A picture a day of your Bentley
Discussion
Other manufacturers forums run these and they always seem long lived and popular. So as the Bentley forum appears a little quiet i thought i would start this.
Just pist a pic of your Bentley, new, old it doesn't matter they're just nice to see.
Dark Sapphire Arnage parked in Harrogate England today whilst we went for lunch during a few days in the Knaresborough area.

Well the allo allo remark has unfortunately passed me by, don't think I've ever watched sn episode....my bad 
That GTC looks lovely. I love the brighter vibrant colours on the more modern ranges. It's the same with Astons, for years they were black, black or a million different shades of grey n silver but now some lovely colours being seen on the roads.

Oh lush.
I was so tempted by the mulsanne my decision really could have gone either way. Sharing the same basic engine (which is what caught my attention in the first place), had a good spec mulsanne been offered for sale relatively local to me then I could easily have it on my drive now but there werent any and then I got the heads up for the arnage, the rest as they say is history.
I'm.still getting to grips with it but I'm starting to really like the roly poly ride / handling, the sport button does calm it down a lot but for now I prefer roly poly
I wanted more of a classic car type feel but I kept getting my head turned by the mulsannes electric blinds, modern sat nav and far superior refinement which is completely at odds with a modern classic.
Hey ho a man who doesn't really know what he wants !!!
Anyway you have a lovely machine there and I'm off for some fettling with mine on Monday. A specialist is going to rust proof and report back on a few other minor issues for ne

I knew there werent many as I understand only 27 rhd versions of the final series were ever built. Derek does seem to only want the best examples, that said they will still come with niggles as they are old cars generally speaking.
I'm getting some touch up oaint sorted and once I get rhe paintwork 100% it will be off for a ceramic coating which will just make the blue pop a little more. The paint is at 90% at the minute but some ejit has burnt through the paint on a couple of edges with a machine polisher at some point, small patches and nothing i cant deal with. So i will get that sorted do a very very light polish myself and then get it coated.
Parked up here and it makes the VW T Roc behind look very short

Umm really not sure about a Bentley grilled camargue.
I'm sure they were the worlds most expensive production car in their day if my top Trumps memory is working.
My car is in the worksop for a few days. They're investigating an intermittent hesitancy from the steering and once that's resolved a full underside rust proofing exercise in readiness for winter.
A gratuitous pic from a stop off at the supermarket yesterday.
Now I just need to sort an oversized rear number plate for when she gets back from rhe workshop and I can get one of my regs assigned. (A std sized plate is just too small and looks awkward!)

Looks like a new supply of damp Flying Spur parts becoming available in a few months 
My arnage looks like ut needs a new steering rack so currently sourcing a reconditioned unit. Still drivable in the meantime, its just spoilt by slightly 'weird' steering.
It still feels like a nice little occasion when taking it out though.

So we have found a rack which is with the machine shop being reconditioned as we speak so hopefully that could be with the workshop for fitting by mid to late next week. He tells me the install is relatively simple but he won't do the under body wax oyle until.steering sorted as it would just get messy which is fair enough.
Still looking into a stereo/sat nav/ rev camera set up but two firms who can definitely do what I want are both based in the south East which isn't handy for me in Northumberland
Anyway new plate finally fitted and sits alongside the sister plate i have.

Mine is just sitting on my drive feeling sorry for itself, not using it for now as I don't want to compound any issues.
Fingers crossed the replacement steering rack could land today or maybe tomorrow.
Last I heard it was getting dropped at the couriers.
Leaves me a tad jealous seeing you lot enjoying your motors.
I'm missing the daft thing
