New Daily needed Range Rover sport v 1996 Bentley Brooklands

[rollerderby]

So I do 15k motorway miles and need a new daily. Torn between a RR sport or BMW X5 and a Bentley Brooklands with LPG that has been offered to me. I have 25k and struggle to put that money into a modern 4x4 but is a Brooklands a crazy choice?

Daily driving any 90's Bentley would be a bit crazy, though I suppose the LPG conversion will help with fuel costs.

A Brooklands would certainly turn more heads than a Range Rover or an X5, I don't know how much they cost to keep on the road but my Turbo R of the same vintage is costing me a fair amount. Not enough that I've fallen out of love with it though I'm hoping as I catch up on some delayed maintenance the costs will drop off a little. There's really something special with these cars, they're wonderful examples of hand built craftsmanship and nothing else really comes close.

I would take the X5 for a daily. Yes its boring but everytime you start the Bentley you will be crossing your fingers no lights turn on in the dash and every time you reach your destination without issue you will be thanking it.

Plus driving it every day would take away the special feeling of having it.

Daily driving a 25 year old Bentley? Maybe once a week mate.
