson Arellano and family and brother Aaron, all of Salt Lake City, Utah. Eds parents and only sibling, Joan, predecease him. For information about upcoming celebrations of Ed's life, or to leave a memory of Ed, please visit mach2ed.com"

I wonder if CNC Motors finally banned him. "LOOK. Are you gonna buy a car or not? You've test driven like 50 cars and haven't bought anything."

Doug: Dark Red Burgundy: Am I a joke to you?

12:10 That IS a cup holder. Just google and find the images. Two smaller cups on the side or one large in the middle.

I can remember when Jeremy Clarkson reviewed this beauty... It is monstrous I adore it so much

Doug: I borrowed this car from Rancho Santa Fe autos... CNC: You're cheating on us!?

14:10 "It's also Surprisingly Luxurious back here" - in a Bentley Brooklands...

The Brooklands is THE best big body coupe in modern times. I love it. Built like a bank vault and a bargain today. This car was built to last and will always look amazing with the chopped roof and extra long wheelbase. Much better looking than the Phantom Coupe.

Best car channel on youtube. Doug doesn't try to push merch to his viewers like many other car youtube channels and he hasn't watered down his channel by releasing a video every day. love the cars and reviews.

"I borrowed this Bentley Brooklands from CNC..." "Wait, I'm not at CNC Motors, I'm at Rancho Santa Fe Autos In The San Diego Area!" :O

I personally think it deserved no less than a 7 for styling, it is timeless and beautiful.

The name is derived from the old British raceway. A replica of a "Brooklands racer" is mentioned in the classic 1973 novel Crash by J.G. Ballard, as being inside Colin Seagrave's garage.

Doug, I've been a subscriber since 2017 and cannot thank you enough for the pure joy that you've brought to my life with your videos. You truly are the greatest RU-vidr of all time and an inspiration to us all. - Josh

I love how Doug gets super excited when he sees a cool car on the road, my mom used to scold me for distracting her every time there was anything from a corvette to Lamborghini in sight

*gets in a minor fender bender* “Welp, gotta replace the back up camera now”

Mr. Holliday passed in 2016. He apparently led an interesting life. I think I recall that the entire rear part of the car cascading onto the back of the car are were all made by hand and not machine stamped. I think it’s a cool car.

Love the ending. Doug has so many reviews, that it's such a strong likehood to see these car on the road

Doug the type of guy to disagree with the terms and conditions.

I take it J. Edwin Holliday was doing fine during the recession.

One of the most stunning grand coupes ever made 😍

That low RPM redline is due to the fact that the V8 was taken out of a 1959 Bentley saloon. Of course,they fiddled with it for a bit but this is probably one of the longest serving V8s ever. It's last hurrah was with the last Bentley Mulsanne that rolled off the production line this year in Crewe, Cheshire. By the way, Bentley should build a successor to the Brooklands. Best ultra-luxury coupe I have seen ever. And if you thought Cadillacs were a yacht, wait till you see this cruiser.

No-one tell Doug that the "tissue box" holder is actually a cup holder

If anyone is curious, here is more on "J. Edwin Holliday", who has since passed [RIP]: J. Edwin Holliday (Ed) was a car nut and audiophile, loved to travel and was an adventurer, always curious about what was new in technology. Ed was a lifetime member of the L.A. & O.C. Audio Society, American Bonanza Society, and of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Ed was a licensed pilot and flew his own Beechcraft plane. Ed was looking forward to being on the first Virgin Galactic space flight. Ed was a storyteller extraordinaire, starting with stories from his childhood in West Virginia through the many places he lived and traveled over the years. Ed loved to read, especially mysteries, and listened to books on tape as he crisscrossed the country on his business travels.

Doug, regarding the 6 position seat heater, yes, I could tell the difference in my friend's Jetta Wolfsburg. I always set it on level 4 or 5, depending on the outside temperature. 6 was too hot, 3 was okay for spring mornings, otherwise the 1 and 2 setting were too weak, but you could tell they were trying. On another note, the Brooklands has been my favorite Bentley since it came out, before that was the Arnage. I am not the target demographic, by age or income or anything, but it's just so cool! I always thought with that much torque it would be fun to tow a boat with it, just to see people's reactions

7:10 that is the most relatable sentence I’ve ever heard Doug say. He’s onto me.

R.I.P J. Edwin Holliday. You had an exceptional taste.

Loving the videos! You should seriously come to New Zealand and review all the weird JDM cars we got here!

@24:21, dude, that noise of the 6x6 and Doug's expression just made my day!

I love how there isnt some giant infotainment system. Its classy and timeless.

I love your reviews! Always lots of smiles! Thank you.

That is timeless beauty.... Bentley

$400k Bentley with a single-din head unit you can buy at Walmart

4:12 RIP J. Edwin Holliday.

6:33 I love how the cop was just chillin in the background probably wondering what the hell he was doin lmfao

12:12 those are *cupholders* with *adjustable pegs* that allows for different sizes of cups 15:25 *two more cupholders* in the back, the *ashtray is removable* since it is less likely that people smoke then that they don't, but this car owner preferred to have an ashtray in there

24:34 that has to be mega super star boxer Canelo Alvarez in his Mercedes-Benz BRABUS G63 6x6 with Mexican license plates from the state of his birthplace state of Jalisco... wow 😳

9:15 Doug will never pass on an opportunity to bag on the Mitsubishi Mirage

Thanks so much Doug!! My second favourite car of all time!!

I used to live right next to Rancho Santa Fe auto and I used to go to the farmers market there every weak. Brings back memories

Who's the monster that closes frameless doors BY THE GLASS? 20:34 - just watch those fingerprints on the driver window

6-wheeler surprises the Dougster, whilst in the lap of luxury. A defining moment I’m sure

Stunning grace and effortless elegance. There's something really special about these older style Bentleys that is lost on models like the Bentayga or Cullinan. Wherever I go in life, I'll know I've truly arrived if one day it says "Brooklands" on the boot lid.

As a fan of the old Legend Coupes this car is another dream car. Large luxury coupes are awesome to drive. Come on who else agrees with me?

According to Google, J. Edwin Holliday was a Managing Director for an investment firm, and passed away in 2016. RIP

The original owner sounded like a cool dude according to his obituary. Rip

Doug: Styling gets a 5 out of 10. Handling is a 4 out of 10. Fun factor is a 3 out of 10 Doug’s girlfriend: Get out of my bed Doug..

"Dark Red" Doug, you mean 'Burgundy'. When it's a Bentley, it's Burgundy.

7:08 "Oh, your car has wood trim? That's cute... my car has wood trim with wood trim on it."

When your name is J. Edmond Holiday, this Bentley is issued to you at birth.

I've always been a big fan of coupes and GTS but this, man is it gorgeous especially in that red wine color *chef's kiss*

That's my favorite car Doug's ever reviewed, I've watched this video a dozen times. I just love it. I'll probably never have one, but this car is magnificent! Not much technology, but every detail was carefully and thoughtfully made. That's art.

I remember when Jeremy Clarkson reviewed the Brooklands back on Top Gear and he tore the tire clean off the wheel because of the massive torque that it had

Doug I borrowed this car from... Me: CNC motors Doug: ...Rancho Santa Fe Me: :o

Every time Doug kneels on gravel covered pavement I have PTSD flashbacks of that ONE time I knelt on a LEGO...

dude i've been aiting for a review on one of these rare beauties for a long time!!!! it's the bently i'd wait to find and buy if i had the money , the body style is so timeless

"J. Edwin Ed Holliday, passed away peacefully after a brief illness in Reno, NV on Friday, September 2nd 2016" ...

videos like this that make me realize Doug's detailed overviews of these cars actually are a notable contribution to history. 200 years from now I hope someone watches this and appreciates that $2,500 backup camera and $5200 veneer.

7:28 - 400.000$ and you'll end up with a Walmart Radio...

Loved this video and the Azure video...would be very interested to see a review of the earlier generation of Bentley coupes/convertibles (Conti R/T/SC, first gen Azure). I'm sure they're extremely quirky.

12:07 Believe it or not, that actually is a cupholder. I’ve used the same one in the back of a Volkswagen Passat. You’re supposed to put your cup on either side and the little “claws” are spring loaded and hold the cup firmly in place. Seems flimsy, but actually works well.

Last time I was this early, Doug still owned his Cadillac CTS Wagon

Absolutely smashing review.

Absolutely gorgeous elegant, understated. True sophistication.

Every door has two door handles for one door. That one technically has three

24:18 “did a full 180, crazy”

My mom owns a 2002 Audi A4 and it has heated front seats, and the winter here in Portugal is quite cold, and I use the heated seats quite a lot and you do feel quite a difference between the heat levels, and it's handy because you can adjust better the temperature.

Just that particular special Vavona wood alone is the 5k option.... to get the EXTRA wood trim you have to look further down the list "Oak cross banding to picture frame inlay" and that's an additional $1,190

1:05 Today I learned that people who buy coupes do so because they want a fixed roof instead of a convertible top. Thanks, Doug!

$400K and you don’t get crystal drinking glasses shaped like a mini flower vase? Wow. Just wow.

24:20 is by far the best part of this video. priceless reaction lol

Doug ,you should tell more detail about those navigation screen . There are so many quirks in them.

Love the cop sitting there just waiting for Doug to fire it up and show us how fast it is.

24:20 Lol what are the actual chances of seeing something like that?! A Brabus 6x6, that's even rarer than the Brooklands!!

7:36 good editing 😆

Thank you for this video !!! This Bentley is BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!

Doug, the type of guy to review a 2009 Bentley while everyone else is talking about the new C8 Corvette. I bet Doug still gets more views as well.

Thissssss Will have to wait till I get out of work later

really love the design of this thing as well

The top gear review of this car is outstanding. Jeremy just roast the tires into oblivion. It’s so absurd

Doug: there're quite a few interesting items in the back seat Crow: quack quack quack

For those who want to google J. Edwin Holliday. J. Edwin Ed Holliday, passed away peacefully after a brief illness in Reno, NV on Friday, September 2nd 2016.

My 2006 Volvo C70 also has one touch all windows down. Further more you can do this also from the key FOB to cool the car down before entering :)

I must say damn classic one n ur work it's too nice ur way to explain everything

That tissue holder actually holds cups very well, it's the rear cup holder from a b5.5 passat

It feels weird to be saying "in today's money" when talking about something from the late 2000s

That 6x6 at the end was the neatest thing.

Love the gold color with the dish wheels. Best spec.
