    Totally agree. The ‘Tesla screen effect’ has pervaded almost everything now, much to my chagrin. Some people are under the mistaken illusion that it substitutes for a nice dashboard. It does not. And it’s cheap.

    If I was rich, I'd definitely buy this Bentley. Not because it's a good car or an executive one, it's because Carfection made a bloody good review + promotional video on this car. Amazing presentation and amazing cinematography! Kudos to the cinematography crew + editors and the presenter!! Again, it's a bloody amazing car! I wished I was rich!

I was thinking what a superbly filmed video this was, when Henry then smoothly turns it into a wonderful little documentary on Woolf "Babe" Barnato, and all those locations that wafted by become relevant. Excellent work all round! Btw, according to the Bank of England's website 'inflation calculator', that £100k investment into Bentley in 1926 would be the equivalent of £6,503,783.78 in today's money...

    Two Things. The ride. I really think the issue you mention is more to do with the wheel size. I would go size or two down and I bet that would sort the ride out. The other, more serious thing with this car is the tiny glasshouse. Its like your driving a countach. Tiny side windows massive A and B pillars. I wish they had made the side windows bigger, it gives a much better less claustrophobic view .

    I'd have thought the secondary ride issues might be at least partly resolved by not speccing 22 inch wheels, you can opt for 20s or 21s. You don't see the wheels when you're wafting along in supreme comfort, and when you have Bentley levels of wealth you don't give a monkeys what anyone thinks of your choice of wheel design.

    Honestly I’d take the 22’s. People are different I guess. For me I’d rather have the 22. Not to appeal for people but for myself. I like to look at my cars and just smile every time I approach it. I love the wheel 🛞 to body ratio in any car. I don’t want the wheel to look small when the car is massive. I’m so used to sound, I like to feel attached to the road I’m driving. I mean I can drive like chauffeur and make cars that aren’t wofty feel wofty.
