Oh my God could you have picked a group of more stereotypical Hipsters?

[@Munkenba]

Charles Morgan should have his own tv programme, the production of these films is that good. Or just carry on asking him back as many times as he's free, the internet lacks content that's this good.

[@Menda_Lerenda]

Why do you go to ask a guy that looks like a clown about a classic car? if it was a austin princess...

[@ianirvin8561]

Joselo Aero because he's not supposed to like the car but he did. Just shows that the bentley is beautiful and can be appreciated by most people even eyeliner wearing millenials.

[@lomate1963]

Love that girl with the moustache she reminds me of my mother 😊

[@JakeobE]

If you are a man who wears eyeliner, you don't get to talk about beauty.

[@shanehnorman]

That's David Bowie, Keith Richards, and many other aesthetes well fucked, then!

[@carolyngoebel-games8633]

douche

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

This tailor looks incredibly gay

[@Rentta]

Most of tailors are gay

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

+Rentta Yeah Most male hair dressers are gay, but tailors? I want my tailor to be classic and talented, I don't really care if he likes women, men or trees

[@RoelfvanderMerwe]

Jeezuz..... Who is that guy in the blue suit? Omg!!

[@chrsweden]

Why smear a beautiful classic with some kind of freak show?? Mr Morgan usually does better than this.

[@viriatvsoflvsitania5422]

I'm a big fan of Mr. Morgan's reviews, but I wasn't able to watch the whole video. Those ultra - hipster - fashionistas - douchebags... ufff, what an eye sore. It's THIS what you've got to represent today's young generation?? Okay... Dear gents at Carfection, the only 2 things you need for this segment are: - A car - Mr. Morgan That's it.

[@chrisfi3d]

Actually Pedro, those people are the minority of current day younger generation who see the value and standing of a bygone era. Missed the point I'm afraid.

[@RetroGamerVX]

I'm sorry, how can you possibly find out if it's cool by asking somebody who looks such an absolute pratt? lol

[@tdolan500]

Because you don't ask your plumber for his option on trends and modern style.

[@RetroGamerVX]

+Terry Dolan but you at least ask somebody who doesnt dress like an idiot, so has a valid oppinion

[@JoJoJoker]

Referring to the guy whose family started Morgan Motorcars and is wearing a $1,000+ suit?

[@JoJoJoker]

Ahh never mind. See what ya meant hah. Then again look at how people dressed in the 1960s.

[@traxnada]

1000? You're missing a 0 there my friend lol

[@aftastosk6016]

I wonder why mr Morgan had to ridicule himself with these clowns.

[@wholeNwon]

Asking freaks to assess the style of a Bentley? Obscene.

[@looking_33]

Wtf is with that guy with the blue suit!?,?

[@JonasRosenven]

He made me think of what the other guy said about "trying too hard to stand out".

[@CockatooDude]

He's a fashion designer, what'd you expect.

[@ivanmico1]

f*cking hipster

[@Oldbmwr100rs]

At first i thought it was a Cap'n Jack Sparrow impersonator, one of the ones who poses for tourists, who had just changed clothes! Or just some drugged out whack job guy in the street..

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

He tried too hard and tripped and fell into a window at Carnaby Street and this is what stuck to him...

[@DocWolph]

Joshua Kane... He looks like a caricature of a 1960s idea of a 1880s fop.

[@WhipRunner]

Downvoted for the hoodlums that were brought in. I'm talking about chief yobo who wears mascara/ eyeliner /eye-thing with silly hair on his mouth. The car, too irritated to say anything about it.

[@Amajor34]

The "fashionista" in the blue suit almost made me vomit.

[@mancunianlee]

Another brilliant video. It's a stunning car, you see it and know the driver is a classy bastard.

[@shanehnorman]

No left-foot braking, Charles? It's a huge aid to smoother, safer, automatic progress.

[@johntechwriter]

It’s a great way to wear out your brake pads prematurely.

[@SuperRogier]

Why would you ask irrelevant people their opinion about something they don't know anything about? It has been said numerous times in the comments, but I watch this channel for facts and nice stories about cars I don't or barely know. Please stick to real content, I'm not interested in 'vloggers' or whatever.

[@jdd3993]

As always, Charles Morgan delivers the passion and respect for motoring... I loved this segment!

[@rare6499]

I love Mr Morgan. This is a beautiful car, pure class. This has so much more class and charisma over any current Bentley they aren't even comparable.

[@benjonesthe3rd200]

3:23 it's the millennial Boy George

[@bmull81]

Truly beautiful car, and expertly presented, thank you! As a teenage lad, mad keen on cars, I accompnied my mother to one of her chums parties. Our hostess had a new friend, who was "Something to do with cars", which interested me.... It was probably around 1963/4, since mum was driving the shiny new family car, a very, very early Lotus Cortina. I was swiftly introduced to 'Wim' who was a charming bloke, very knowledgeable indeed. He was asking what I thought of RR/Bentley models in comparison with similar class cars, and I went into full teen-nerd obsessive detail. To sum up, I told Vilhelm Koren that the only two cars in this class worth discussing were the S2 Continental Park Ward and the S3 which I had seen for the first time that month. I was about to elaborate that I was unsure whether I preferred the single headlight or dual headlight treatment when he told me his role in their design. Did I mis-hear his name that day? I've been sure until this week that he was called "Wim", perhaps a nickname? But he was a proper gent, very tolerant of a voluble kid who was determined to become an automotive engineer, and eventually did!

[@aarvin1]

I love this guy's review. So fuckin classy!

[@anastassiosperakis2869]

CLASSY????? This atrocity would not know classy if it bit it in its ugly ass!

[@bentleynut1648]

I owned a convertible version of this design, but it was the Rolls Royce version. It was my favorite classic car. Wow, that design is so unique and so 1960’s. Great review and a superb car

[@Narc89283]

Less hipsters please.

[@minibus1351]

its all fun and games until it....

[@nikb6528]

... drives around people like Joshua.

[@v_alexiadis]

Joshua mate, I understand eccentricity but come on that's too much. As with everything in life we must know where to stop. Nice video!

[@olim6608]

he's not eccentric, he's just desperately trying to be

[@numbereightyseven]

@@olim6608 possibly both

[@lonersanonymous]

Should have given Harriet a ride. She was alright.

[@tomtalk24]

But thick as two planks. "the way its very clean BUT the lines are very light". I reckon sugar daddy Morgan did anyway ;)

[@felixarbable]

As much as i see that these later bentlys had their iconic moments the only real bentlys that interest me are the pre-war W.O Bentlys. Really I think his true spirit lived on in the lagondas he engineered after the war. under RR ownership Bently became something totally different, no more brilliant engines land speed records or Indy 500 wins. Overall even if really i think Ettoire Bugatti the more interesting man and engineer overall W.O Bently must be considered one of the greats.

[@brighton_dude]

I thought this was an excellent video and talking to the guys in Shoreditch was a great idea. I have seen some negative comments about this, but I think it was the right thing to do with this particular car.

[@marcangelozayco8216]

Fabulous Car. Alan Whicker had one.

[@stephen9869]

Please review a Bristol Blenheim someday!

[@travisolson9190]

Thank you so much for making this series, the S3 has been a true love for me, there is a convertible one near me I see often driving around late at night. So fitting.

[@XoVoX]

love the other videos which Charles Morgan has made, but this one was lackluster. This being said, the car was still a beautiful pick.

[@billdexhart5179]

I am ashamed these guys had to represent my generation! On the car, I really like classic cars and I really like this. However, I don't think it is good looking. Taste, really. Pure elegance is really something we don't find anymore in car design. It's usually just aggressive styling or show off-y.

[@lifeofjoyandcreation]

I see what you mean there. They don`t even look and seem like men, totally not.

[@cls63amgwagon34]

Yeah I def don't think this is good looking, a cool piece, of course, but objectively something off about it

[@JonasRosenven]

At first I thought the designer was a girl wearing a fake moustache. I mean that as a compliment as I'm convinced that was the look he was going for. The car is so understated and gorgeous - a lot of car designers could learn from that.

[@markm0000]

When you say a car is "pure elegance" it better look like a 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic.

[@billdexhart5179]

Mark M I am not picking out this specific model, rather classic cars in general have something modern day creations lack.

[@ambergris5705]

I found that the video took a bit of time to find its rhythm, but when he began to drive alone in London... The whole world changed

[@GhALi-]

احب السيارات الاكلاسكيه

[@loveisall5520]

I saw my first one of these in an auto dealership in Houston, Texas in 1966. I was a boy in junior high. This car with its interesting front end stood out among the other cars sold there including a Mark 10 jaguar, and bunches of triumph and MG Sports cars I still prefer the original single headlight front end, but this is also so beautiful. Thank you so much!

[@fphedman]

i did not know skrillex had a brother...

[@faitho]

Charles Morgan FTW

[@gerardg1950]

This voice reminds me of James Mason

[@ultrabeing1]

"There's this wonderful glass area" a windscreen?

[@richardharrold9736]

He's referring to the large area of glass throughout the car, not just the windscreen, in stark contrast to modern cars, which feel like luxuriously-furnished WW2 pillboxes by comparison...

[@glorious_help]

DEFINITELY KNOWS HOW TO WEAR A SUIT. COOL GUY!

[@Seadweller451D]

The SIII Continental was not the last “coachbuilt’ Bentley!!! What about the James Young TI’s & later Continental’s & Azure models by HJ Mulliner-Park ward???

[@neurodiverse4414]

Ya ya ya!...gin and tonic, Marvelous, ya ya, expensive watch, ya ya, wonderful ya ya ya ya. Expensive coke, ya ya.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

What a change this styling was for Bentley back in the day! I found it to be shocking. Now, the style has held up very well, except for the sort of disconnect between the roundness of the front and the slab-sided, drawn out rear quarters. The tail light section lacks all grace...but THAT front and THAT interior and all the window glass.

[@sghotouk]

classic cars have souls, you can see that the designers made something they love, now they have "rules" or else they can't release their cars, some cars are forms of art to be honest

[@klaushaunstrupchristensen7252]

Truly a beautiful car of a bygone area. Modern luxury cars are blatant disasters. Modern luxury cars are so wide, with big rear view mirrors poking out left and right, making it difficult to drive on all roads except highways. Modern luxury cars celebrates vulgarisms and distances their drivers from the presumed proletarian mob outside by, using small windows, thick pillars and dark tainted windows. This car is like a classic old beautiful Patek Philippe Calatrava 33 millimeter compared to a modern Rolex Submariner 43 millimeter. Not all progress is truly progress. We have come a long way since the sixties, and mostly for the better, but definitely not in all aspects.

[@uhugvjkbkjh]

Joshua Kane has his tailors shop in that market, so I guess choosing spitalfields for the shoot made it relevant to choose a local trendy tailor. Just sayin

[@georgealderson4424]

I note that the registration plate is "A" ie 1963 but the car is called 53. Have I misunderstood ? Oh it is not 53 it is S3 ...and my optician iz retiring soon. I am doomed to the challenges of old age already!

[@TheCruizer]

Really like the series with Charles Morgan. 👍

[@klaushaunstrupchristensen7252]

A car of elegance. Discrete luxury devoid of vulgarity. I wish this type of car will come back not only in the luxury segment but in lower priced cars as well. We are facing the introduction of a new breed of noise and vibration free electric cars. This will be a golden opportunity to bring us cars which floats forward in serene comfort and isolation rather than racing down the Nurburgring!

[@StephenButlerOne]

Lol, "trouble with cars today is they are trying to sand out", thst is exactly what this car was back then. And the girl trying to pretend she could see Sweden in it. You could of said any country and she would of tried to wing it. I won't mention the posh Marilyn Manson.

[@robinbaker464]

Oooh - That's STYLE. Only thing that spoils it for me is the silly 'Chinese' headlights. SWOOSH!

[@BestCarSound]

Mesmerising front, rear and inside, but remove those fugly headlights, please. Great episode, just too short!

[@0YouCanCallMeAl0]

I'll put it short: more of this guy please.

[@benvg]

When the 60's rock came on I scrunched my face and complained. Magnificent car though.

[@anastassiosperakis2869]

Not a fan of either the headlights or the taillight casing. Both belong to much cheaper models. NOT fit for any Bentley.

[@ryan291211]

Lol, that guy in the blue suit. Wtf?

[@Sonnymonster]

The (Very un PC) ‘Chinese Eye’ headlamps are a Marmite thing🤔 I love Marmite❤️

[@MosesKaldor]

I was going to write a smart arse comment about that rattle when he went over a bump. I then realised it was probably the camera mounting. Gorgeous car.

[@Visionery1]

If Joshua Kane goes out in public with those glasses and eyeliner, then I guess I don't really have to worry about my skinny legs.

[@carforumwanker]

2022 Kane lost just about everything !! silly clothes for silly people .

[@mikeheard4859]

The design more suitable for the Bentley bonnet was the most elegant car ever to leave the Park Ward factory, the best looking Bentley by far .

[@reyrob]

We need more videos of classic cars of the 50's and 60's Thanks for posting

[@womersleydanny1178]

love continental i have a 1961 . rolls royce silver cloud 2. not like the clown in the blue suit. i repare the cloud my self,

[@sinimini]

What a beaut. Another fantastic video from Charles Morgan.

[@nlpnt]

Was it meant to use 1957 Chrysler taillights but they had to switch to generic round trailer lights at the last minute?

[@kzbzdau]

Another great review. One of my favourite presenters and very informative.

[@tomchile]

And on that bombshell. Great Charles Morgan! please review a Landrover Defender

[@ZWNTAS]

Without its ugly chinese eyes and its outdated tailfins, the car's design would be timeless

[@ashmercury8247]

consider doing the singer porsche

[@JustinJaiC.]

They've done it already.

[@neilperry2224]

But Keith Richards had the 4 door saloon version and lost a gf to Mick Jagger.

[@Theoneandonlybay2345]

If the Chinese guy from Veichle Virgins was ever a car, he would be this one!

[@1001942]

i do prefer the s3 continental flying spur .......................

Im surprised someone hasnt put '59 Caddie taillight lens on it.

Maybe they should put the year of the car in the subject line?

lovely bit of kit

[@jameslynch7826]

Now it’s associated with Shoreditch l don’t want one!

[@jeffreydaniels7519]

A thing of beauty!

[@anastassiosperakis2869]

Only a blind person would think so. Or one with no taste.

[@voicetube]

Now THAT'S luxury! I think I've only seen 2 in my life - both in Los Angeles. One of them was definitely an iconic experience: this must been either in the late 70s or early 80s & I was riding on my little motorcycle I think possibly going up Wilton Avenue (or somewhere in Hollywood close to Wilton) and we were traveling north, probably not far from Beverly Boulevard. We got to a stoplight and when I looked to my left and saw, driving one of these cars, the late great game show host, Jack Barry! I remember he was wearing these classes down on his nose (maybe he was reading a newspaper at stop lights?) and I seem to recall waving at him a little, to which he gave me a little nod and maybe a small wave, but I got the idea that he got lots of attention all the time (he was quite famous nationally). He either had the Rolls-Royce or the Bentley edition - I'm leaning toward thinking it was the Rolls-Royce. But there was NO mistaking those slanted headlights - I always think of that as the "Jack Barry car."

[@samsungnvA51]

Which year model is this? Thanks

[@Blacknight1812]

a real classy car, a must have for any garage.

[@samanthanoble5555]

Apartment radical proud ghost per.

[@niptodstan]

I can't believe people dislike this car. But I suppose those people think a star is someone on a stage playing with a record player.

[@anastassiosperakis2869]

You SHOULD. It is ATrocious. The silly headlights and taillights would look bad even in a damned CHEVY, let alone a BENTLEY. Grow some good taste!

[@MrGoldenwaffler]

wtf's up with the d bags?? omg

[@Pacmann123]

This video put me off Bentleys!

[@shanehnorman]

One silly error: Keith Richards' Continental, known as 'Blue Lena', was an S2, not an S3, as can clearly be seen in the photo of it. And, while he did go to the South of France in it, it was on the return journey that Anita Pallenberg, having dumped Brian Jones, accompanied him and the two fell in love.

[@JonnyJayJonson]

Undoubtedly a stunning car but surely the H J Mulliner Continental (the one Keith Richards had) was even more beautiful than this Park Ward example.
