Thread: Thinking of buying a Brooklands

Anyone here had any experience with this car. It's a 2009 with approx. 800 miles. Any pros and cons would be appreciated.

I looked at one a few months back. It is gorgeous but it is not as roomy as I expected.

I tried to sit in it only to find that my head was 6" too high to get in the car. It was very disappointing. Not that I could afford half a mil for the car, but still.

Now, understand this. This is not a techno-fied Continental series of Bentleys. It is a slab and is relatively low tech. Just keep that in mind if you like the toys.

Try calling Grady Davis at Davis Exotics. He has delt with a few of these. Great guy to ask questions about Bentley's. He was number one in Bentley sales for awhile there. Great Guy!

I never drove it but I spent some time in one prior to a rally. The fit and finish was second to none and the car was extremely comfortable and luxurious.

Take one for a test drive.

Sir, you have taste. Can we use this thread for spamming some images?

Good luck with the hunt!

Yes I currently own a black one and it is my favorite daily driver. I was able to pick mine up Dirt Cheap!!! if you can do the same, I have nothing but positive things to say. Being that I am a big luxury car and RR / Bentley lover I now prefer to drive this over the Phantom being that it provides all the luxury, with a shorter wheel base if they made this car in a SC (Had 1, All Time Favorite Bentley) I would be first on the list. I'm sure Grady can get you a great deal.
Best of Luck!

Is it as a daily driver?
- if not i would go for a Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé!

I drove a couple and really pushed them on the streets of SF. I was definitely impressed. The Arnage, Azure, & Brooklands all have less room for tall driver's compared to the Continental line. Less seat and steering wheels adjustments. And yes, less technology, but the typical buyer of the higher end Bentleys is generally older and doesn't want to mess with all the buttons and gadgets.
