This must be the best luxury four door car for less than fourteen grand you can buy.
I've owned this Bentley for nearly four years now and loved every minute. The feeling you get when driving is second to none. The ride with the air suspension is unbelievable you don't feel any road imperfections but at the push of a button it becomes as firm as a sports car. This was the fastest four door car ever produced in fact it still might be. (YouTube James May reviewing flying spur in Dubai.
I have replaced the outdated stereo with a more modern unit at a cost of over two thousand pounds. This is known as the BENHUR upgrade. So now Siri will navigate you to anywhere taking traffic conditions into account it also plays tunes from Spotify or DAB radio or you can watch TV. She has a lovely sunroof and all the usual luxuries like heated massage seats all round, electric everything and the best AC of any car you will sit in.
I have recently spent Six thousand pounds on new air ride bags and mass flow air sensors. It is usual for a car of this age to require those things. Also on pre 2007 models there is a fault on a pipe that runs over the gearbox that needs changing and that requires an engine out to fix, this was altered on later cars such as this! She is in fantastic condition the paint and leather are in great order and she drives like a new car.
If driving with velvet slippers on you can expect 25mpg but if wearing your Nikes maybe around 15!
She is ULEZ compliant.
When I bought this car it had the Mulliner split rim wheels on but these became loose as in the little nuts became loose and the wheels made a cracking noise as you drive along, I tried to get them repaired but it is common knowledge that once they split they can't be repaired so became junk. In fact every refurbished Mulliner split rim wheel is junk. So I bought the current wheels a couple of years ago. I also recently replaced all the discs and pads (2000 miles ago)
I originally brought the car because I have always wanted one and also did some weddings and proms but this has stopped due to insurence increases.
I live near Beccles in Norfolk so feel free to come and have a look.
Oh the boot lid motor is disconnected so requires lifting by hand, it was like this when I got it and I have just got used to it. Not sure how much it is to repair or if it is worth it.
