Reply With QuoteI'm afraid for me the clock is about as good looking as the rest of the car.
A rather lovely Bentley tourbillon...
Possibly the highlight of the car for me as it seems to be a bit of an acquired taste from the rest of the pictures that I have seen

Hmm regarding the car itself, i think aquired taste is putting it mildly.. Looks like they have taken a regular car and just stretched it out.. Generally i think alot of ' really luxury SUVs' like Range Rover Evoque etc. are 'aquired taste', who buys these?

A vehicle aimed squarely at rap artists and Oligarchs.
Just my view and of no importance to Bentley or their marketing people (or indeed many other :-D)

This car will sell like it is going out of fashion, along with the many many thousands of options they will spec it up with.Originally Posted by Crouchy
Audi are proving you don't even need to try and polish a turd if you can roll it in very exclusive glitter.
But in my eyes, the clock and the car and chuffing ugly as sin.
That, looks like it's supposed too ... High end high price ... Out of my price range
Yep !! Dont wish to appear rude but not something i would want to own or be seen in ...... Bently in the past have made some glorious road cars and some wonderful racing cars , but the latest range bears really no relationship to there glorious past !!
I do wonder how many soccer players and drug dealers will know or care what a tourbillon is.
W.O.B. must be turning in his grave.
Took the words out of my mouth completely...this is wrong ...very wrong and as wrong as a mini 4x4...
Does it look half as good as ours VW? (IMHO) No.....it doesn't...it's unpleasant..WO would be horrified.........Then don't do it.....
Lovely car. I don't have a clue what you are saying though!Took the words out of my mouth completely...this is wrong ...very wrong and as wrong as a mini 4x4...

Yep that's lovely and indeed "WO" would be horrified .......
At least as wrong as a Porsche truck, I'd have thought - and how many of those are there on this forum ;).
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Never mind that, what about "Jaguar"-branded cars with diseasel engines and manual transmissions?
Nice picture lordloz and of course car, and the place looks ideal for a car like that.
Thanks Kirkwhich bit have I garbled? Sorry ...
Thanks for kind words Tazio and Knisse....
That is a lovely place but was its former lodgings in the Cotswolds... I would post more pics of it here but it's in the paint shop having a full re spray ... When we eventually *sigh* get it back I'll be delighted ...but the workshop is working at Devon pace so it will always be ready tomorrow ....
Yup, the car's a rather unfortunate pastiche of current models, however SUVs are big sellers now and in future, whether folks like it or not. I'm sure old W.O. would put company survival over style.
As for analogue timepieces in cars, meh.
Frankly you could fill the car with four naked supermodels and I still don't think I could bring myself to sit in it.
Given that most buyers will wont be strapped for cash, are they actually that bothered what time it is?
I thought a Tourbillon was meant to maintain accuracy in spite of a watch being moved into different positions. What's the point of having one in a clock that's stuck to the dashboard of a car?
What's the point of the car !! ......
Finally, something for poor people who can't afford the real thing..
Luxury? Sales volumes? Can you really not qwork this our for yeorsel? Companies exist to make money for shareholders; Bentley need an SUV for China, the Middle East and the US - here it is.
It's a rival to the all-conquering Range Rover; more than a rival in fact.
It's ok, I've re-read it in the 'cold light of day' and now understand what W. O means! That's a proper Bentley, lovely...Thanks Kirk
I agree!
In South Kensington / Knightsbridge, they’ll be parking them up nose to tail.
That clock is f’in horrible. Perfectly judged given the intended market.
Just a little more interesting,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Attachment 9521
Shocked today ... Collecting the Sunday newspaper saw one of those on the front of autocar I think ! Number plate "WO 1 " having a laugh surely turning in the grave springs to mind ....
Seeing that I feel so much better .....
Oh ! Really goodness thanks for pointing that out !! Oddly Alfa are doing the same thing ..... Have you heard of sarcasm ? Judging by your spelling possible not ....
And a winder included for free!

Is that a problem with BOTH or do you think all Jaguars should have automatic boxes?
The concept of an E-Type with an automatic gearbox is as absurd as this Bentley 4x4 in my view...

The vehicle's ghastly. The timepiece is ghastly. The diamonds on the dial will attract a ghastly type of criminal.
DAAHLING, I WANT ONE! And I want to visit the beastly thief in jail and let him know there's always a bed at my place for his rehabilitation!
MWAH
Visit me on Fabguys, luv!

Will cost more to service the watch than the car... not that that will upset any of the owners much!
