A nice honest review. I worked at Crewe for 37 years and the development & testing we put into that car was huge. As for the VW parts - yes we did use many of their parts but we often tweaked/redesigned/retuned to a Bentley spec and made them much better - that really pissed off the Germans🤣🤣

I've been fortunate enough to have some pretty decent wheel time in all Bentley models over the last 12 years, and I must admit, your review is spot on. Flying spurs are also a terrific "feel good" car, and more practical than the GT. Main dealer service is a good price, considering my old XJ6 used to be £500 or thereabouts. Bentley after-service is also second only to Rolls Royce (and that's REALLY picking hairs) The Conti is definitely on the "When I've paid the mortgage..." list.

Great video again. I have the RR 5.0 supercharged exactly like yours but on lpg as a daily runner & a 2004 Continental GT which I use regularly. It was my dream car & took me 5 years to pay for it, but totally worth it. Bought it with full Bentley history with 56k on the clock. Biggest bill in 6 years was £2k for new radiator (cheap from Scuderia) & water pump & drive belt. Got front brake discs from well known online parts place for £300 & they arrived stamped “Bentley Crewe”. Result. Many VW Audi parts crossover to the Bentley. Bottom line is as you say buy a good low mileage example & enjoy it. You may get the odd larger bill but totally worth it. Find a good mechanic you trust (mine is Audi trained) & don’t be scared! You will not be disappointed. As a total petrol head I’ve had a lot of cars but the Bentley is something special! I gaze at it every day & still can’t believe I own it!

Just wanted to stick with a hard top Convertible with performance. I have 500 BHP 4 seats and a very comfy ride when dialled in, so for me a no brainer! Beamer can be a bit jerky unless full right peddle commitment, probably down to the 2 turbos, but sheer performance is something else. Puts my SLK55. TVR 5.0 to shame!! Maybe in a few years I will end up with a Bentley or Aston but currently value for money/ low depreciation and a proper petrol head useable super car the BMW M4 takes some beating!!!!!

I have the 621 bhp supersport. DO NOT service these cars at 10k intervals ! Your oil is the lifeblood of any car. You should change the oil every 5k miles. Oil loses its properties. And gearbox sealed for life? No way. Change the oil and filter every 50k and watch for leaks around the gearbox sump. It's made of plastic and distorts. Lastly clean out the rubbish in the engine bay bulk head (plenum chamber) and clear the drain holes, failing which, you'll get damp in the passenger foot well which will mess up the car electrics situated in the void of the nsf wing and that is mega money to fix. Buy quality filters and fully synthetic 10 40 oil like Mobil 1. Follow these guidelines which will save you money and grief. TF

Great review, as with you when I first saw this car back in 2003 I realized it was my dream car and still hope to one day own or at least drive a Bentley before I get to old, here's hoping.

Great review Matt. I've driven several of these including the Speed and Supersport versions and have to agree that they are fabulous cars. Now if I could find a nice clean LHD model for that price (I live in Spain), I'd be very tempted. Do you still own this car? If so, an update on your experience of ownership would be fascinating.

What a realistic and encouraging review, I was lucky enough to buy an ultra low mileage, 2007 GTC six years ago, I too think this is the best car I have ever owned and driven. I still have the car today, my only regret is that I have only managed to amass a total of 20,000 miles. The feeling I get when driving is as exciting now, as it was when I first got the car. My original plan was to commute to our house in Southern Spain, on a fairly regular basis, for a variety of reasons, this never happened, hence the low mileage. I recently decided to sell the car, but I couldn't attract a single interested enquiry, could be due to covid, or maybe my asking price. Either way keeping one of the best cars, in the World, is no hardship. keep up the good work.
