  • Could The Bentley Flying Spur actually be a fantastic family car? Do child seats fit? will my baby in a rear facing seat be comfortable or cry as she is used to more sporty cars? Also what are the running costs? Will it bankrupt you? I answer all of this and more!

    I have a Continental Flying Spur and paid £20k 3 1/2 years ago. I've not shelled out any big amounts in repairs and maintenance. Like every car, prestige or not, if it's well cared for, serviced regularly and maintenance done without delay, they are far more likely to be reliable and mines done 90K miles. I'd be more warey of a example that hasn't been driven than one that has. My best tip, unless you drive it daily, is by a trickle charger and ensure you keep it in a garage. I love mine and it's been dependable. I'd have another in a heartbeat if I ever sell this one, or maybe, it's big brother, the Mulsanne. Thanks for sharing.

    I have owned a 54 continental GT for over 3 years now, bought with 35k miles on, road tax £390, insurance £263, service at Bentley specialist £800, bi annual as I do 2500 miles a year, mpg is 20 at best, 30 is miles off imo.
    Absolutely stunning car, every mile is a smile.
    Do your research, don't buy cheap for the sake of it, get the "right" one, you'll love it

    Hi Ben. Hope your doing good.
    That's one cool Bentley. I like how they mark the isofix ports on the seats in the back.
    Stay safe and take care.

    Your child should not be on sides if air bags aren’t disabled

      @dadcars  Před 11 měsíci

      Not sure what you mean? If a child seat is on the passenger side front seat the airbag needs to be disabled obviously
