IkarusJohn Posted June 21, 2015 Share #4 Posted June 21, 2015 Drove past a Corniche today - I was struck by the fact that it really was a truly ugly car, made from a parts bin, and the windscreen wipers were 3/4 up the windscreen (it wasn't raining). I know there will be people here who like that car, but it looked well looked after, but tragically undeserving of the RR badge. However, there's something rather stately about the Silver Shadow. That Phantom II looks like the most extraordinary love, to be in that condition. Thanks Dunk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted June 22, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Lots of cars were sold over the weekend at the Burghley House RR Enthusiasts event - both by dealers and at auction. This low mileage Bentley Brooklands 'Low Pressure Turbo' is capable of 0-60mph in under 8 seconds and would have cost over £100K when new. Seems to be a bargain at the price sold because it's unlikely to £depreciate much more - and the servicing costs could be less than the depreciation on other more modern 'runabouts' … thus a lot of car for the £££. Some might consider the styling a bit ordinary and dated … but it's cheaper than many s/h 'bread and butter' cars and a lot more enjoyable. Welcome, dear visitor!

earleygallery Posted June 22, 2015 Share #11 Posted June 22, 2015 Did you buy the Bentley Dunk? Seems somone got an amazing bargain - apart from tyres and petrol I hear that running costs needn't be much higher than most other cars if you use an independent garage for servicing.

earleygallery Posted June 23, 2015 Share #17 Posted June 23, 2015 Love the Shooting Brake. It would be fun to have a dormobile roof fitted on top, suitably well made kitchenette in the back and turn it into a camper van! I expect there are already picnic tables on the front seat backs.
