Buy a Bentley for 8K and people think you're a millionaire?
Discussion
I'm often discussing the impact and road presence of certain cars among family and friends.
During such a conversation earlier I recalled something Bob Mortimer once said on the One Show, "buy an 80's Bentley for 8 grand and people think you're a millionaire." Is this true to any degree?
Of course Bentley/Rolls Royce enthusiasts will be able to tell what value a particular vehicle is but what about non petrol heads? Do people in general make little or no distinction between say a new Brooklands or a 20 years old Brooklands?

It makes you wonder. Wasn't 2011 Rolls Royces best year for sales? I suppose many of those bought went to China. I read in In Gear towards the end of last year that there are just over 200 new Ghosts registered in the UK.
I used to have a 10 year old C Class Merc, bought for 3 grand and did get the usual comments on it being flash, expensive looking etc.
