Default Photos of Bentley Continental GTC.

I saw this today in a pub car park in Disley, UK.
It's the new Bentley Continental GTC.Unfortunately couldn't get a picture of it with the roof fully down. The guy wasn't too happy with me taking pictures.

Agreed - but then I'm not a fan of the regular Continental or Flying Spur.

Fair point about the Flying Spur - but this car is a convertible Continental, so of course it's going to look the same.

I'll say it again. I think the only good version of that car is the Flying Spur. It is the only one that looks right.

It actually looked quite nice in the flesh. Pictures don't really do it justice.

What really suprised me is that it's a 55 plate which means it was registered before March so it must have been going around for a while.

GTC can do it well (as well as a German car can), Azure can do it perfectly. images/smilies/thumbup.gif

That Peugeot looks nice... images/smilies/tongue.gif images/smilies/lol.gif

I like the looks of that car but what is it supposed to be? I mean it is a coupé and a race version of a limousine and then they make a convertible of it. images/smilies/wink.gif

But Bentley nowadays is for cruising. (Well the convertibles are) So this one will do it perfectly. The Azure looks nice also. 8)
