Issue with the Bentley

[Malc1]

I’ve thought for many years  to buy a Bentley ….. the older models look more my style …… my bank account would never cope with the maintenance drain and my nerves neither …… I’d be a wreck worrying about it ……. a Lexus is easy peasy by comparison AND all one could wish for in  comfort, reliability whatever 

Indeed Prince Rainier had a magnificent bespoke Lexus I believe…… wonder what happened to  that car  …… still in his garages maybe 🤔

Maybe it’s a family tradition.  Like this one - handed over to his son, Prince Albert, on 13 March 2018, apparently?

Well there is a Royal Motor Museum in Monaco, so perhaps it’s there?

Unless he’s px’d it because of the increased insurance rate!

Yes Malc,

Owning a Lexus and going to Bentley is not a good move.

Just when you think you have the car perfect, something goes wrong and it's then a headache getting the part and then time for the garage, each bill is minimum of £500plus.

The only good bit is the interior which you can admire just sitting and not driving the car!!

Yes I remember he had the Lexus Landaulette special car ….. there’s a post here somewhere about that I believe  🤔
