We Bought A CHEAP Bentley Continental Flying Spur! Bargain W12 Luxury - What Could Go Wrong?

The Bentley Continental was a flagship model for the British luxury car maker, and today they're temptingly cheap, especially in four-door Flying Spur guise - should you buy one? We took the plunge, in partnership with parts specialist, Introcar to find out if they're the big risk you think...

Does everyone get the music playing in the background. Not required😊

[@oKima81]

too bad.

[@nazz0007]

Makes the presenter look dynamic/interesting

[@serenityinside1]

@@nazz0007 steady ...good imagination

[@brianiswrong]

I have subscribed, but please keep the back ground music for non verbal montage shots, you don't need your voice to compete with the " elevator music".👍

[@crimsonpirate1710]

Agreed

[@Lot76CARS]

Great to see another channel and a brave first choice of project…but like others have said PLEASE lose the music which can quickly become a tad irritating.

[@Liveyourlifewithafatcigar]

That smile when you were behind the steering wheel said it all! Enjoy!

[@user-vw3yi9kh2b]

Your presentation was amazing and more than adequate, the music just needs loosing chaps, like the professionals do.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

A very bold choice of car! An enjoyable video but you have a lot of frame flashes going on where the cut hasn't been timed right, might want to look into that :)

[@PrestigeAndPerformanceCar]

Noted!

[@andrewlorenz3139]

Good luck with your channel. Background music in my opinion is not needed.

[@t5jerry]

So at the end of the Bentley inspection i was expecting to see... 1. How much did they charge ? 2. How much were the parts ? 3.the quote price for repairs ? 4.and why on earth when he pointed out to you the exhaust clamp needs replacing, didnt you ask him to do it there and then ??????

[@XXKXXKXX]

The cleverest presenting style I ever remember seeing - so much fun yet so many facts both packed into each paragraph! 👍 🙏 🚗

[@PrestigeAndPerformanceCar]

Thanks very much! -Paul

[@user-hb8lx7sw1d]

nice care! love the older flying spur!!

[@trust_plumbing]

Thanks for the great video! Id have to disagree with your analysis of the gearbox, or at least i thought id have to try to convince you otherwise until i saw that big cheesy grin when you started enjoying the sedate driving characteristics. I rarely ever feel the need to power about because cruising is so nice in these. When you need the power its there by the ton but mostly they just feel fantastic to drive. I do love the downshift characteristics of the zf box, the engine braking is very reassuring. Hope the inspection goes well but i think you're probably going to find out that Spur doesnt necessarily mean better maintained, especially on a business car...

[@DavidJenkins81999]

For pities sake don’t put music on this.

[@davidcooks5265]

It looks very nice 😀

[@Bod8998]

Why am I only seeing this channel now

[@johnpro2847]

you are very brave..

[@paulpalmtree9295]

I have to assume that this particular Bentley was bought site unseen, and obviously without prior inspection. Very risky.

[@DM-hp7ct]

Great review. Lose the music.

[@ftostation]

Just get Bluetooth fm transmitter for music that what I do in my flying spur

[@colinhoward74]

The boot lid motor has failed , the gears are also failed to pull the boot lid into place , you can not get them anywhere in the world new , get hold of Car Wizzard of Omega Motors in USA , there is a crowd in USA who remanufacture the motors , incidently , the company that built those motors went bust in 2013 , later cars use a different motor and they fail too with no real back up , current 2020 model to current use a different motor again .

[@ricklawrence3466]

I agree,the music is a distraction.Why do peaple do it ?

[@M123OCT]

Car 👍 Commentary, 👍 Music 🤕

[@londonman8688]

i am a big fan of 4 door bentleys

[@user-nu4ig7dp4c]

great car , Ive got a 2005 , cheaper road tax , ULEZ except , 42,000 miles ,full Bentley history get good mileage by driving steady 65ish on the motorway , let the clowns get to the circus first , big car to wash and wax , spent £2000 to mend a sagging headlining and high brake light issue , so not cheap vehicle to look after ; but dont see to many , so keeps them special .

[@nazz0007]

Im 4.5 minutes in, any idea of price? Put everyone out their misery at the start 😅

[@cactusthomas914]

Or an S Class......

[@t5jerry]

Channels ok, but that BLOODY background music .....😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@wholeNwon]

Poor fellow: Like so many others before, you have been seduced. Much like congress with the tropical port lady of the evening, the pain begins a week or so later.

[@garethhanna9173]

Shame it's so ugly and vulgar, the last good looking car Bentley built was the Arnage.

[@alancrisp1582]

🤔👍 Yes, and it's Sister - Brother model the Silver Seraph 1998 - 2002. RIP British designed and built Bentley and Rolls_Royce !!..

[@henrikbragge]

Annoying music - good content. Skip the music!

[@waltersickinger1499]

Cheap Bentley is an oxymoron...cheap to buy...expensive to own/maintain.
