I have to agree about the colour, but not the car, that Bentley is foul

Taste is taste - but I don't think I'd ever have trouble getting quality spares for it, even if they cost an arm and 2 legs! And that interior is REAL quality - no plastic wood, plastic chrome, or fake leather in there!

Oh, and it's ALL British too, if that's important!

No, it's plug ugly, and about as tasteless as it gets........a bookmaker friend in Sheffield owned a 1987 Mulsanne Turbo R in the early 1990's

After driving it up the Parkway, yes it was quite a nice place to be in comparison to the Marina 575 I was driving a a daily, but make no mistake the Bentley did not ooze quality, and spent an awful lot of it's time in dry dock at JCT600.

Would I own one, no I wouldn't, there are far nicer cars both in build and styling, and driving experience

Interesting comments - i would defer to your assessment of quality, Brian. Not that I was about to get my wallet out, anyway!

I bought one of the Radioguy ones to put on the MG but the guy who owns the body shop refused to fit it as the quality was so bad. I’m glad I took his advice and moved it on quickly

I like the understated looks of the silver v8. It would be fun at a set of traffic lights, an old normal looking rover taking off in a cacophony of noise and beating most other cars off the line. (once thewheelspin stops)
The Bentley doesn't do it for me either.

“Taking off and beating most other cars off the line” yep and then reality kicks in

Not that I'd condone that sort of hooligan behaviour
