Love it. The exterior colour and the interior combo works for me.

I prefer Arnage though.

I don't like the purple. Agree with you about the Arnage.

Not an eBay post or even a car for sale, but WTF.

I keep an eye on "carswithnoreservereading" on eBay because they often have interesting bits & bobs. They have a Bentley Continental atm and it's incredibly refreshing to read a description like this:

"2004 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT 6.0 W12

This Bentley, much like almost all of our other Bentleys we have had, has a lot of issues. Driving it back from the auction it felt EXTREMELY under powered, and felt like it was late changing gears (i felt myself having to let off the throttle to let it change and when it did it wasn't a very smooth transition)

Note, this is a 16 year old car, so do please set your expectations accordingly, the number of people we have pitch up to see these and moan about minor things is very frustrating! Hate to break it to you folks but it needs to be pointed out, this is a Bentley, these have loads of stuff on them, they are usually brought secondhand by people who frankly cannot afford to maintain them in peak condition, so frankly if your after one at this age, and this kind of money, you would be very naive to expect to expect to find a car that everything works on and is perfection! If your paying £20k from a dealer for a 2004 one, then you would expect everything totally right! We have not been advised of service history so assume it has none! It the car turns up with something then great, but I doubt it will, as the vendors would have told us if it had!

That's probably been flogged to hell and back by a drug dealer, and I can't help thinking about the GT that went through Hoovie and Tavarish and never ran right.

And Jon - he doesn’t specify a professional <what> ;)

Certainly to my taste - I love purple, had a Flying Spur as my wedding car... it’s bang on. But I’d spend that money on an AMG GT, sadly not with purple leather because that doesn’t seem to have been offered ☹️

Just a shame they couldn't decide which silver to use on each panel on that right and side.

I seem to remember that you’ve got a good eye for paint mismatches and pointed it out on cars that I didn’t really notice... but fair play on that one - drivers side door is a completely different shade of silver!
