Brava, i agree with you...
Brava, i agree with you about the GT and perhaps
the new Brooklands, but not the Flying Spur or Arnage. they are proper 4
door saloons, the flying spur is fast and handles, but doesnt pretend to be a
sports car.

i dont know any pro footballers personally i'm
pleased to say, but they seem to be more into Escalades, Navigators, Cayennes
and Rangerover sports which fit in with their jacob & Co watches

who knows this car ???
Saw this one this after noon. The only thing I know ; it's a Bentley. Picture quality is bad, took them with my mobile phone. The car was green and HUGE, really HUGE. Is this a very expenise original one of a kind piece and are we talking about a 500.000 ...
Not sure, I believe that there are recreations out there...
I saw one a few years ago at the Concours Het Loo. The original coupé, not the actual car that raced the Blue Train, apparently resides in the US along with the original car that DID race the train and won. The reg. of the original car is GJ 3811, I doubt...
You're correct in this...
The car depicted here was in fact not the actual car popularly known as the "Blue Train Special". Another Speed Six (much more sedate looking) was the actual car from the famous race. Upon learning this fact, the owner of the car depicted here purchased t...
was it LNIB with only scratch on bezel as i saw advertised the other day?

You know, the sport where they actually use the feet to kick a ball (round). The Arnage is old school, hence the Phaeton comment.
Flying Spur
Graham, A bit of trivia on the Flying Spur. Strictly speaking was not a Bentley/RR name, coachbuilder HJ Mulliner first applied it to the 4 door version of the S3 Continental (which was based on the Silver Cloud 3). It was actually a tribute to Claude Joh...
thanx for the trivia Ben....
thanx for the trivia Ben. i thought you'd know the ins and outs of the history of such an iconic name. i know the Flying Spur is a Phaeton, but i still love the looks of it. all the road tests i've read have been superb as well. in a dream world i'd proba...
Hmmm, my info is slightly different...
The H.J. Mulliner design number 7443 and derivatives was used for all three series of the S-Type Continental and the Silver Cloud under the name of "Flying Spur". There is even a James Young design, nr. SVC100 which is rather similar, which is sometimes r...
Ooops, I should have known better!
Particularly since I know a guy who helped with the research on that RREC article... Thanks.
The Real McCoy.
