Cool car!

They make Mercedes feel cheesy, but the engineering certianly isn't on the level of the Germans. Fit and finish and attention to detail is higher though.

I have always prefered a British interior to the Germans. The British know how to do leather and wood.

I have to say I disagree. It think an Adenauer or 600 etc is just as good. But then aesthetics is largely a matter of opinion.

it's automatic.

Maybach's are probably similer.

But they lack that British charm.

I saw one for sale up in Litchfield once and I was actually impressed. The sheer size of these things is staggering That is my favorite Bentley model (Along with the modern variant the Arnage) The one thing that puts me off on really old Rollers and Bentleys is that the rear leg room isn't as much as say a W126 S-Class

The Continental GT is just a heap of garbage if I've ever seen one.

The quality and attention to detail impressed the heck out of me. I guess they don't cost 3-4 times what a new S class costs for nothing!

How many cars does Jay Leno own? I know he makes a lot of money, but I can't believe the vast collection of cars that guy has.

One of my all time favorite cars. I love the understatedness and the sheer power.

Interesting tidbit about that Turbo-R being one of only two cars Jay ever bought new. The other was an '83 300(S)D that he said was just too slow so he traded it in on the Bentley. Just a little performance gap there.

Yeah he mentioned that in the video but you can tell that he still loved it. I wonder if his opinion would have been different if he had gotten a 300SD instead?

Did he mention if it was a D or SD? I didn't catch it with all of the background noise here.

When I was in high school in Augusta, GA, one of my friends fathers (not him, his brother or his sister, but his dad) had one of those. He also had a 560 SEL. It was like a Ferris Bueller moment when I first saw it: we were at his house, grilling out by the pool, and he needed something out of one of the garages. When the doors came up, both cars were sitting side by side with California plates. I was like, wtf? His father owned collection agencies (20 in LA alone) all over CA. He was actually in CA at the time, but alas the owner was a step-father and my pal's mom was on thin ice, so I never got to drive it.

Want ugly (like the Turbo R??) - get the Rolls Camargue instead...
