This is a family owned car ordered new for my mother by my father for her 80th birthday. It was ordered with everything and the sticker was over 180k. We decided the car was too much for her when my father died. I decided to buy it and had it shipped to my home, here in Palm Springs and I rarely drive it. I spent about 25k on replacing the front end with the 2008 "Speed" front end, and rear panel with tips. I had the ECM remapped and it now has over 700 BHP and over 799 Ft Lbs. I have even put in the $2,000.00 Speed suspension module to make it a virtual "GT SPEED". You must be careful, as all four wheels will spin even with the traction control on. I bought the Mulliner Drilled Pedals and shift knob as well, and upgraded the clock to the newer version. It has always been serviced by Bentley on a yearly basis and I just had a very extensive service done at Desert European 300 miles ago. I have had all fluids replaced and even had the brakes serviced. The car came with the factory chrome 19" wheels, however I decided to update the look of the car by adding the longer front end as on the 2008 Speed version. I also bought a new set of 20" Speed wheels and correct "B" Bentley Pirelli tires. Even though this car was ordered with the lambs wool mats, I ordered a brand new set and do not put my shoes on them. I do not allow anyone to sit in the car but myself, and when at the dealer I am the one that drives it into the service bay. I do not want my leather to look horrible and wrinkled like most of these do. It has a factory Sirus XM radio, factory Bentley Nokia phone, all three keys ( I removed the tabs on the ends to keep them straight, so I knew which key was the master). I never let anyone else drive the car and the only other person that did, was my mother. When I bought the car I got .09% financing, so I didn't think it was smart to give up my money ( to purchase it outright) as long as I could buy the car on the "Banks Dime". The only other mechanical work that has ever been done besides the regular services, was the replacement of the Navigation unit which cost $2,800.00; the replacement of the blend air door motors which was an additional $1,800.00, plus the $2,000.00 suspension module that I had put in. Those are the three services you will see on the full brand new CarFax at the bottom of this listing.Please note that the car was "bumped" on the LH rear bumper, while parked with my mother sitting in the car by a woman visiting Boca Raton. This woman was backing her rental car out of it's parking space and her front bumper rubber rubbed against the edge of the Bentley's bumper. Since, the car was a rental, my mother was "in a panic", so she called for the Police. A report was made simply because it was required by the Rental Car Company, though no damage was done (when I got the car I did notice a little black streak on the edge of the rear bumper, I used 3M Finesse-it compound and the spot was gone). I have since had the entire car color sanded and polished to a "Piano-like" finish. It has no dents, dings or defects in the paint whatsoever. This car has never been on a freeway.... therefore, NONE of the paint, glass, headlamps or "Jewelry" has any pits or chips. My Ebay reputation speaks for itself. I am a Virgo and I am true to my personality. Perfection or nothing. The headliner is not falling down like most all I have seen, and the seatbelts look like they have NEVER been used. The seats are perfect, not wrinkled or crushed as happens to so many of these cars. The interior of this car smells absolutely brand new, just as it did when it left the factory; It has NEVER been smoked in, and NO perfumes or " hands with lotions" have ever touched the inside of this car. The trunk has never been used and it even comes with the optional factory battery tender. All books, keys and pamphlets are present and accounted for. This is a turn key car and I promise that you will never locate one better than this.... there just aren't any finer. Unless told otherwise, you would think this was a 2010 GT SPEED!!! People comment especially on how much they love this color; which was also a special ordered color which cost an additional $6,400.00 (It matched my mothers eyes)In conclusion, I have over $150,000.00 invested in this car, though I do realize, high end cars such as these are not investments.... they are pure "Indulgence". If you want a "TURN-KEY" car that is also a "showpiece". then this is the car for you. I am selling this car at a massive loss, and any reasonable offer will be considered. I must make room for the, new Mercedes CL 65, I just purchased and the Bentley must go. I only have room for so many cars and if one comes in... sadly, one must go. It's that simple. Please feel free to ask me any question after reading all the information in the above text.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Bentley Bentayga plug-in hybrid spied using V6 power

Fri, Jul 7 2017

Bentley confirmed plans for a plug-in hybrid version of the Bentayga in early 2015 and said the electric SUV would be ready for 2017. It seems that the luxury automaker will keep its word, because one of our spy photographers spotted this nearly undisguised model out testing. It looks identical to the normal Bentayga, with the exception of an additional little flap on the left side for a plug. Although Bentley confirmed the hybrid's development way back in 2015, it left out a few details about what the powertrain would be, only saying it would either be a V8 or a V6. Our spy photographer was able to shed some light on this by looking up the prototype's registration. Apparently it has a 3.0-liter engine under its proud hood, so it's a reasonable bet the Bentayga has a V6. Since Bentley promised the hybrid would be ready for 2017, and because this car is hiding almost nothing, we would expect to see the car make a full debut by the end of the year. It should have an electric range of just over 30 miles.

Bentley putting Mulsanne-based Azure, Brooklands back on the table [w/poll]

Sun, 27 Jul 2014

Big plans are afoot at Bentley. The quintessentially British automaker has just about signed off on the final version of its new SUV, and will surely roll out more versions of the Continental in the coming years, but that's not all. It's said to be considering a new sports coupe smaller than the Continental GT, but the latest reports coming in from the UK suggest that it also has plans for the Mulsanne's platform.
Currently, the Mulsanne is only available in one configuration, but Bentley is widely expected to be bringing a new, more powerful Mulsanne Speed to the Paris Motor Show this fall with around 550 horsepower. That's not all, however, as word comes in that the Flying B marque is planning to re-introduce both the Azure and the Brooklands as competitors to the Rolls-Royce Phantom DHC and Phantom Coupe, respectively.
For those who don't remember, the Azure and Brooklands were a pair of two-doors based on the Arnage that preceded the Mulsanne at the top of Bentley's range. The Azure was a convertible and the Brooklands a fixed-roof coupe, both of them larger than the Continental GT and powered by the company's evergreen (yet decidedly un-green) 6.75-liter V8.
