Beautiful 1993 Bentley Brooklands Sedan Black With Cream Connolly Leather on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
IMPORTANT NOTICE: IF YOU ARE NOT A SERIOUS, EXPERIENCE EBAY BUYER DO NOT BID. THE WINNING BUYER DECIDED THAT HE WOULD RE-NEG ON HIS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE BENTLEY, DESPITE HIS OBLIGATION TO DO SO. HE HAS BEEN REFERRED TO RESOLUTION AND THE BENTLEY IS BEING RELISTED. GREAT CAR, FOR 1/2 THE NADA HIGH RETAIL PRICE. GOOD LUCK. 1993 Bentley Brooklands Short Wheelbase Sedan You are bidding on a beautiful example of a classic Bentley Brooklands Sedan. The car has 65K miles since new and has been meticulously maintained. The black paint is beautiful, as is the cream with black piping, Connolly leather interior. The Wilton wool carpets and mats show no wear and the walnut burl wood is in great shape. Tires are in very good condition, as is the glass and chrome. Headliner is perfect. The car starts immediately, drives perfectly and handles like a car half its size. Whether in town, or highway driving the Bentley is the nicest, well-appointed car I have ever owned. My wife and I recently relocated to Santa Barbara, from Kansas City, Missouri. We brought four cars with us; a 1978 Citroen AK250, a 1957 Porsche Speedster, a 1966 Morris Minor convertible and a 1967 MGB. We sold our Audi TT coupe and our Volvo C30, before we left Missuori. Once on the West Coast, we needed a four door, four seat car. I reached out to Chequered Flag International, in Marina del Rey, with whom I have been buying and selling cars for almost twenty years. We made a trade (plus cash) for the Bentley, surrendering the MGB. More recently, we have been given an opportunity to acquire an Audi A7 sedan, from a family friend,at a very good price. We have an opportunity to help our friends out. Truth is; we do not need two four door, four seat automobiles. Honestly, we drive the Morris and the Porsche, 90% of the time. We acquired the Bentley at a price far below market value, so you as the buyer benefit from that. According to the NADA automobile pricing index:
Original Low Average High
$138,500 $24,200 $31,800 $41,200 To be clear, this car is easily above average condition, actually much closer to High Retail. The reserve price is approximately half of the High Retail price. If you have ever wanted to own a fine, classic, hand-built British classic, this is your prime opportunity. Please e-mail me with any questions and I will answer them promptly. The car is being advertised here in Santa Barbara, so I reserve the right to end the auction early, in the event the car sells before the end of the auction. You may "show up" in a Mercedes, or BMW, but you ARRIVE in a Bentley. Good luck bidding. You will not be disappointed.

Bentley releases official Continental GT3 details [w/video]
Fri, 12 Jul 2013It's been almost a year since we first laid eyes on the Bentley Continental GT3, but this race-bred Continental GT is finally ready to show off its moves. After debuting last year at the Paris Motor Show, the Continental GT3 makes its racing debut today at the Goodwood Festival of Speed before competing in the FIA Blancpain Series next year.
While Bentley released some of the car's details last month, we now have all we need to know about this car such as its curb weight of less than 2,866 pounds, its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 packing 600 horsepower and four-way adjustable suspension dampers. The exterior of the car stays true to the design of the Continental GT but has been given a once over to improve aero, and the interior has been stripped down to the bare essentials for racing. This doesn't mean that all luxury was thrown out the window, though, as the Continental GT3's steering wheel, door pulls and seat are all covered in hand-stitched leather. Scroll down for the official press release as well as a video showing the car in action.
2015 Bentley Flying Spur V8
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Despite Bentley's reputation as a holier-than-thou, ultra-luxury brand, at the end of the day, the Big B is still a business. As such, ongoing trends like powertrain downsizing and model range expansion are more prevalent at Bentley than ever. Just look at the Continental range - what started as the GT W12 has expanded into the GTC W12, GT V8, GT V8 S, GTC V8, GTC V8 S, GT Speed and GTC Speed. Talk about "have it your way."
But there's good reason for that. So many of these vehicles, despite their hand-crafted, bespoke nature, are all - gasp! - plug-and-play exercises that allow Bentley to appeal to the broadest range of upper-lux buyers, while keeping development costs relatively low. It's a move that's indeed worked, the company managing to post healthy sales increases year after year. And that's only going to get better, following the launch of the Flying Spur sedan last year, not to mention the upcoming, highly anticipated SUV that's in the works. As Kevin Rose, Bentley's member of the board for sales, marketing and aftersales told me recently, "The best years are yet to come."
To further expand an already growing range, I recently hopped a plane to London to experience the second member of the Flying Spur family - the V8. This less-powerful Spur offers better fuel efficiency and a lower staring price, while not compromising any of the brand's core values of luxury and refinement above all. But to paraphrase what executive editor Chris Paukert said when he drove the Conti GT V8 in 2012, this is indeed The Thinking Man's Flying Spur. Here, less really is more.
Bentley announces Mulsanne upgrades to be shown in Geneva
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Proving that there's no such thing as too much luxury, Bentley has released details for the updated 2014 Mulsanne that will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Most of the additions are to improve rear-seat accommodations inside, with the addition of Comfort Specification and Entertainment Specification options.
The Comfort Specification adds some conveniences you might have in your living room, such as padded headrests, stowable footrests and seat cushions filled with duck down. Likewise, the new Entertainment Specification brings tech you might find in your home, including a wifi hotspot, seat trays that are now bigger to accommodate an iPad and keyboard and an entertainment system that gets a pair of eight-inch screens, a DVD player, wireless headphones and premium audio. Rear occupants in the 2014 Mulsanne will also get revised rear door panels with more storage and power-retractable curtains for both side- and rear windows.
Bentley is also offering up new paint and leather colors, too, and to finish it all off, Mulsanne customers will also be able to order a six-piece, handmade luggage set.
