I know that I want a Bentley, but I know it's not something to go into lightly at this level.

Autotrader reveals, I can choose between the following, as old as 1980 and as young as 2013. Mileages vary too, between 15,000 to 150,000.

Arnage
Brooklands
Continentail
Eight
Flying Spur
Mulsanne
R-Type
Turbo R

So quite a lot of choice and there are loads of pros ans cons. But which car is likely to make me regret taking the plunge the least in terms of "problems" and costs?

Frankly, I'd be delighted to own any of them for different reasons. I think what I want to do is narrow it down to the cars that will probably run the best and not sour the experience. Perhaps a lottery, but any help from owners and PH would be great.

Thanks!

Maybe speak to Hanwells? That's where I would go first if I was in the market for such a car...
have seen and read a fair amount of negative stuff about Hanwell and their warranty, but probably best to work it out for myself.
