Mulsanne/New Flying Spur price cross over - which one?!!
Discussion
Hi All
I am considering replacing my Continental GT as a growing daughter needs more rear legroom and perhaps her own door!
I can see that the Mulsanne and the new Flying Spur have reached a point where the pricing is about the same with no major differences in mileage or age.
I know nothing of either (other than they are both very pretty/handsome) and would appreciate any thoughts about which one to go for at the circa £80 mark.
Is there some huge gulf in running costs (for example)? I will drive and be driven so interior is very important. Is the Mulsanne that much bigger than the Flying Spur (parking/maneuvering)?
Any feedback gratefully received!

Mulsanne. The Spur is the objectively better car, but the increased sense of occasion the Mulsanne brings makes every journey something special.
Both are large cars, but the extra 300mm of the Mulsanne may be an issue parking.
The Spur is the obvious step from the GT for the extra space and the driving experience is similar. The Mulsanne is quite different to the GT so a test drive would be worthwhile to see if you bond with it.
Both are truely grand motor cars and neither will disappoint so a nice decision either way!
Enjoy
Thanks Gary. I ended up having a heated swimming pool built instead, so will revisit this 'problem' in the new year now!Mulsanne. The Spur is the objectively better car, but the increased sense of occasion the Mulsanne brings makes every journey something special.

New Swimming Pool?
I have had a Bentley and an indoor heated swimming pool.
The Bentley costs a lot less and all the family (except me) got seriously bored with the pool. We did have one alcoholic evening which culminated with friends in various improvised costumes or lack thereof in the pool.
But on balance I have had far more smiles per pound out of the Bentley

The new swimming pool is mainly for my daughter (though of course we enjoy it) and she is in it at every single opportunity. I love my Bentley (and my Aston Martin), but the pool is definitely providing more smiles per pound for her than any car would!
