2021 Bentley Flying Spur V8 review - can you hustle it?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Bentley Flying Spur is now here in V8 form. It's the entry-level Flying Spur, so it'll only set you back £154,000. Wait. Join me on a voyage of discovery as we find out whether it's fast, fun or just a lovely lump of furniture. Spoiler: it's my new lottery-win car.

What a machine ..and looks awesome in that colour ..thanks great vid....you lucky thing.
Very good color combo
Loved the review , we have the identical colour and specifications over on our channel with a first drive in NZ, the colour really pops on our roads !
Great video, thanks....
Jumps around in mud before climbing in 😄
I was looking for something amusing as well as informative while dreaming about which Bentley I would buy if. . . and I found you, Tim. Lovely stuff. I like this presentation very much, your humour is my humour, I haven't heard 'scroat' in ages, it should be restored to the English language, and all in all, thank you.

Thanks Stuart! Glad to have you onboard. I was checking Flying Spur prices on eBay earlier and sadly they've not fallen to my £2000 budget yet.

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff Well at least you get to test drive stuff like this, which probably makes it worse. The rest of us and our 2000 quid budgets just go on telling ourselves we don't want a Bentley anyway, do we?
British, red and image problem? Hmmmm.. Sarah Ferguson? Glad you found the wayward GoPro !
Now that's the car for me.. very nice. Big thumbs up 👍.

@@danw5150 Yup! Luckily I heard it come off… had to sprint 300 metres and got to it before anyone ran it over!
I'd choose the V8 or wait for the PHEV model if I was in the market. The V8 saves 100kg compared to the W12 as well.
In Au we only have the V12 ATM. £350,000... thanks for coming. 🤑🥺 What went wrong with Clarkson's?
I think the base price of this car now is like 220,000.
few weeks ago i got passed by one at a very high speed, i was 150 the bentley was around 220 kph and it sounds diiiirtyyy
Those holes on the rear seats is actually for the rear entertainment system, which is detachable. I'm a bit disappointed you don't know this.

I’m disappointed too, please accept my humble apologies.
Great car! I would have it over a rolls just because the engine is so special. I hate the black wheels tho!
Bentley is a boss car

It's based on a Porsche Panamera and an Audi A8L.
Flying spur or the new Ghost?

Bentley all day every day! Surprisingly easy to choose. The Ghost is still very much a wafty thing where the act of driving is still slightly removed. The Bentley can do hooning and wafting equally well.
Heee hee heeeee!

The coup proved successful, yes.
I love the flashy chrome look on these mighty fine cars. I will never understand this fad with plain black trimmings. The black looks cheap.
What a shame your opening comment about "nonsense" was substantiated with your politically loaded closing comment .....people come to hear about a car and get your political views, you know how to lose an audience.

Thumbs down for bringing your personal politics into a car review video. Sod off!

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff you sound quite unprofessional for a car you tuber. And that’s all that should matter. Why don’t you either accept the criticism or ignore it. Your channel is so small that you have to engage with every commenter you disagree with? Then it will remain small.
