The bodywork is beautifully straight with gleaming Ebony paint and on the road the Bentley is equally as impressive with a lovely smooth engine and automatic transmission and the car handles wonderfully, brakes pull up sharply and the car has a relaxed, high quality feel. Supplied by us with 12 months MOT and freshly serviced, this is a car that will leave us ready to use and enjoy without further expenditure.
