I have a Continental Flying Spur and paid £20k 3 1/2 years ago. I've not shelled out any big amounts in repairs and maintenance. Like every car, prestige or not, if it's well cared for, serviced regularly and maintenance done without delay, they are far more likely to be reliable and mines done 90K miles. I'd be more warey of a example that hasn't been driven than one that has. My best tip, unless you drive it daily, is by a trickle charger and ensure you keep it in a garage. I love mine and it's been dependable. I'd have another in a heartbeat if I ever sell this one, or maybe, it's big brother, the Mulsanne. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful and majestic car! It may be the old model, but amazing!

I have owned a 54 continental GT for over 3 years now, bought with 35k miles on, road tax £390, insurance £263, service at Bentley specialist £800, bi annual as I do 2500 miles a year, mpg is 20 at best, 30 is miles off imo.
Absolutely stunning car, every mile is a smile.
Do your research, don't buy cheap for the sake of it, get the "right" one, you'll love it

The FS is by far the coolest Bentley. Buy one, forget the chauffeur, drive it yourself.

That rear passenger area...perfect for kids with jam & chocolate.

The Video I didn’t know I needed.
With the prices of these in the second hand market, not far off the price of a solid estate car.

I’m thinking about getting a 2016 flying spur this was hilariously informative. Not that I’m planning to have a baby but hey it’s nice to know I have room.

I have a 2015 GTC W12 Speed. A magnificent daily drive and such presence on the road. I thoroughly recommend getting a good secondhand Bentley.

im not too much of a fan of the exterior, the circle headlights and the tailights didnt age too well in my opinion. which is why ill just stick to my civic

[Lord.Crawford]

There is one in the local garage and I just said to the wife how about that for a Daily (whilst out pushing the buggy for a walk to get the little one to sleep). . . . you legend 2 days later this comes out - great content fella

Amazing. One cool dad. Keep the good work going.

I've only been in a early model gt. I was a passenger but when he put his foot down it was smooth and effortless which is no surprise

Rolls is designed for the owner to sit in the back... Bentley - the front.

Though I still adore Bentley, and will more than likely look at picking one up someday, out of all the cars that I've owned looking towards the super make brands, Bentley isn't fun like they used to be, they're not as bespoke as they used to be... they're just more German.

They're stuck at the crossroads of English bling meets fastidiously applied Teutonic frugality.

There's so many things that used to make a Bentley a Bentley, being the grand example of British grand touring, the stuff they are today is just a "murdered out mess" on the road.

What you have depicted here is the last of the classic Bentleys. I hope the Germans don't make the same mistake Tata did with Jaguar.

In regards to the insurance. No its about bang on. The insurance companies this year and cleaning us out. Mine went up 80%

Hi Ben. Hope your doing good.
That's one cool Bentley. I like how they mark the isofix ports on the seats in the back.
Stay safe and take care.

Hi Ben great review I currently drive a 2019 Gtc paying just over £1000 insurance fully comp, granted I may be a bit older than your driver but last year HR Owen wanted to charge me over 4000 for the same cover,

[davidwass]

Kids would be in the boot. No question....

[PashaJ]

Any plans you or JayEmm will review the Arnage T? Are you aware of the Arnage T having isofix points?
