The CL is lovely but a bit to 'innit bruv' and I would be worried about all the electronics, same with the SL / Bentley.

So is that the new or old shape?

I can only find the QP, which I love!

Innit Bruv? What does that mean?

If you mean common then it's far from that you'll see more Bentley GT's than one a CL they have great presence on the road & drive well as well as having that engine.
As for the electrics they don't seem to suffer with much remember everything in there is from the S Class, my dad is on his second he now has the 5.5 BiTurbo but rates the 6.2 as the better engine.

I suggest you drive one.

The QP is a very good alternative to the Gransport because you'll get a newer QP & with your budget you should be able to get a nice low mileage one.

A bit of a grown up c63 (which I am not a fan off).

I honestly prefer the old 55 engine, the noise when the SC kicks in is epic, but the reason I don't really fancy a CL is the fact my summer daily will be a CLS55.

QP is lovely, old shape / style too, not sure if I can afford the latter 4.7 engine or was that couple only?

At the moment, I think the best bet will be a Cerbera.

I didn't add that I want something that I won't take an absolute bath on in terms of depreciation, hence no XKR.

Evora is 30k for a tidy one.

QP is lovely, but i don't think I can afford to run that, a CLS55 and a daily.

As I said, Cerbera is winning at the moment! Awaiting some feedback from an un-as yet-advertised one.

Hello Lee, the one I have seen is a straight 6, it seems I can get a much newer / 'facelift' for my budget which I much prefer.

I have read enough around the difference in the engines (not driven) and for me 350 odd of the S6 is enough!

Would love a 4.5 though ...

Thanks Everyone, after some reviewing of the criteria and the fact I want a cross between a GT and sports car

....

It has to be an Evora I think ( have not driven one )

To stretch the budget I will need to wait for my bonus month as good ones seem to be circa £32k

To be continued.
