There is a company that upgrades the centre console and infotainment system. It's not cheap and does have downsides with loss of some the existing functions. Still, it's an option - not one I've plumpt for, as I prefer to keep everything stock. Yes, it will put some people off buying it in the future. Hey ho. Great video, Matt. Thanks for sharing.

School holidays and weekends working in a garage, that my dad had contacts with. Apprenticeship and a life with motors. Semi retired now. I have had a TR7 for years now and a few odd ball vehicles. 6 in total. Last purchase was a Jaguar XF SV8. The Jag is a great drive. Next year i may well consider the Bentley.

Great video Matt. When they brought out this model they did a press launch at the Monteblanco race track, just to the west of Seville, and I got driven round the circuit by one of their drivers. A fantastic experience even though I was't actually driving it. My understanding is that the weight reduction is due to an all aluminium body. If only I could afford one!

Many times,fuel consumption is stated as the critical factor when buying a car .So you buy a boring eurobox which does 0-60 in 10 seconds,does 35 mpg(hurrah) but depreciates by 30 percent in the first year.You would really be 'better off' by buying an older prestige car and let the previous owners absorb the depreciation.Just make sure you budget for expensive tires and servicing (my last main service and full check on my 6 year old XJL was £145 at an independent and tires are around £180 each).Just to put the icing on the cake its 3 litre v6 turbo diesel does around 36 mpg.Point made!!

I proudly used to say the my old Leon mark 3 had the same steering wheel controls as the Bentley continental. Sadly now they've replaced the wheel so I can't, and the ones on my mark 7.5 golf are different so now I definitely can't.

[@EnglishCad]

had one and it's everything mentioned and more. I used mine when I worked in Europe buying and selling horses. 25mpg on their good well maintained roads. I didn't' meet anyone that didn't like it. Other than french traffic police (their fines don't count right😬). Plus people knew you weren't there to waste their time when out buying. Down side, parts cost. Example rear lights, they only last 10 years. They are modular, no bulbs other than indicator and cost 2.5 K +vat each. You can get 2nd hand, but the modules will go at some point. Electrics are also suspect now as they are getting on a bit. Battery drain is a problem if not used every day. You can buy a replacement updated infotainment around about 3 K fitted, but it looks cheap and tacky all flashy lights and cheap looking plastic. I am definitely going to get another supersports. Unfortunately not yet as I am saving for a better house in the country right now and they are 'quite' expensive to buy outright.🙄
