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
MSRP

Low
Retail

Average
Retail

High
Retail

 

$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.

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."

Bentley mulling own spec series for gentlemen racers?

Thu, 06 Dec 2012

We began to salivate when we saw the Bentley Continental GT3 up close and personal at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. The thought of a track-going Continental GT conjured up notions of the Bentley Boys, the original gentlemen racers, tearing down the Mulsanne straight. Well, according to AutoGuide, it appears our wistful ponderings will be realized in the form of an international spec racing series.
Similar to the Porsche Carrera Cup or the Ferrari Challenge, this will be a one-make series, and Bentley seeks to run races in Europe, North America and Asia. As for the latter, Bentley Board Member for Marketing Kevin Rose suggested that China will be the likely host of an Asian race. According to Rose, sportscar racing is of interest to Bentley's Chinese customers. He also says that there will be participation by dealers. "Our dealers are by definition car nuts," claims Rose.
While the Continental GT3 is being developed for pro-level use, Bentley is apparently working on a turn-key car for gentlemen racers. According to Rose, "We want to make it as easy as possible." While that doesn't sound like the devil-may-care Bentley Boys of yore, it's likely better to attract participation. The first trials are expected for 2013, and Bentley is even considering making vehicles available for privateer teams.

Bentley poised to join four-door coupe game?

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Bentley may be all hot and bothered with plans for its finally approved ultra-lux SUV, but the marque's attentions may not solely be limited to a two-box range expansion. That's according to AutoExpress, which quotes company CEO Wolfgang Schreiber as being interested in launching a 'four-door coupe' variant of its popular Continental range (pictured). According to Schrieber, "I definitely wouldn't say no to the idea... with the new Flying Spur, we have a model that supports the Mulsanne, and a coupe with four doors could sit below that."
The more rakish sedan isn't tipped to launch before 2016 - the brand will be too busy launching the Flying Spur and furthering work on the as-yet-unnamed SUV to pull ahead the project. The plan would appear to make a lot of sense, as the additional bodystyle on the back of the Continental platform would likely command more money than the rest of the line (see also: Mercedes-Benz CLS and BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe) while basically just being a new top hat on an existing architecture. This isn't the first time AutoExpress has promulgated this Bentley 4DC idea, however. Back in 2010, it offered a similar report, but at that point, it anticipated the model would be cheaper than the Continental, suggesting it would be based on a platform shared with the Audi A7.
AutoExpress notes the additional model would help Bentley achieve its ambitious sales targets to drive from last year's 8,510 units sold to 15,000 by 2018, though most of that volume still figures to come from the new utility vehicle.
