Spotted on the I495: Bentley Brooklands

So today, I saw a total of 5 Bentley's and 1 Aston Martin DB9. I did not really pay much attention to the Bentley's because I see them reguarly on the I495 in Long Island, NY - 1 GT, 2 GTC, 1 Flying Spur, but...one did catch my eye.

I was driving, and In my driver's side mirror, I saw the grill far in the back a few hundred feet. There were a few cars in between at first, so I thought - man, I think that's an Arnage! I could tell by far away that it had to be a newer Arnage, at least 2005+ after the body change.

But as it came closer, I saw it had 2 doors - oh man, a Brooklands!

It was really beautiful. I drove along side it for a few miles, and was able to snap a few pictures with my iphone.

Anyone have any idea how many of these have been sold already in the NY Tristate area? I figure not too many, it's the only one I've seen.

Hey Vik, sounds wonderful. You have quite the stable there.

I was wondering If you could take some pictures of that wonderful stable of yours and post them. We all would love to see those cars.

I know you know how to use the camera as I see you clean other peoples cars. Please post when you can.

Thanks,

Ice

I do detailing, a way to make money and a way to keep me busy, I like it, considering I have ocd and if its not clean enough to eat off of, its filfthy. the fiat 500 is just a compulsive thing my dad had to buy at an auction, its finishing up its final stages of resto. my dad always had a knack for odd little cars like fiats, minis, etc....
