Slightly the worse for wear, but thought this photo deserved posting...

Lovely

Is that a Flying Spur?

The term "flying spur" was usually applied to 4-door saloons built by HJM on the Bentley Continental chassis (although the differences from standard are few and more down to engine spec. and rear axle ratio than anything else). This is an R-R and very unusual: 4-door convertibles are rare - even on a separate chassis, there are rigidity issues. It looks very much like HJM in style and I would guess a one-off or in very limited numbers.

I'm certainly no expert. A very good friend of mine has this Flying Spur.



I was led to believe the FS differed from the standard Cloud at the rear, the standard being more 'slopey' and the FS squared off, which the convertible seems to have.
