Bentley Arnage T Le Mans Mulliner

I do like it when people go all out and get what they want.

When you go to Bentley Mulliner you certainly can customise the details.

Without any respect for subtly.

Take a look at this Bentley Arnage T Le Mans Mulliner.



The photo quality is rubbish, but have you noticed the colour?



This is a two tone blue. Squint, that is a darker blue on the bumpers, grill surround and sides.



I quite like it. The Union Jack is on all Le Mans Arnages, as is the wing vent. Sure all Bentleys come with coloured brake callipers.



Now this is where Bentley Mulliner really comes into its own. At the owners request, the answer should be yes.

How good is this interior. It's just great.



I want this piece that colour and that piece this.

I want a machine turned alloy dashboard, but I want a wooden centre console.



I want the Bentley logo on the upper seat back. I want the Bentley logo on the head rest.

But that would mean that they are repeated? I don't care, that's what I want.



The colour combo is quite stunning.



Absolutely no consideration of resale value required in this Bentley Mulliner order!



I totally would have it!



For sale for £69,995 here.

Thanks Nigel for sending in the link.

Bentley Brooklands by Anderson Gernamy

The number of companies that will sell you plastic stick on bits for your Bentley Continental GT is probably more than all your phalanges.

Anderson Germany, in Düsseldorf otherwise known as DA Premium Cars UG certainly does that with a number of 'editions' of Bentley body kits for your GT.

However they have also played with a Bentley Brooklands.



Not too often do tuner companies have a go that the Brooklands.



Slightly surprisingly they have left off the carbon-fibre look F-111 wings and the rear machine gun mounts.

I think they have only changed the wheels, which look totally legitimate.



What they have spent time on is the interior. And what a result!

It looks like the work of Mulliner, which some of it may have been, but the end result is very good.



That drinks cabinet is just superb. It is so much better having a drink out of some Wedgewoods in the back seat, compared to the standard paper cut and plastic straw large diet coke.



I wonder if it has a fridge.

Bentley Arnage T Station Wagon

Now here is something rare.

That's right, this is a Bentley Arnage T station wagon or estate.



This car has popped up for sale in Italy, and looks like a recent import with its California number plates.



The wood panels are certainly a treat for an American style station wagon. I'm quite impressed.



The ad states "Beautifull project whit Arnage T 2004 with front and rear axle from Cadillac Escalade 4x4, double sunroof,wood side,silver with interior black."

That spec is very reminiscent of the Jankel 4x4 Bentley Turbo R Estate cars from the 80/90's.

From the design of this car, I'm thinking it is a sister car to the VGD Genaddi Design group white Arnage T station wagon I've posted about previously.



It certainly does look like a very good job.

It is currently for sale at britishmotors.it and at carandclassic.co.uk.

A big thank you to Nigel for sending in the link.

Bentley Arnage RL 250 on the Street

Why not take a look at a total of 10 different Bentley Arnage RL 250 cars on the Street.

Out the front of Gucci darling.

Stuck in traffic.

Now for some home furnishings at Laura Ashley.

Probably on the way to work.

Now these two number plates, I'm guessing one Hong Kong, one main land China. Probably off to the Casino.

Bentley Arnage RL "3833"

From this angle I'm not 100% sure it is an Arnage RL 250, but we will go with it, as it has an amazing number plate. It looks like down under to me, with a Ford Falcon taxi at the front, Perth I think.

Bentley Arnage RL Limousine

This is quite an artistic photo of an Arnage RL 250.

Bentley Arnage RL "3833"

Vladislav uploaded this photo of a lady in an Arnage RL. It's not quite on the street, but quite nice to look at.



This in fact could be a Bentley Arnage RL 450, as there is certainly a lot of room for those legs in the back seat.

Thanks to all the people who uploaded their photos.

Lord Mayor of Westminster's Rolls-Royce Park Ward

Here is the Lord Mayor of Westminster's official Rolls-Royce Park Ward spotted diving down the street.



I do like the protocol of the bonnet mounted flag and the roof mounted City of Westminster Coat of Arms. Quite nice.

The Park Ward derivative of the Silver Seraph is of course the long wheel base version, similar to the Arnage RL version of the Bentley. It is extended by a total of 250mm/10", where interestingly enough 2" goes to the front seats, and the rear gets and extra 8". The extra long rear door is the visual cue.

The car was apparently purchased in 2003 for over £90,000. In Jul 2006 the LibDems 'had the WE 1 registration valued by independent experts, who placed the value of the unusual number at £75,000.' and suggested selling it.



An Arnage happens to be following in this photo.

I think WE 1 works quite well for the Lord Mayor of Westminster.

Another interesting fact is that the Park Ward and the Silver Seraph have wheels that are of the same design, where the Park Ward are 18" and the Silver Seraph is 16". Thank you to Richard for that interesting fact.

A total on 127 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph Park Ward cars were made.

Bentley Brooklands Spotting

Out of the total of 550 Bentley Brooklands ever made, may I present 5% of them. That's 27.


I am of course referring to the modern Bentley Brooklands, based on the Arnage platform.


What is special about this group of Bentley Brooklands photos is that they are all photos taken on the street.


That's right, amateur Bentley Spotting from the street.


The rear of the car in certainly impressive.


Now for some photos with added visual effects.











Watch out for mutants!











What out for the black cat!








The matte wheels below do look good.

















I'm not too keen on the colour below.


But I do like it that it is a little different.






And how about some Bentley Brooklands been cleaned.





Thanks to all the Flickr users for sharing them.
