    Thanks for your efforts. As a 46 year Proper motor car owner ( 7 RRS & 6 Bentleys) Bentley is for the man who doesn't need to prove anything or the man who won the war but doesn't have to wear the Medals. I have both a 1958 Silver Cloud & a 1989 Bentley Turbo RL. Both great cars but the Turbo performance of the Bentley & firmer suspension & better handling compared to a Silver Spur have a lot more appeal to me.

      See for me the Bentley isn’t as special and is a more firmer ride than the rolls Royce. The turbo Rl is a lovely car but Rolls-Royce is more special

      Everyone has their opinions, a car is for whoever drives it, Bentleys are the poorer brother in my opinion, that chickenwire grille is just ugly.

      The wirework grille was on a few extra sporting models. Most have the bars, a rounded version of the Rolls-Royce front. ​@@SilasChapman

      I like your style. I've owned a 1965 Silver Cloud III since 1982, as only the second owner. Better by far than anything in the current range.

    An extraordinarily beautiful Rolls-Royce in an extraordinarily beautiful color, all shown with the most beautiful piece of music ever created as the background music (by the amazing Brian Eno)! I am in heaven. A wonderful video indeed. Thank you so much. And thank you for the shout out concerning suicide prevention and being kind to one's neighbors.

      My Spur is an '84 and they're absolutely fine. One of those looks like the engine oil light though mine has a button on the dash to check oil level while on the move. Not sure if it's still there on later versions.

He wasn't a lane hog or anything, and was good at making it easy for HGV's to overtake him. He never got below 50 TBF. He also never had to get a brake job, and changed the brake and suspension fluids every two years.

      Actually the most unreliable car was the Rover 3500 SD1. I had one as I wanted a smart hatchback to go with my Silver Cloud III. In 12 months the Rover went back 11 times. The hatchback popped open if the window was open, it wouldn't start if it rained and the heating system packed up a month out of warranty.
