Rather than chuck this in the "Picture a day of your Bentley" thread, thought I'd start another for interesting spots.

This Special was at Upton Bridge Farms weekly cars & coffee yesterday.
Based on a 1950 Mk6, has a straight 8 under the bonnet and is stunning thing. cloud9

Spotted one under cover in a London underground car park last week, while removing a 1 owner 25k Beetle parked next to it.

Should have took pics, lifted cover, looked like an all original one to me.

There are gazillions of Bentleys in underground car parks in London.

I was looking at a Mulsanne a while back with virtually no miles on it. Bentley had just charged THOUSANDS to recover it from an underground garage. I assume because they needed to use a low-lift bit of kit to get it out.

It's on of the things I like about Bentley. People buy them, park them and forget about them. Every so often something lovely pops up.

This wasn't run of the mill, a blower that looked well used.

Excellent.

Bentleys are a difference science though. There seems to be a whole set of rules just for them.

A couple of classic Bentleys spotted locally

Spotted this MKVI at a local show last week




Spotted what I think is a Bentley 3 litre at a local country pub a month or two ago but according to the reg check it's an Austin 20 confused

No, you absolutely shouldn't.

I was just thinking how rare it is now to see an XR4i; quite underrated as everybody looks to the 'Cossie'.
