You're joking. A nigh-on 20 year old Bentley is exactly pub landlord territory.

Tim Martin perhaps, not many landlords tooling about in 50k motors.

My Mrs is the daughter of a publican and the money sloshing around is extraordinary. 50k cars are the cheaper end of the market among them all. New X5s as cash and carry delivery vehicles, flash number plates, shooting, antiques, holidays etc... an old Bentley would fit right in.

Sounds like they have other revenues.

No, but they are independants, with accommodation in the pubs etc. But all based around pubs and hospitality. All legit, in the 30-odd years I've known them I have no reason to think otherwise.

I imagine there is little middle ground with pubs

Either doing well or badly

The days of publicans swanning around with quarter of a million pounds worth of cars and the like, funded by a pub or two are in the distant past.

Are they pub proprietors or a property development business?
