TheOtherStu Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 30 minutes ago, SiC said: No its a Bentley I always thought it looked a bit Bentley like. Ironically, it holds its value better than the E class too, even though Chrysler pulled out of the UK market some years ago. Talking of Bentley, of course, most of the parts are shared with the Volkswagen Phaeton (and the engine with the Touareg W12). We've mentioned the Rover 75? I remember taking mine apart to fit some aftermarket parts and being amazed how much of it was BMW badged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Certain Tatra 613s, I think series 4 but obviously the ones from the late 80s/early 90s use air vents, buttons and Ash tray from the Škoda Favorit. Obviously it has far more buttons. And the Škoda. LightBulbFun and Lacquer Peel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 99 is below and still looks remarkably similar) lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
