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.

Too bad the brit's can't come up with their own styling!

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.

Hatterasguy · #7 10-20-2008, 08:00 PM

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!

The Continental GT is one of my favorite cars.

Although, the Brooklands my dad was looking at was really awesome too.

Go for the Brooklands, much classier and you won't feel smothered inside of it.

I dont know man.... If I had to blow my money on a british car, it would either be a loaded Range Rover, or a Roller or still C-GT. Something about the Phantom is just right....

That thing is a monster, right then you think the Bentley is big the Phantom sets a whole new level of "I'm here!" The hood is about as high as my chest.
