Because I’m a northerner (wetherby) I’ve not been. Bought it over WhatsApp

Will dig the invoice out and check which branch

However, car is awesome, and the gold centenary pack is epic against the green exterior and black interior

Light years ahead over my old shape GT, chassis is very nimble and in the damp the rear is lively

My only gripe (and this is the panamera chassis coming through) is slight Ackerman effect when manouvering on full lock

Not sure if it's connected, but my GTC wears the tread unevenly on the front. It seems to be a taper from the inside to the outside (more wear to the outside).

It will be as all my Porsche’s have done that too

Took delivery of my first Bentley a couple of weeks ago from Bentley Leicester, 2016MY GT V8S in dark sapphire with Linen/ Blue interior.
No comments about the parking! There are several spaces at the golf club that allow extra space because of the angles.
Enjoying the car, previously had an Aston Martin Rapide 6.0 V12

There hasn't been anything that I've thrown at my Bentley where it hasn't felt at home...



Very nice.

Looking to buy a pre-facelift Mulsanne currently!

Yes, you will find photos past and present and some of the history here:

https://www.wowhaus.co.uk/2020/09/28/thomas-tait-m...

And the agents' particulars are here:

Apart from the furniture, we have changed very little since we moved in.

Here is a couple of photos from Octane in 2019:





and another from a contemporary magazine cover:

Collected this week, and loving the Mulsanne experience.
On the drive home it averaged 24.0mpg - very acceptable.
The interior is burnt oak mulliner with burr walnut

We went to a NT property the other day (The Vyne, near Basingstoke) and was somewhat surprised to find this in parking space next to our Corniche:
