George, Jon, Michel, John, Ron, Heine and Norbert: Thanks! And, Heine, you have no excuse. You NEED a Longchamp! Big Grin

David, thanks for keeping it quiet until everything was finalized. And, yes, once I get the GT5-S, I will update my avatar to include that AND the GT40 again. Don't hold your breath. It could be a while… What was that about time and money?

Is the interior green?

I would get another air filter, either orig or black crinkle/wrinkle, what's it called, that looked like the valve covers, just my $0.02.
Nice to see the orig front disc cooling ducts.
Wonder why they painted a Bentley logo on it? Big Grin


Mikael,

No, the interior is black leather. That's just a crapy picture. It was a lot darker than it appears in the pictures. Yes, it's a real shame they couldn't afford to put in that slush-box three-speed automatic. The subtle Bentley logo is just so people will know when looking that this car is something special. Big Grin Otherwise they might confuse it with a 1980's Mustang. Frowner

But, yes, I have already got a list a few things that need doing. Thankfully all are, as far as I know, fairly minor. Dressing up the engine bay a tad and giving the whole car a good detailing and polish will be early on the list. Once I have driven it a bit I will know more about what needs tending to.

John, yes, I'm very happy with the body and paint work. Barely a mark on it so my work will be much easier than some (EVERY?) other cars I've purchased. The trim is not quite at the same standard, but I will bring that up over time. Like David said, I just need more time and money!

Mark
