    Bentley should put a *Depreciation Gauge* on the dashboard right next to the tachometer. It would have to be something like a calendar / odometer combo gauge, with a dollar figure overlay, so you could see just how much value your new Bentley is losing with every passing mile, and every passing day. This gauge would run continually in the background, so that when you get into the vehicle after a prolonged absence, it would be able to tell you exactly how much less it is worth since the last time you drove it. I would also suggest that they include a *Doomsday / Sunset* feature with the depreciation gauge, (they could market it as a package!). This feature would activate when the car has achieved *maximum worthlessness* , which can best be described as the point where it would make more sense financially to have it crushed and made into a coffee table, than it would to replace the carbon ceramic brakes.

      Oh, that's pretty easy, just look at the odometer and multiply each mile by $20! IE, 1000 mi = $20,000. Seems about right to me. Tyler even said so. But I'm wrong . . . that's just for repairs.

    I have a 96 Brooklands I've owned for 8 years. I've spent $22k on various repairs since I bought it and that's me doing most of the work. I just completed a 2,500 road trip and it was perfect. It has never let me down. Unfortunately the two main problems with these cars is either they are neglected because owners don't have the desire or funds to maintain them or the people working on them are completely clueless. Even Rolls/Bentley dealers are not interested or knowledgeable about working on these antiques, I already found that out. Anyone can buy an old Bentley, they're cheap but running it is the trick. If you want one, buy the best and either learn to fix it yourself or find a good mechanic who wont charge you an arm and leg. They are built like any classic British car, very simple but labor intensive. I've lost my patience many times on this car while doing a particular repair but the secret is to walk away calm down start again and stay focused. Easier said than done!

    Thanks Tyler. You have absolutely convinced me to never own... BMW, Mercedes or Bentley. I was never going to do that anyways but you have driven the point home. My one flirt with this type of car was owning a beautiful example of a 1987 Jag XJ6. Not a scratch on it or a mark on the leather or wood. It could not pass a Jag dealer without turning in for another $1k repair. It often left me stranded. I never drove it in the winter but it still rusted through in multiple places. I traded in even money for a well used Couger. The dealer lost his shirt on it.

It runs so smooth and there are nu bumps or rattles, the radio doesn't work, neither do the powered mirrors or the driver side heated seat. But I smile every time I drive it. It's an absolute boat with virtually no performance but I don't care. I wished the interior looked like the Bentley and not Walmart but it's a simple big lumbering cruiser of a car and like I said, it makes me smile.

    The Bosch gar-ba-G-tronic mechanical fuel injection is a major reason why the European specialty shop I used to work for had a pretty firm rule of "1996 or newer only." It is such an over complicated system, and there was no reason for it to survive for as long as it did. There were good electronic fuel injection systems widely available in the early 1980s (some available even earlier than that) on cars much less expensive than this, yet some manufacturers like Mercedes, RR and Bentley kept using the garbagetronic will into the 90s.
    The hydraulic system was just complicated for the sake of being complicated, and in my opinion, downright dangerous. Having so many vehicle systems that are integral for maintaining vehicle control (brakes, steering and suspension) controlled off of one massively over-complicated hydraulic system was/is idiotic.

    My black paint however was awesome and deep so I think all you need is a detail on that. It is very good paint. I honestly think the trouble with most of these cars are that they sit too much. They must be driven every week for at least 20 mi at one time to exercise them out. I have owned four rolls or Bentleys over the last 35 years.. and honestly had very little trouble with them, because I drove them weekly.

    There is an easy solution for this car. It's transmission is the lynch pin of the plan. It's a 4L80e. If I had that car the most important thing would be the body and interior. I would strip it down. Swap in a Chevrolet V8 to the transmission. I'd remove the hydraulic suspension and switch either to a modern self leveling air suspension or a steel spring suspension. I'd rewire everything and replace anything bespoke or expensive with cheap, readily available GM or Ford components. It would be as easy as maintaining a HD gas GM pickup truck when I was done with it. It would just have a cool body and interior.
