I bought this 1957 Bentley at an auction two years ago with the intention to restore it but present plans have changed. I have restored many antique vehicles as a hobby in the past and this beauty offered a lot of potential. I purchased this car in Pensylvania with a salvage title as "PA salvage abandoned vehicle, not damaged nor stolen". It had been last registered in 1985 and was found abandoned two years ago inside a roofed repair shop that officiallyclosed its doors back in 1986. The vehicle is presently registered in Florida with a clear title.
The car is a RIGHT hand drive. I have driven this vehicle on weekends about 300 miles in total since I bought it. The car is old but is 100% complete, Nothing is missing. The engine starts easily and runs great, Odometer reads 36,000 miles and seems possible according to the excellent compression it has in all cylinders, automatic transmission shifts nicely and smooth. Electrical system is all good and working fine except for the dash temperature gauge and some few missing light bulbs or in need of replacement. Battery is new and generator charges it without any issue. Suspension feels ok, all glass is fine, all manual windows and locks work fine, tires are ok but old, grill is rusted and needs rechroming, body is straight but there are a few minor dents and some superficial rust, overall paint is old and discolored and peeling on the roof (see picture), leather seats upholstery needs replacement (front seats leather is torn and back seats leather is old and brittle) and are now covered with new black cloth seat covers, front floor rug is discolered and need replacement, all wood is there and in good condition but needs refinishing, the undercarriage has some superficial rust and there is one specifically area badly rusted under the battery in the trunk by old battery leaking acid and destroying about one foot of the frame (see pictures). rest of frame and trunk and floor panels are ok. Car is not drivable now only because both Brake cylinders need to be refitted, a power steering small hose is leaking, and both carburators have small leaks on them due to old joints. This car was most probably last tuned 30 years ago, engine and transmission oil has been changed since I bought it. The last picture was in a small plastic bag under the rear seat and shows and illustrates what the car looked like and can look like again with good TLC.

Bentley teases new Flying Spur sedan
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Bentley has released another teaser video for its redesigned Flying Spur, and the next generation car is looking less like a grown up Continental GT and more like a junior Mulsanne. A viewing of the first teaser vid revealed a more upright grille, a three-spoke steering wheel, horizontal taillights and quarter panels with angles and curves certifiably lifted from the Mulsanne. After this second video, we can add lower door panels with a more aggressive shape, horizontal vents in the fenders and a rear end with the shape of proper haunches.
The English motorcar maker promises us we'll see more on February 20, when "performance and luxury unite." We'll be there in person when the "Camry for rich people" is revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month. You'll find the videographic appetizer below.
2016 Bentley Bentayga in the buff [w/video]
Tue, Sep 15 2015Look, before you rush to the comments and start ranting about how ugly the Bentley Bentayga is, let's talk about how bad it could have been. Remember the EXP 9 F concept from Geneva a few years ago? You know, the one with the, as associate editor Jonathon Ramsey says, "cat anus headlights." Yeah. The production car doesn't look half bad now, does it? No matter, the Bentayga will probably be Bentley's best-selling model when it launches. And there's a lot to like, too – endless swaths of fine leather, super-luxurious seating for four or five, and a 600-horsepower, 12-cylinder engine. Plus, Bentley actually engineered the Bentayga to go off road, with various traction management modes to handle the rough stuff. Following the initial launch, Bentley will offer diesel, hybrid, and Speed versions of the Bentayga, as well as a seven-passenger version. We're also willing to bet the brand's 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 will find its way under the hood at some point, too.
