Inside Bentley tonight on CH4

MarkN

Looks like it might be good, assume it’s new and not a repeat. CH4 9pm!

Should be good, they did one on Rolls Royce a few years ago.

Hopefully we might see some nice engine design tech and the obligatory footage of some super skilled 60yo fella in the wood veneer dept talking about the multiple choice of rare wood inserts the owners can have.

Documentary going behind the scenes at the car company's plant in northwest England, as work commences on a new range of 4x4s. This is the first time cameras have had access to the plant, which is currently undergoing millions in new investment. The programme features the local people and master craftsmen working on the factory floor as well as visiting the world's most exclusive car showroom in Mayfair and the secretive department where customers can obtain the latest upgrades to their bespoke vehicle

I've it set to record.

That Charlie fella has a bad dose of syphilis.

Its a sad state of affairs when the only fella to actually mention that the Bentley SUV is abit of an eye sore is that Kahn fella, a man i wouldnt regard as having the finest taste himself.

What struck me was the fact that the cars are produced in greater numbers than I thought on a production line.
There must be huge numbers of wealthy individuals in the world.
You’re well off here if you can afford an s class merc.

To be fair, an s class merc here with spec is probably as expensive as a bentaga in uk

Where was the Bentley dealership that was getting the complete redesign? Wouldn't mind seeing what the finished result was.

Have a search for Jack Barclay Bentley on Google Maps, there's a load of walk through pics inside the showroom (don't forget to click the stairs to the basement)

I saw 2016 on maps alright, but on their their facebook page for GT launch from a few weeks back, it doesn't look anything madly different. Sure there are better photos somewhere.

Just watched it there and well worth watching.

But my God the Bentayga is a hideous looking yoke.
Looks like something that was designed in the early 00's and given a "fresh look" to it with a bit of Halfords multi fit chrome trim, and a set of "Lexus style" headlights straight off eBay.

Reminds me of a London cab, front is badly designed.

Here's a new model London cab...

The program is worth watching. The car is stunning aside from the lights, it's like they were copied from an old E class.





Anyway here is the insane version mockup
