The only pics I have ATM are ones that have already been disucssed:

81897

81898


Continental GT Speed. W12. 600hp. Enough torque to stop the planet.
It's utterly mad. Absolutely a hyperactive doberman puppy in a Saville Row suit.
In normal mode it's the most refined, most comfy, civilised place on the planet, and while I've not taken it on the twisties, did a couple of tunnel runs on the way back. Sounds like a banshee that's just been let out after lockdown 4.0.

Drop a couple of gear and plant your foot (in the carpet that is at least half an inch deep) and it doesn't take off like a 4200 or a GT. It takes off fast but then it just does! not! stop! Basically ever! Until everything blurs like a video game.

Tread on the brakes and your face falls off. They are mammoth.

Obviously I got a warning the moment I pulled away from the dealer. Low fuel :)

More technically:
Smidge under 85k
Service on the nose (pretty much) every 10k miles. Most of it with Bentley.
One advisory in the entire MOT history
£4.3k (!) Audio upgrade (https://bentleyconversions.co.uk/bentley-sounds-and-security/) which has the worst manual ever written, but DAB, Garmin Nav, front and rear cameras

Only niggles I could find:
Wiper blades need changing (£18 a pair)
The rear camera is a bit rubbish
The plugs weren't changed at the 80k service, but it idles and runs smooth as.
The soft close doors don't seem to work, but that may just be me

Gave me just under £4k on the Jaaaaaag and I are (right now) a very happy Catman.

Although I fully expect something to go 'ping' in a horrifically expensive fashion any time about.....now ;)

Booked for a full valet with clay and wax in a couple of weeks, and then we'll see where we go.

Congratulations. A beautiful beast. Interior especially looks fantastic. Enjoy!
