A slick little roadster just outside my budget.

we have an active Bentley enthusiast club here in Victoria. Along the lines of the above responses, I cannot afford the club membership fee!
Thats a stunning example John.

I love the car. Bet it would be a blast to drive around these narrow mountain roads! But, honestly, for the selling price it got, and deserved, I'd rather have the beauty that is the current Bentley Continental GTC S.

@perrone1 I tend to agree on your modern choice Tony. If the '31 is regularly used the owner would have to wear a mechanics coveralls, driving goggles and a warm scarf...and pack a load of tools and a headful of mechanical knowledge! Gorgeous old beast but labor intensive!

I have noticed that. There's a dealer in Knoxville that sells them. Beautiful, low mileage models of only a couple years old and they are drastically priced down from the new sticker cost.
If they come down any more, I'm liable to buy 3 or 4 of them.
