Hi all.

PM please,

Where to buy a new Bentley V8S LHD in UK.

I realise it may be a 4 to 6 month wait for the spec and options I want.

Willing to put 10% deposit down, and full balance on build finish.

Can a Bentley dealer not accommodate your request?

No,

Can only supply rhd.
Even for cash sale

Have you tried ringing the company and speaking to whoever is in charge down there?

No new LHD for sale in UK

Cant tell if this is serious..

So you want a car with options to your exact specification .. needs to be a new build by the sounds of it considering you will put 10% down now..

Not trying to sound like a dick but surely no one other than Bentley dealer could offer this...unless you are trying to buy someone else's build slot to jump the queue..

I can assure you, for the best part of 227,000

I can not get a LHD in U. K

Crazy eh !

If you got money to blow on a new bentley, I am pretty sure that the manufacturers can accomodate all your needs and make sure the worlds finest hide is used in a colour of your choice, not sure why ask a pison header in the first place.

I have phoned them
I have visited them
I have the configuration code, which denotes the basic car, plus the options I want.

But can not place the order, or buy it in UK.

Car I want is a duo tone, Flying Spur V8s, petrol

As I said, I can put 10% or even 20% down as deposit.
But can not place an order or buy one in UK.

Anyone know different, please pm me.
Seriously.
Thanks

Quite happy to wait my 6 months,
I am not wishing to jump the list.
Seriously,
The Bentley dealership will not take my 30k deposit.

Looks like I may have to go to a European dealer.

Also,
New Bentley's are not the same nett price all through Europe or the world.

Why LHD?

We also have a place in Spain

Looking on google there appear to be a number of brokers who can source LHD cars from European dealers for delivery to the UK (the service is aimed at expats and people with second homes). Here is one link. Worth giving someone like this a call?

(no affiliation with the above)

Having said that, I am not sure I would trust a third party broker with an order for a £200k Bentley. I would go direct to a Bentley dealer on the continent, and maybe use a company like the above for advice and for help with the logistics and paperwork.

I'm surprised that a UK Bentley dealer will not help.

Thanks,

Even if UK dealers aren't allowed to self LHD cars by HQ (which I doubt), what's to stop you jumping in your current car and ordering one from mainland Europe? Make a short break of it.

This will probably be the answer

Your missus buys 100 Range Rovers a month according to you, but doesn't have any contacts in the industry to source a LHD Bentley?

Yup,
can buy through third party,

Range Rovers, lambos, Ferrari, Rolls, are easy,
Not like Bentley

Thanks

Assuming that OP is legit not a troll, the reason why VAG might not want to sell LHD Bentleys in this country is because the GBP made UK prices more attractive to non GBP buyers over the last year.

Prices are as you realised, not the same in all countries.

It comes down to the basics, of, its not what the Bentley is worth, but more on, how much you are prepared to pay to it.
How much you are prepared to pay, largely depends where you domicile.

OP - do you want the car on UK plates or Spanish plates? In other words - where do you want it registered?

Not sure where it will be registered.

Earns £39k a year based on previous post but wants to buy a LHD Bentley to use from second home in Spain.

Am I missing something?

And why the low deposit? Is it all about the monthly payments?

Somebody please help explain what is happening!

10% deposit,
Build car to required spec.
Pay balance
Drive away

How simple is that.
