I’ve been in this little beauty! I drove the XJS convertible last year as a 50th birthday treat, and the lovely people at Drive Dad’s Car took me and my dad out in the Bentley afterwards. Top guys, and a lovely day out. I heartily recommend a visit.

Excellent review Mr Lloyd, I get what you mean about the interior being somewhat 1960s in style and feel. The interiors really improved with the facelift, especially the pre BMW switchgear cars.

Yes, the later Brooklands models had a much more modern interior. It was still a lovely place to spend time, however, and I can't believe how cheap some of these are.

@lloydvehicleconsulting Yes, it is an incredible amount of car for the money, especially for the sheer engineering. The later Bentleys with a rev counter in LWB form are nicer than the equivalent Rolls-Royce and seemed better built in my opinion and cheaper for some strange reason. A Bentley Turbo R in Wild Berry Mica, with a beige leather interior with piping and rear picnic tables, is fabulous combined.

What a beautiful Bentley, and another terrific review, sir! As you mentioned, I too just loved the solidity and smoothness of the doors, the bonnet, the boot etc. Maybe a bit over engineered, as you say, but what a car, and what value if you can maintain it.

Yes, engineered to a standard far above most cars of this era, albeit quite old fashioned in feel. I was seriously blessed to have had the chance to drive this.

Oh Sir, the sacrifices that you make exposing yourself to the poverty Spec of the absolute Base Model in the Range. I salute to Sir. Just keep driving. You will always be able to buy some more petrol. The experience must be worth every penny. There are simply not enough adjectives to praise a Bentley.

Wonderful in every detail. If this very car was auctioned whether eBay or otherwise I strongly suspect it would get more than £5000.

Yes, this particular one is worth far more than £5,000. I was pleasantly surprised to find the red one for sale within budget when I looked online the previous night, however, which means that this fits comfortably within the format of the series.

Well, that Bentley looks pretty strange to be honest. Oldschool body and new bumpers, modern seats and dated dashboard. 1980 RR cars are known for their reliability issues, speaking of Lucas electronics components. Did that car have any gremlins?

Cars, as opposed to minibus/vans, are at their best as 4 seaters. There is no luxury quite like a good amount of room.
