mulsanne or continental gt

Hi Guys,
Well after much deliberation I thought bugger it you only live once and sold the 25yr old Mulsanne and purchased
a 2008 Continental Gt Speed. What a machine.Fantastic. 50,000 miles full Bentley history. I'm still going through all the toys
with the help of the owners handbook ,invaluable.I've just returned from a 900 mile tour of Devon & Cornwall and found country lanes
and Bentleys aren't a good mix.Well, fingers crossed after looking at a few of the faults I hope I've bought a good one.

Enjoy your new toy. I have had our 2008 Continental GT Speed for several years now and it is by far one of the nicest cars I have ever had. It is surprising how fast it is. I have never had a problem with it.

That's a colour I havn't seen before Gene,it looks well. I hope I have the same problem free ownership as you've had.It surprised me how well and quick it drove.The car is a dark sapphire blue and looks black in a different light.Sorry about the ringtone,took with my phone and i'm not very good at editing

The color on mine is called Bronze it was a special order color from the Arnage range colors. Dark sapphire is beautiful, one of my favorite colors.
Wishing you the best with your new car.

I too have a 2008 Continental GT Speed Dark Sapphire. All of the colors look great. It is like driving a timeless machine. So far no real gremlin problems with mine. Lots of luck with future drives. Don't make a Garage Queen out of it.
