Rolls & Bentley Owners Age Brackets

[LWG95]

Hi All,

I am trying to build up a survey of the ages of PH members that own such cars.

Please could as many of you as possible help on this.

I am thinking of compiling a table of how many are in the 20-30/,30-40/,40-50/,50-60 & over 60 ages.

I do not require names and identities, types of cars. etc, just how many are in these age ranges.

Please assist.

Not sure members will want to share this. Suggest you set up a poll then the responses will be anonymous.

I'm happy to contribute either way, but I agree that you'll get far more replies as an anonymous poll.

Cheers,
Jeff

OK, noted.
Forgive my ignorance, but how does one set up an anonymous poll ?

Start a new topic and across the top line you'll see an option to create a poll, tick that box and off you go.

Quite happy to submit to a poll

I am trying to ascertain the age brackets for PH members with these cars.
Subdivided as follows:

Age 20-30
" 31-40
" 41-50
" 51-60
" 60 and over

I am not certain how this can be done, as not very IT literate, do not need identification, type of car, or any personal data, just the numbers.

Would appreciate your help.

I bought my first at 31-40, my second at 41-50 and I still fall within that age bracket...

OP didn't have the rights to start a poll, he does now.

I was at at RR factory last summer. The guy mentioned that their priducts used to be bought by men in their 50s and 60s but now now it's in their 40s. OP, you may already be aware of this.

I expect that the majority will be in the 50-60 bracket, followed by some in the 40-50 bracket.

There may be a few in the 20-30 bracket, but I suspect that they will be footballers or similar, with modern Conti GT's...LOL

I think if you were able to get precise ages from all Bentley / Rolls Royce owners, you'd probably find that the average was somewhere between 40-50 years of age (48 would be my guess).

Your plan to obtain accurate information about age brackets using Pistonheads however is sadly floored..... You are failing to take in to account, that all the 20-35 year olds are not contributing to this poll at all, neither are they on here reading our posts..... Instead they're at home, up to their nuts in some 6 foot blonde scorcher!!!

For the purposes of your poll, I have a Bentley Mulsanne and I'm 46 years old, unfortunately putting me out of the happy 20-35 age bracket

Thanks Allister, useful points made.

Thinking back to my time in the 20-35 bracket, the priority was to keep employed, roof over head, bring up children, etc.
A relatively expensive car wasn't even on any event horizon.

Sorry LWG95, just ignore me...... I was only trying to add a dash of humour, in particular by agreeing with your comments about the footballer crowd.

Likewise for me also, the age of 20-35 was not a time of good fortune - In fact exactly 10 years ago, I was living in a friends 6ft x 8ft spare room with my Collie rescue dog, a few quid in my wallet but nothing more!

A couple of good decisions, a bit of hard work and a massive amount of luck are the things that have changed my life from what it was then, to what it is today..... And I never forget that.

I'm 55 had a 1996 Bentley Brooklands for eight years. Done around 75K miles in that time much of it on the continent.

I came to Bentley's in my 60s. I always had interesting cars from my late 30's onward from Lotuses ( Or should it be Loti!) to Daimler's, BMW's and then Ferrari's and Maseratti's but with advancing years I turned to Bentley and that wonderful combination of luxury and performance. I am now 75 and my Arnage will see me out depending on whose head gasket goes first!

I'm 54 and bought my 1996 Bentley Turbo R almost 2 years ago when I was a mere 52!

[Balmoral]

I bought my MKVI aged 33 and kept it about six years, I got my Turbo R aged 38 and kept it for 15 years. I currently don't have a Bentley
