I though you may like to see some details of my newly acquired 2009 model Brooklands, one of only 71 RHD manufactured.
The colour is Grey Violet, one of only 3 painted in this colour. The leather is Linen and the veneers are Olive Ash. It is in mint condition, has low miles, most of the bells and whistles and drives superbly.

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.
I am not very tech savvy, in that the site doesn't seem to let me attach more than one pic, even though they are all small sizes.

Can you advise please ?

Other details that I have managed to ascertain:

The original owner specced it to a considerable degree re the colour combination:

The build program was extended by 15 weeks to cater for specially woven carpets to the cabin and boot in Aubergine. Ditto the stitching to doors and seats. Aubergine to top roll and secondary hide, two tone steering wheel, interior rear view mirror, etc,etc.
530 BHP and 774 ft lbs of shove, I have to be a little careful with my right foot !!

Original cost over £260K, but shouldn't drop much now !

Not that I am pernickety or have any fetishes you understand, but I do insist that passengers are naked and definitely no shoes allowed -smile

Yes, I,'ve seen that one, in superb condition. There are two or three out there, not many were made in RHD.These second generation Brooklands will be future classics I think.

Took part in the Bentley Drivers Club Concours yesterday and entered the Brooklands.
Never entered one before, the class I was in had 21 competitors.
Surprised to learn that my car was awarded 2 rosettes, Highly Commended (2nd place) and Commended (joint 3rd place).

No Probs, but how do I send you a private message with contact details ? Apologies, but not good on this technology...

Agreed, they are very special. I have a 20" two part split rim wheel for sale off my Brooklands Coupe. Fully refurbished and in perfect condition. Useful instead of the Space Saver, just add your tyre and fit. Price £800, approx. half price new. £800.
