    Nice motor Chaa but I think I would have hung on for a DB9 although that is only a 2 seater.

    Is there much room in the back of the Bentley?

    Sorry not much good at IT so cant help with the pictures but hopefully someone else can.

    I heard Bentley had loaned about 12 GT's to various people (Posh being one) for PR purposes

    Alot of the cars are not in this country but at there Villas, but anyway. The car does have very good room in the rear, better so than CLKs. Tony has my pic now so will post them on main forum. The thing is with my boss he likes to be the first and no doubt he will have the DB9 aswell. Pics going to be on main forum.

    Badapple it could be that the ones you saw might have been the loaned ones i dont know. The Boss bought this one last week so its his. If there are more than 12 in the UK he may be p*ssd,so i wont tell him, and if any one does tell him and upset him..........sh*t ill have to deal with it for him. LOL!!

    Chaa,

    Thanks for your Views on the Bentley GT, I think you would find a few more than three GTs in the UK.

    www.williamloughran.co.uk has a few under the Bentley section of his site. ;)

    There are quite a few more at international dealers across Europe.

    Looking forward to the pics!

    Hi Phil

    Unfortunately only been out in it twice due to the weather. Had a blast to Newport and back and it is bloody quick. Need to put some proper miles on it though to really get the picture.

    If the weather was nice I could have had it all day on Saturday as the folks were away but sods law it pi$$ed down most of the day.

    I will try and put some pickkies up soon but is virtually identical to Dans, except its the auto.
