    Jeff,

    That color combination suits this car. Like a gentleman in a Black Tuxedo, would come close, but a Woman in a stunning Black Dress, may be more accurate!

    Ciao...Paolo

    Same car. I can't seem to sell my SL65 so figured whichever one sells first is gone. I like the SL way more than I thought I would so I will be fine with however it ends up. One obviously is way over sticker so I could live with losing it if I have to.

    Oh! Okay. I guess I understand that. I don't really understand ordering a Bentley with custom colors, waiting for it to arrive from overseas, then putting it up for sale. I am not in your position so I cannot presume to question that decision. It is a beatiful car in any case!

    Cheers, Steve

    I agree, something I would not do.. BTW, I'm not in the know with Bentleys, is there a premium on the GTC or is Roy's asking price around what you paid?

    I'd put a 90% chance the Bentley goes first. :(

    The GTC is a great car, but IMO I like the SL65 more due to its hardtop and body style.

    Yes if I had to choose between the two I would keep the SL65.

    I only have one problem with the GTC. How come Volkswagen, Pontiac, Mazda, can make a hard top convertible for less then 30k, but Bentley which costs maybe 7 times as much has a cloth top?

    love it, hopefully I will see you driving around, you dont have a coupe to do you? We got into a little drag race with one once, once they stepped on it though, we were toast

    enjoy it

    Weight maybe?? I mean the GT is about 5500 pds. Talk about needing to go on a diet!! Im sure weight in regards to adding a hard top conv wasnt the main issue, only other solution is they ran over their design budget lol. jk

    I asked them that as well when the Bentley guys were here for the launch and they said a hardtop would hurt the lines of the car and kill their Cont. GT sales. I would think they could just make one model with a hardtop convert but I guess the line thing couldn't get worked out. For a ragtop the top is several layers and on the inside of the car with the top up you cannot tell its a convert. After driving it a few times it really is a special car but like I said the SL65 turned out to be way better than I thought it would.

    These probably both influenced Bentleys choice of not offering a hard top version. I like the GTC regardless though.
