Think they put the steering wheel on the wrong side

Looks like a driver and pricing I guess is about right provided always factory serviced, etc.

It looks great, miles are high for my liking, but it is a lot of car for the money.

Full Bentley service history?
Clean title, no damage, repairs, paintwork?
Interior unmarked, no cracks in leather?
Wheels undamaged, good tires ie brand and wear even etc?
Everything work, all keys books etc present?

Just a few things I would like to know.

GOOD LUCK.

Keith.

Do you like the color scheme? Little dark for me but I could see it perfect for some.

Always liked the wheels on the Speed. They're very similar to another car I like, the Mercedes SL65 Black series. And Aston Martin had a similar set on one of theirs too.

While obviously the wheel is not the decider for your purchase, it certainly adds to the look. This is one good looking vehicle!

Hi Keith: Its got full history and would appear to be a good one those wheels do look a pain to clean, but I use a spray on wheel cleaner " Wonder Wheels" it quite amazing how it works and should work well on them.

Dr: I quite like the colour inside, the ebony colour it very clean IMHO It also looks more modern and up to date

Ken: Thanks

That's good to know as I have not found any good wheel cleaners that do what they say. The inner barrels are what I like to keep clean so I have to do it from the inside with the wheels turned.

I may see if I can get some of your product when I come over in June. Is it available from a store or online?

Thanks

Keith.

Agree, the interior is great! The previous black GT here was all black inside too. A bad boy for sure

I pulled the trigger and this is what I bought.

Deposit paid, wheels need a refurb, but apart from that is should be OK. I collect it on the 4th June

I have always thought the black on black was very professional and clean with a very business like atmosphere. Just like me. I guess I'm a tad more of a flash and brash kind of guy. Sunnyside I hope that car makes your days even sunnier.
