Heading home tomorrow ; I have a wedding to go to on Saturday. I plan to view a Bentley Continental GTC on sale near Newbury. It has all the required number of Bentley main dealer stamps in the service book, so could be a sound car. I say COULD be a sound car, because alarms bells are ringing.
Knowing quite a few Bentley dealers in the South West ( the Mother in Law has an Azure and lives in
Calne ), I asked the dealer which actual Bentley main dealers had serviced his car. Much apparent alarm and despondency on his part, since he stammered and stuttered and confessed that his in house mechanic once actually worked for Bentley and it is he that has actually serviced the car.....oh yeah,
and clearly contrived to nick a Bentley service stamp at the same time !
Mind you, dodgy though that might be, it just cannot be as iffy as one I saw earlier this week ! My teenage daughter spotted the advert for it. It is ALL black. Black paintwork, black leather interior, black alloy wheels.......it's windows are all tinted too - what colour you may well ask ? What do you think !
BLACK, BLACK, BLACK ! She says that I have just got to buy it since it looks just like a BIGTIME drug dealers car. I ask the dealer to show me the logbook in order to see if the owner was obviously a drug dealer. Expecting to see the name of " Puff Daddy " or " Sweet and Low " or " The Man with the Golden
Arm ", I was more than a little surprised to see the name of a well known highly respectable elderly
Duchess as the previous owner !
