Paint it pink and Lady Penelope has a ride for the new millenium. I'm just not feeling this myself, can appreciate the quality of the concept but it's not working for me personally.

Interesting. Certainly seems better than some of the bland stuff that Bentley are actually building at the moment. Is it just me or is the Continental just dull?

It is just downright ugly. A mis-proportioned heap that just follows the stale old formula for a retro-modern looking car. Yawn.

That looks nice in it's own way. A bit 'contrived' for my liking, and I really would change those wheels. I know chrome rimzzorzzz are now the ONLY thing 2 hav innit, but surely if you're making such a huge retro statement with the rest of the car some wires would suit it better? And sorry to hijack the thread, doubtless with a pea-roast at that, but just to make a contrast between the results of: 1) vast sums of money & access to any modern technology you could want, and 2) sheer genius & skill, hard work & parts from a scrapyard- Looks 100 times better in the flesh. Top bloke, too.

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in

why did they go through all the trouble of designing and building that concept car only to stick a Monopoly Iron on the roof at the back?! I think it looks great otherwise!

Bentley S3-meets-Humber Pig.
I like the side profile (you know, the standard-looking bit...), and the back end. And it's a nice colour. Front end and wheels don't work for me, I reckon wheels that size could work but not a fan of that design either.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

Truely fugly idea. I'm all for modding bombs but the original S3 is stunning ( www.rrab.com/bs3.htm ). A helthy drop and rims would make a stunning cruiser.

Sorry but to me that looks awful. With all that work why not make it a two-door and why have they used a flat Mack truck grille instead of a vee-shaped Bentley grille? Wheels are totally out of proportion and the roof vent or whatever it is is at complete odds with any attempt at smoothness. Did that Westwood bloke have anything to do with this? Much rather have Andy's Bentally Insane. Editied to add - this is much nicer, even though, for me, the wheels are too large a diameter.
