1970 Bentley T1 (rolls Royce Silver Shadow), Survivor, Service History on 2040-cars
Moultonborough, New Hampshire, United States
This car is absolutely beautiful and and is in great condition. Interior is fresh and very well preserved. 87.6k miles. Interior is very fresh with no rips, tears or stains. It smells very nice, with a fresh smell of leather and almost a new car smell. Runs, drives, shifts very nicely. I am confident driving this car on a long road trip. Breaks have excellent pressure and the car stops very well. Paint, interior, and trim appear look great. Extensive service records dating back 30 years (please see pictures of the file). The Rolls Royce historical archives has 50 pages of documentation on the car, stated as: 'Originally Black, Cherry Red Carpet, Deep Red Fine Lines.' It is my belief that this car has never been altered and that all of the paint is in its original color combination consistent with the history of the car. Dash is nearly perfect. Wood veneer is slightly chipped on the drivers side door, other areas are in very good condition. Seats look and smell great, no tears or stains. Headliner is original (wool) and has one small blemish about the size of 1/3 of a finger tip. There are several very slight door dings that could be dealt with by a dent doctor. Absolutely no rust or evidence of rust repair, undercarriage is excellent. Piping under the car is nice an no unusual corrosion of any sorts that I can see. Original tools and manuals complete the package of originality. I have every service record going back to 1973 organized in sequence, notes from the previous owner, finance bank note pay-off from the 70's, bill of sales from the 80's, titles and registrations from the previous owners, brochures, and manuals. This is a very well documented automobile. Please see the service record photo that I believe to be the 1st servicing from 1973. Any questions call 603-715-7519 On Nov-26-13 at 16:27:07 PST, seller added the following information: Please see these photos taken this evening from my heated garage: ***Please note the extensive documentation of the car in the files of paperwork, literally hundreds of documents. On Nov-30-13 at 08:59:40 PST, seller added the following information: I received a question for more details of the mechanics of the car: The car is mechanically in great working order. A/C needs charge. I have been using the car regularly to events and dinners out with my wife without issues. Little things about the car that make it nice are that all lights, electronics-overhead lights, trunk lights, door lights, map light, windows, heat, fans are working...Hydraulics were done by RR dealer within 5k miles, and the car has every receipt from 40 years of proper care resulting in a very mechanically sound vehicle. If you have 'zero feedback' please contact/communicate with me. Thank you. On Nov-30-13 at 17:01:21 PST, seller added the following information: An Ebay member thinking about bidding asked about the paint and one of the photos showing a reflection. That is a reflection on the passenger door/fender, not a major blemish as questioned. The sun was setting in that direction of the car as I took the photo. Pictures on the link will show that side of the car without a reflection. |

Bentley Flying Spur pictures leaked early
Tue, 19 Feb 2013We can imagine that automakers are among the groups salivating at the prospect of a colony on Mars - perhaps a photo studio on the red planet will be far enough away from the terrestrial Internet to keep everything they've got from leaking all over the web. In the midst of Bentley's teasing for the next-generation Flying Spur, someone got in early on a set of photos and decided to share them with us.
The transformation is all about character, the super sedan's lines getting injected with a whole lot more of it. The family face of the Continental line is evident, the new Spur getting a more upright grille than before and a Mulsanne-esque undivided lower grille. The front fenders get narrow, horizontal vents, and behind that the character line that starts with at the hood shutline runs in a long arc to the rear door, then rolls up into haunches that terminate at the very back. Lower down, a character line cuts up the bulk up the sides. In profile there is a definite hint of this being a junior Mulsanne.
The only item we see at the moment that could take some getting used to are the horizontal taillights. Housing a large single element topped by curved red brows, our initial impression is that they lack the flow of the rest of the car. Inside, it's what you'd expect from a Bentley.
Average Bugatti owner has 84 cars, 3 jets, 1 yacht
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Between Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley and Bugatti, the Volkswagen Group has no lack of prestige marques under its umbrella. And while some of these marques may produce models that compete against each other, each seems to be profitable enough in its own right to justify its existence. But what about Bentley and Bugatti? Surely these marques cater to the same customers, right?
Not according to their shared CEO. "The clientele between Bentley and Bugatti is remarkably different," said Wolfgang Dürheimer in an interview with Bloomberg. "The Bentley customer on average owns 8 cars. The average Bugatti customer has about 84 cars, 3 jets and 1 yacht."
That may be a slight exaggeration (we'd have expected three yachts and one jet), but it puts things into perspective: Bentleys are for the one percent. Bugattis are for the one percent of that one percent. Which only goes to show why it's taken Bugatti over eight years to sell 450 Veyrons - a number of units it would take Bentley about two weeks to move, albeit at about one tenth the price.
First Bentley SUV teased in video short
Tue, 27 May 2014The Bentley SUV is coming and there's not a thing we can do to stop it. The latest indication that the wing-badged behemoth is on the way is this teaser video, which (thankfully?) doesn't show us a whole lot of the new vehicle, aside from its Continental GT-inspired headlights and its Mulsanne-inspired grille. Of course, we've seen this fascia before.
Via Bentley's associated press release, we now know that the SUV will head into production in 2016 with a range of engines that will expand to include a plug-in hybrid in 2017.
There are a few other details, such as the large, five-spoke wheels and side grilles. Whatever the new SUV is called, it should be wearing Continental-esque taillights and a rather aggressive rake to the roof behind the rear doors. That said, none of the other styling clues are as clear as our look at the SUV's face.
