Veneer is used for stability under huge temperature and humidity changes a car is subjected to. The other reason is that the pattern of the wood is mirrored about the centre line if the car by book matching consecutive sheets of veneer. The pattern you see on each door capping is essentially the same. You can't achieve this any other way. Birds eye maple is cut differently so cannot be book matched but this was a rare option.

​@@mondvogel6124 I specifically said "A modern technologically advanced car with exceptional levels of traditional hand crafting and attention to detail" and then offered you a challenge, one that you've ignored. You have no concept of quality or how much effort it takes to get from very good to excellent. At no point have I claimed that they're the most technologically advanced cars and why would they need to be? Cars have long been beyond the point where much of that technology is usable or necessary. Unfortunately too many people have access to money whose only skill is to kick a football or pretend to be someone else in a movie. Most however appreciate fine things and therefore have a greater understanding of why these cars are above everything else I'll give you a simple example, paintwork. There is no automatic paint process or individual in the world skilled enough to produce the standard of finish necessary at this level. To achieve that requires hand wet sanding and machine polishing and this can only be done manually. This is the only way a glass like finish is achievable and is a traditional process that goes back to the days of horse drawn carriages. Another example would be the wood finishing. This is a polyester material that's used for many items including pianos and guitars. There are non sand polyester materials that give a glossy finish and have enough build to fill in the grain of the wood and level out to a good degree. Most would accept that in their spam can clone Mercedes or Range Rover but only hand sanding can achieve that ultimate finish. Sanding polyester is hard work and takes numerous repetitive steps using progressively finer grades before a final polish. When you're in a car you see these items up close and appreciate the attention to detail if you have a trained eye. People whi buy these cars tend not to fill their homes with crap from Ikea, they know and understand quality. Many cars have leather and usually it's of a very low grade. Even high priced cars use substandard leather that is made using a process called graining. This entails passing the hide through a pair of rollers that emboss and artificial grain and this is to hide scars and defects that would otherwise be obvious. This is the only leather most people see but these cars use natural grained hide. These are selected during the manufacturing process to be the best of the best but even then they're not perfect. Most manufacturers will simply use a similar cutting pattern for each hide but this doesn't take into account any natural defects or weaknesses it has. At this level every hide is examined and cutting patterns worked out to avoid these defects. This causes much higher wastage and cost. Many hides are rejected and sent back but even that's time consuming and incurs cost. You also have no idea of how much a limited scale of production has upon cost. Prior to the takeover by VW Bentley really struggled. Prestige means nothing so when they needed specialist components specific to their cars made had to pay a fortune for them. If they went to Bosch and wanted a few thousand of something they were laughed at. They now have access to a common parts bin for many components but still there's a lot that is unique to the car. A Bentley owner doesn't want to play "spot which car this came from" with their car. You mention "longevity, accuracy, fitment". Longevity is easily dealt with. They'll last as long as there's a supply of parts. All cars have weaknesses and when the supply of new parts that commonly fail runs out then they'll have to be salvaged from scrapped cars. When they're not available that's it, just like any car. Longevity isn't an issue like it once was as the business plan is now very different. All Bentley are interested in is selling new cars and sustaining a second hand market enabling them to do that. After five years they don't care. Accuracy and fitment is a much bigger issue. Prior to VW the quality of the body shells were poor but all that meant was that time was spent later putting defects right. At the time this resulted in tight shut lines and perfectly level panels vastly superior to the spam can produced then. That all changed in 90s when the big mass car producers changed their production methods and started to produce highly accurate bodies. Look at a modern Bentley and their shut lines are still better but the difference is not great as it once was but once again that last bit of detail costs disproportionately more. In terms of its value, in my opinion they're cheap for what they are given the inefficiencies of small scale production and degree of hand crafting. That's where a significant part of the build cost goes. Compare the cost of a modern Bentley like the Flying Spur against a similar model from the mid 90s and you'll see that in real terms the cost has fallen while every aspect of the car has got better.

Plot twist: YOURE ALLERGIC TO WOOD 😂
