Apologies for the poor quality iPhone photos, people kept getting in the way and it was difficult to take pictures with a glass of champagne in one hand!.
Bentley are touring the country with two W12 cars, spending one day at each dealer. The colour, Rubino Red, was formulated when a Conti GTC customer requested a darker version of a standard red. They named it Rubino Red and as it looked so good it was added it to their range of Extended Colours .
The interior and exterior quality and finish was amazing. Interestingly, Bentley has done a "Porsche" on the centre consul, adding an extensive block of switches below the gear selector. The rear seats have slightly more leg room at the expense of a smaller boot, which could be a retrograde step.

. The V8 version with the Panamera engine will not be on sale for at least two years.

Love the colour Mistertoad.... Now thats the Red i would love to see a Porsche in.

All my cars are touch screen now but i hate using the touch screen. So much easier to push a button for the things you want to change all the time.
Jaguar Fpace was a terrible example of having to scroll through a touch screen for seat heating.... Touch screens are ok for some functions and sound cool but not really in cars ime....
GTS 😀
