[Mr Tidy]

Sorry, but I'd much rather have an E-Type and some change!

If you are interested in this sort of thing my son keeps this updated fairly regularly.

How did they go from this to Wayne Rooney specials

Would like to transport the Bentley Bys and W.O forward in time to witness Paris Hilton's pink car.

He'd probably torch the factory when he got back.

It

Pretty scary things to drive quickly but surprisingly 'chuckable', the speed 6 (with the 6.5 litre engine is a different story and more akin to a very quick bus!).

One of the most interesting is the 3 litre with the 4.4 engine. a commonly made hybrid referred to as a 3/4.5 . Weighing at not much over a tonne with 200bhp and cable operated brakes!

I'd love to hear a bit more about this, have you actually driven one of these quickly? (properly not just pootling about)

He probably wouldn’t be over the moon about German ownership either.
