Yup! You got it.
I can't post the full pic until I get home from work later today. I'm doing this from my iPhone.

Dam, I should have thought of that, I remember seeing one recently and thinking they were way too small to be a real Bentley. Another British car gone down the Pan, who owns them nowadays?

This one belongs to one of my customers. It is his daily driver. I wish!
Have a look at the specs on that car - pretty impressive!

They're owned by VW, who outbid BMW for Rolls-Royce (motors) and were very pigged off to find that they had neglected to check first who actually owned the RR name, which still belonged to Vickers (the aero engine makers) and wasn't included in the sale. BMW stepped in and got the rights to use the name for a tiny fraction of the cost, leaving a fuming VW owning, effectively, Bentley and BMW making Rollers out of BMWs.

I don't know about gone down the pan. They are seriously fast GT cars, which is what Bentley is all about, great comfort with awesome performance to whisk you down to the South of France. Even the bigger Continental Flying Spur four door saloon doesn't hang about, get the 600bhp version and it will still crack 200mph and is the world's fastest production saloon. That is exactly what Bentley are all about.

Granted, road and wind noise are a bit much for a Bentley (but still low for normal cars) but the speed, acceleration and handling are better than previous Bentleys.

If you want to talk "down the Pan" though, I think that sums up the BMW rollers, they seem to have gone down the pimpmobile route with the styling of some models and they are most definitely no longer the best car in the world.

I like the big fast saloons, they're what Bentley means to me.
