Does anyone here own one of these please?
I am thinking of buying one second hand and am looking at models between 2006 and 2010 which, quite incredibly in today's tough market can be obtained for similar cost to a dozen or so decent CW watches! New they are £150,000 +
My problem is that I am remote from any authorised Bentley Service agent so I am anxious to know how reliable these fabulous vehicles are from someone with impartial user experience.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Bentley Flying Spur
You've maybe read this already Robin, however...

Probably other reviews on Parkers, Honest John that are also worth looking at.

Re: Bentley Flying Spur
The cost of buying the Bentley may be only the cost of a dozen or so decent CW’s, however; the cost of OWNING the car may be more like buying a dozen or so Tudor’s. Signed, former Porsche 911 owner.

Re: Bentley Flying Spur
Thanks Mark. You may be right but I think it might be a matter of luck. I just want the car to cruise the Cotswolds on a sunny Sunday afternoon and hopefully go between the annual service and MOT with nothing in between. I currently achieve this with my 1998 Jaguar Sovereign which has 30,000 miles on the clock and which I have had since new!
