Bentley shite

[kinkersaab]

An old mate of mine pops in to see me some saturdays at the garage and has a collection of old stuff, he likes his cars but doesnt like cleaning them, they are to be used.  Today he brought his old bentley....he has kindly lent me it for a few days!  mrs ks and myself shall be lunching somewhere tomorrow and arrving in style.

 

at some point in tis life it has been converted to TURBO 

 

take note of the lovely lambswool overmats....  cant be many 209000 miles ones still running around

Very Nice....Although my own personal preference would be to lose the windscreen stickers...Otherwise, as said, very nice.

[kinkersaab]

Stunning! Looks in beautiful condition.

Though I wouldn't stand for all the shit on the floor in the back. Get Jeeves to sort that would you!

...and people complain about BL quality control.

If you mean the mis-matched clocks, the 180 mph speedo probably came from the same car as the engine.

The original speedo would have had an RR logo - always annoyed me when they were new, and showed how unimportant Bentley was pre-Turbo.

A superb thing.

PetrolTed who started Pistonheads has a new forum & that is Blatters.

 

 

That car is bloody wonderful & adding stupid power is totally a Bentley thing to do.

This looks a mighty fine waftmobile with some serious grunt to boot

[eddyramrod]

Thats glorious.

Words lifted straight off my tongue, so cleanly that I never felt a thing!

[Largactil]

Braw.

 

Are you still out in Banchory? I seem to find myself staying in Kingswells for a week with work, and am contemplating bringing the LNA up to Abergloom. I might pop by the garage to give it a run...

[kinkersaab]

Aye, do that. Am off on tuesday , but otherwise usually there.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys! The Blatters stickers were put on for the Le Mans Classic last year. Sadly at Folkstone on the way back it blew a suspension/brake pipe covering the turbo in oil, which resulted in a trip home by AA wagon (great service!). It has sat since then awaiting attention and the manufacture of some unique parts (the trouble with a hybrid in the old sense of the word) but was completed and MOTed last week. The stickers will come off tonight. The junk on the floor is also left over from its French trip, and had I known it was going out on loan would have at least put it in the boot!
