The Bentley GT? None.

Other than it's not the most attractive car on the outside - I guess you'd have to get used to something 100% reliable. smile

No problems with mine whilst I had it - seemed totally bullet proof and completely luxurious.

Problems with bentley's range from, the lack of front brakes on the earlier cars to issues connecting bluetooth phones to the newer cars, all in all very reliable and fun cars irrespective of which model from the past 90 odd years you go for.

The best advice that I've ever received and given about buying any expensive car is to have it looked over by a specialist before you part with your money, there are a few chancers out there who will happily sell you a bad one . . . . . . . and they get very expensive very quickly smile

That's why I wrote 'The Bentley GT?'

The question mark put there as if to raise a question. I could have written 'are you talking about the Bentley GT?' and in hindsight I wished I had done instead of merely 'The Bentley GT?', thinking, foolishly, that this would suffice.

Oh God, I wish I could spin the clock back.

If I was Japanese, I'd know what to do with myself.

Just love some of the 70s and 80s cars, just wanted some background on best to buy ECT.
I went in to my TVR WEDGE blind and have had to spend a lot to restore it, now fancy some thing more reliable, and that the wife and kids can get in,
