Sadly not in a position to buy either of these frown

But if you were, which would it be (out of these 2 models only).



Continental GT



Continental R

GT. Purely based on looks.

I have no idea if one is faster or more expensive than the other and as, like you, I can't afford either, it doesn't really matter what the price is! I suppose I could sell the house, but 4 of us living in a car would be a bit cramped!

If it's a Conti GT speed like the one pictured, I'd have that. Otherwise, I would prefer the R over a standard GT.

GT everyday. I drove the two back-to-back at the factory when the GT was launched - do business with them. The difference between the two is about 40 years of development.

The Old Conti is a piece of motoring history.....but it is very much still in the history books. A friend of mine has recently done a double swap - a RR Phantom with a ghost and his Old Conti with a Brooklands. The Brooklands is a leap ahead of the Conti, and still a league begind the GT.

The R, looks more like a 'proper' Bentley.

I've had the pleasure of driving an older Continental SC and it was wonderful, I love the classic shape more than the newer GT.
