General Comments:

This car is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. I have owned a lot of cars.

I am 72 years old. I have wanted a Bentley since I was 15 years old. This car has beautiful black paint. The yellow leather and dark wood interior is in excellent condition with little or no visible wear. My wife and I use this car for our weekly 60 mile trip to and from our farm. The car takes sharp curves with its huge Michelin tires and the 6750 CC V8 never fails to power the Bentley out of them.

Although we are old enough to need a driver, we appreciate the way it handles narrow blacktop and gravel roads. We are nearly 200 miles from the closest dealer, but do not anticipate needing him. This car came with a complete library of service and maintenance manuals. Even our sheep are impressed with this car!!!

Faults:

Failed to start once in the first week of ownership, trucked it to the local Bentley dealer, worked fine when plugged into the diagnostic machine and has never happened again. Get this - the dealer didn't charge me a cent as they couldn't find anything wrong after trying for 4 hours! First service was $2,000 after 12 months of trouble free motoring.

General Comments:

Unbelievably comfortable and cosseting. Makes other luxury cars seem pointless.

Faults:

Nothing has ever gone wrong on this Bentley.

General Comments:

Why consider lesser cars if you can have a classic Rolls Royce or Bentley at reasonable prices.

Find a good low mileage one with service history and the car will be a lifelong joy.

Very fast, 100 % reliable, and oh so classy!

You should buy one even if only for the combined Connolly leather, wood and Wilton carpet smell alone, sit down and relax.

Faults:

New engine management computer required due to incompetence of an air conditioning company which spiked the the unit accidentally while recharging the A/C system. New unit bought from Bosch while I was on holiday in Germany for NZ$2000 instead of NZ$8000 through a New Zealand agent.

New fuel governor for the fuel injection unit bought for NZ$570.00.

Valve for the height control cleaned up so car no longer crouches in the garage overnight - $300.

Three new tyres purchased as originals, all developed bulges at 220 kilometres per hour which made the ride thereafter somewhat uncomfortable!

General Comments:

I'm pleased to say that this car now runs like clockwork and is an absolute pleasure to drive... boundless power and a wonderfully quiet, smooth ride makes this the best Rolls Royce/Bentley I have owned so far.. Mark you it took me an additional $20000 to get to this point in addition to the not inconsiderable purchase price...
