Is there a reason for new cars not to appear on Cartell or motorcheck?

JackHeuston

Hi, I've seen a Bentley and was curious to see exactly what model it was, so I've run the reg number on Cartell and... no results. The same happens on the NCT site.

The car didn't have an insurance disc, or the tax disc for what it matters... Reg is 201 D 27981. How's it possible it's not coming up on any website at all?

Thanks!!

Think they don’t come up til they’re taxed, but you’d imagine a 201 would be.

I'd say it's a recent import and as colm said, it hasn't been taxed yet. Give it a few days and it'll probably show up.

Cool, I thought it was a bit shady but sure parking on double yellow lines gives you that impression! After comparing it with some pics it was a 2020 Flying Spur https://imgur.com/7WnxX52 I hate being poor.

On motortax.ie in the Change Of Vehicle Ownership page it's showing as a Bentley Continental.

Would government cars always show up on cartell?

The Continental is a two door. The OP's pic is of a four door so it's most likely a Flying Spur*.

I wonder is it bought with drug money

Yeah it's a Flying Spur, I've compared pics of the back and also the interior was exactly like this: http://autosportmotor.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/2020-bentley-flying-spur-how-ben.jpg that geometric work on the inside of the door really caught my eye.

It was parked right in front of Marco Pierre White in Donnybrook. Haven't seen many people in the outside dining area so it could be the owner's.

Wow 3.8 seconds 0-100km/h is unreal in a car that size.

It's up on Cartell now. It's a UK import alright.
