Buy mine

Ha, thanks, but too many cars already. If I was going to buy a Conti it would have to be a Supersports

Top Gear have a great shot of a Bentley doing a burn out.

Loved that little read- excellent.
He calls it a hard top azure whereas I like to think of it as the 2 door Arnage
Got my fingers crossed I get my baby back tomorrow

There have been a couple of Arnages coming the the Collecting Cars auction site recently. One 2008 model, nicely used went for £28.5k plus fees.

Another older 2003 model with patchy history and reports of corroded fuel rail lines went for £15.5k plus fees.

£30k probably about right for that 2008 car given it still needs a little bit of work ( but don't they all !). Personally I'm not sure i could live with the interior, just a personal choice but not my bag.

[lukeharding]

Conversely I quite like that interior! Certainly more than some of the entirely cream affairs you see. Still got to try an Arnage at some point.

Do all Arnages come with bits of timber in the toolkit

Anybody on here own a pre 2010 Flying Spur?

[Longy00000]

New steering rack in and now prepped for the messy business of an underside waxoyl treatment in readiness for winter.

Collected it last night and glad to have it back

[Longy00000]

All mechanical work (for now) seems to be complete so I can now think more about cosmetics. However before I do that a quick meet up with a fellow PH member Bomb and his recently purchased lovely GT8 for a coffee or two

[lukeharding]

That is a pretty perfect two car garage!

This is my 2012 Continental Flying Spur Speed which I bought earlier on this year, it's just going to be a summer car so now safely tucked up until next spring. It's my first Bentley, I've had Land Rovers/Range Rovers for the past 40 odd years, although I still have a Land Rover as the daily driver but I have loved driving the Bentley around all summer.

[Longy00000]

Very nice, is that Langley Castle ?

[Dan_H]

Thanks, it certainly is Langley Castle.

[Longy00000]

Well that could suggest you're a fellow northerner and I'll have to keep an eye out for your steed on the road next year.

[Dan_H]

I certainly am a fellow Northerner, live in Durham on the border with Northumberland, will keep an eye out for you next year.
