St. Louis - Bentley STL to Open Lamborghini Dealer!

moore jaguar/aston martin, not the biggest one in the world, but they usually have about 3 db9's and if you're lucky, a vanquish. they're located on manchester rd about halfway between 270 and 141.

 

Thanks, I was not aware

 

Lamborghini woot woot

 

OH YEAH, other than Nellys there is a guy in Ladue who has a titanium Murcielago.There will be a new LP-640 to this town also, so keep your eyes / ears open.I have picts of the titanium lambo from a drive we did last year, but dont know how to post them. any help out there?

 

i never knew of that one! what drive was this? here's how to post the pics: if you start posting a reply, and you scroll down when you can start typing your reply, there is a button called manage attachments. that's where you can post the pics at. sorry for the non-concise directions, i'm not the best at this.

 

Ill give it a try, the drive was thru the nsx people,do a search on nsxprime.com in the midwest section,idont think the picts are still up but worth a try.

 

I detail the one in Ladue, it is actually silver, not titanium. ill post some pics of it later tonight

 

you do a good job , one would think he could do it himself,i know he has the time.also i saw a purple Diablo at the house on Lindell and kingshighway,sitting outside with alot of snow on it. the guy put a pool in his garage so the cars are outdoors. maybe you could detail that one.

 

They certainly have a large enough Bentley inventory (not to mention QP) to fill both sides of the current floor and have the other facility as a sports car only showcase.

 

it would be nice to see bentley stl become as large and as unique as dealerships such as bentley gold coast in chicago and symbolic motorcars, where they have an inventory that would make anyone stop and stare. i've been dealing with randy allen up there, he's a real class act, and is always welcoming whenever i show up, even if it is just to look. here's a good question: when they open the lambo dealership up, would any of you (that have the means, which leaves me out) consider getting a lambo?

 

I'll bet their insurance is through the roof! I've seen that valley flood so many times! If this spring is a wet one, they can call me to help drive the cars to safety! LOL

I never thought that valley, being a flood plain would develop the way it has. Out with the ballparks and prisons and in with the exotic car dealers and shopping centers!

 

wow. just-wow. 2 possible franchises: i'm going to venture to guess ferrari is on that very short list, and if i were to think of another, i would begin to think rolls royce. but 250 local ferraris! wow!

 

I wouldn't be surprised if these two are Rolls and Spyker. These marques are often sold together with Bentley. Another logical possibility is buying out Moore Aston, but Bugatti is too close in Chicago, and I can't see Ferrari selling next to their archnemesis.
Whatever it is it looks like they are further cornering the STL exotic market, exciting times for sure!

 

spyker would be awesome, but i don't know if it would fare well in this market. there is one in downers grove illinois and atlanta is possibly the closest dealership heading (somewhat) west of here. i cant believe that they sell very many cars, let alone get very many orders in. they don't really have the name recognition like ferrari or lambo. however, i would love to see it do great.

 

as much as i would love to see it, i really don't think st. louis is the right market area for super-rare exotics, like spyker or koenigsegg. i would love for them to pick up those 2 dealerships, whatever they may be, and to try to up their pre-owned inventory, maybe see some of those spykers. who knows, maybe even a mclaren f1 may find its way into their inventory.

 

could also be buying the Lotus store, very common with Lambo

 

another dealership they may get is maybach, but i could have sworn that they only went to mercedes dealerships. that lotus dealership is a good possibility, and i would imagine and hope that they move it up to the valley. isn't one of bentley's mechanics on this forum?

 

do you know the owner of the silver one I am talkign about? and the purple diablo on lindal is a replica, and a rather bad one at that if you have seen it up close

very nice to seee more car nuts in STL,glad im not alone.I currently looking for a Superformance cobra,after the auction last weekend inAZ looks to be a good deal.TIM

 

This cars owner must live very very close to me because i see it on Litzinger Road all the time!! I can hear it coming towards me before i ever see it.

man, i'm on litzinger all the time, and around that area a lot, but i've never seen him! does he have any other "interesting" cars in his garage chris?

 

I wans't with him when he wa sup there with the NSX guys. You may have talked with my buddy Jon Benner who works up there and helped him get it all set up.

the murci is the only real toy in the garage, but what a toy it is. he is in the area of litzinger, you may see it prowling lindbergh or manchester as well
