ditto sorry green party but this machine is adorable.

Me to 😂

That and the comment "the finesse of a rhino" was another good Metcalfe-ism. Delightful.

Yes I know. This is what we need since Top Gear lost the 3 amigos

This is most quintessentially British written post. I love it. I own a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur so that not sporty at all. I long for a Turbo R.

You become at one with world and a "herd of dead cows" as Harry said.

Hopefully you've had better luck with yours than Hoovie's Garage

@@JerryDLTN haha yeah

I enjoyed reading this post 📚.

Oh thanks. I was just about to ask

All the whilst Harry was seduced by the heating/cooling dial-style button :)

Whew. Thought I was the only one to notice that. Although I think I prefer the classic style - it's less cross-eyed. :-)

Not rare enough

So, how's the turning radius, on the bentley?

Nope...

@@trackpack3899It's way better looking than the relatively short 15 ft 9 inch long 03 Conti. Just look at the front of this 96 Conti that is just timeless presence!

so has the car lol

Ryanair is indeed a one in a lifetime experience

@@MartinIrwin Not if your skint it isn't.

It’s dirty work but someone’s got to do it. Lucky you.

@Leroy Brown The car belonged to a UK businessman that lived abroad in Asia. He used to fly into the UK regularly and insisted the car was made available for him at the airport. He didn’t want to use chauffeurs or taxis as he liked to drive himself. My dad worked for the company that stored it for him and he used to drop it off at the airport and collect it again when the guy flew home. On this occasion the owner was flying into Rome on business and asked for the car to be made available there. My dad asked me if I wanted to go with him and share the driving and needless to say I said yes, and then of course seized the opportunity and did all of the driving! We flew home after dropping it off at the airport and my dad went back to Rome just four days later to bring it back to the UK again. Great memories of the car, the trip and my dad. He’s 83 now, but we’ll have that memory forever.

I like this story, although I confess it made me feel a little jealous of you

They certainly weren't for Arab poseurs back then

@@visionist7 Oh yes they were. & I know a few. What they weren't was footBaller's cars. These were the cars of their owners and they didn't get gold plated to say my dix bigger n' yours. Before Bentley became a big VW Phaeton.

Me too. I really love the Turbo RT, AND THE RT MULLINER.

"Engine room - full ahead please" "Aye aye, Sir"

HILARIOUS

More power coming up sir .... Buy the new one plz

No I often look after watching a Harry vid. There are current just two Conti T's in the country up for sale on AT.....one in the same colour as Harry drives here, a 99 S reg model with just 29k on the clock. A snip at a mere £129,950!! But it's got the metal dashboard which I think looks dreadful.

Ben, no you're not. Me too!

Yup and I live in New Zealand so they're even rarer...

...no... but the only episode where I could find something in my price range was about the bikes....

Virtual tyre kicking...

such as you, there are very interested persons on cars like Harry reviews, but unfurtunately the're not available much cars like that in a price or condition that we can say good for us. Congratulations if you get a car! but the real target is keep it in shape.

Agree. No, never any doubt. It's always great for car and bike enthusiasts to listen to Harry.

Good shout !! But actualy i've never come across a computer with a soul at least up until now.....

yeah i think it depends. Modern engineering is not so bad if they fust kept the weight down. The new porsches feel so bloated compared to older ones.

I've got a 208 GTI that I bought because of reading a Harry Metcalfe review, doesn't feel soulless at all!

I drive an 90's model Mercedes that's loaded with tech, and that's scary. There are the equivalent of 20 or so 90's computers that could go bonkers at any time. It's amazing that it all still works reliably.

@@briankelvindiffey3006 nahhhh, i like the fact that the new ones start now 😅

LOL er..No Dude..it's a total dud. Go Google the 80's Mulsanne

@Dave S. That mulsanne looks old but contemporary but the continental still looks relatively new

Hmm. I think the new cgt looks fantastic

Mitchell Steindler I Agree it looks great, I’m just thinking 15-20 yrs from now this one will command way more road presence and be a true classic. The new one is amazing now but not sure how it will look at the age of this model being highlighted

Dave S. I was sharing my opinion. For you to say my opinion is in incorrect is a waste of your time. I enjoy both, I like to like to the future and see how unique this old style looked and how similar modern cars look to each other. Have a good night

True that.

Forget your worries and do some man maths re your next car purchase, all inspired by Harry’s enthusiasm re his latest drive. We all love Mr M’s videos - he’s the man!

Harry speaks to us as if we are in the passenger seat beside him.

Hear hear 😊

Great choice. I have my RR Shadow but often wonder about swapping it out for a Turbo R of similar vintage to yours. They way they go down the road and how they make you feel from behind the wheel is both unique and wonderful. suggest we should continue to enjoy the sensation while we still can!

@@harrysgarage let's hope the day never comes we have to give up petrol. Battery powered vehicles are so limited, let's hope sence prevails and Hydrogen becomes the common transport solution. And Petrol will be sold along side.

Or Doug Munro

Harry is a walking encylopedia . Shmee will be in Harry's league in 30 years.

shmee150 does my bloody head in. 😡😡

Shmee has a face begging to be punched repeatedly

respek ma authoritah LOL I know what you mean!

That's the Oxfordshire Cotswolds for you mate. Range Rovers and Bentleys are considered normal everyday cars in these parts. A while ago, a chap with an S-Class moved here and the local council put him on income support. Different world.

lol meem nadeedan YhattahYtahT

Alan Mac indeed old chap

@@matthewgodwin3050 I love this ha ha 😄

Should it have a ally dashboard or was it a option

This was the last of the hand built cars. It can’t really be compared with the VW Phaeton inspired Arnage. The weight, such as the bank vault doors, is part of its character, and its shortcomings are also part of its charm. But it has a presence, particularly the standard long wheel base R, which even the Rolls Phantom struggles to match. I love it!

The people who can afford these cars can (and do) often have both. They are for quite different purposes. And if you have a family, it's more practical.

The original owner probably had those cars in their collection already..

Paul8342 i’d just take two 993s, one turbo and one NA

Xxx Dodacion I’ll happily do that two - my Dad had 3 993’s when I was a kid (a Carrera followed by two Carrera ‘S’) and I absolutely love them!

people who buy bentleys/ferraris are quite different from porsche fans this is why it weighs so much and for bentley it is not a problem but a benefit

Totally agree! I cannot understand why they look so fussy now in particular the frontal styling, with ghastly giant twin headlamps!

I know exactly what you mean Jonathan and I completely agree 👍

Good eye! I thought that was a fixed roof Morgan...same dark pallette.

Yeah it might be a bit dial over kill but still looks better than a finger printed touch screen in most cars nowadays :)

It is reminiscent of a slab of wood with dials in it.

@@stephen300o6 YOur car is a slab of metal with wheels on it to that extent. Many look like it too if it comes to that....
