Some years ago a mate on a Honda VFR 750 pulled up alongside a Bentley on a dual carriageway , lights changed so he gave it the beans.
next day at work he asked me what engine was in it , 6.0 twin turbo I think, why
I’ve left a lot of sports cars for dead on the east lancs road but that Bentley kept up with me right up to 130 , he couldn’t get past me but I could hear it in my right ear all the way
I looked on the Bentley website but all it said for bhp was “ adequate”
Another guy I know stopped to look at a continental at a dealer , the dealer said he could have it for the weekend , so he did , he was smitten with it , totally , he spent the next week trying to make the numbers work but couldn’t .
if I had a choice of 2 manufacturers , Aston or Bentley , 35k , and balls of steel it’d 100% be the Bentley
