The beautiful Dials

Gear knob

Door Handle

Boot and Fuel cap release

Sun Visor with Vanity mirror on both sides

Cabin Lights

Cabin lights on

Removable handcrafted veneer case

Spring Loaded leather clad grab handle with steel rings

Center Console is pleasing to the eye

Indicator and Dipper controls..also seen is the Paddle Shift Left side Lever for reducing gears..Right side is for upshifting.

They do not move with the steering and so are easy to use.

Stainless steel Air Vents

..easy to use and very effective

Air flow turned on.. using these superb hand turned Steel "Piano" Knobs

Air flow is turned off by simply depressing the knob

That Gear knob is so very much to die for.
This thread is making me jealous now.

The Bentley is designed to last over a 100 years and many owners. Recently saw a program on Discovery about this super-car and how it is made. I heard the rear trays behind the front seats has more than 50 intricate parts. Do let us have a dekko of that...

@Mannuj - Thanks for the superb pics. The attention to detail in the craftmanship is mindblowing.

Bentley branding is everywhere - Gear Knob, Steering, Wheel Discs etc. You are absolutely right the tyre valve caps can actually be used as cufflinks.

Once again congrats on this wonderful acquisition.

Beautiful Pictures. Good to see such detailed images of a super luxury car. Helps to gauge the craftsmanship as compared to other less expensive cars . Carry on with the pictures and ride safe.

Taronish_E · 29th October 2011, 13:11

This thread brought a tear to my eye. The beauty of a Bentley is almost unparalleled and to me they are the better among the Winged B and the Rolls Royce.

These cars,especially the Brooklands are something that I never thought you could have in India. It shows how our country has arrived if one of the most exclusive cars in the world makes its way here.

Congratulations on your new car Manuuj Sir.

Its a very valid question my friend..but its safe to say that the car does not require a running in..its good to go from the day you get it. Its always better though to exercise caution and take it easy in my humble view..my brother thinks otherwise..

What are the circular 'buttons' on either side of the rear LED strip? Parking sensors in addition to the camera?

They are parking sensors indeed ..a total of 8 if i am correct in the front and rear combined.

Thank you for the warm words also.

dkaile i think you are referring to the fold down tables that the Flying Spur and the Mulsanne come with. The GT does not have these as there is just about enough space for an adult to sit in relative comfort.

I'm pretty sure its for loose items buddy. The case is actually quite thin so far from sunglasses even my thin spectacles dont fit inside. It looks a lot like a sunglasses case but can accommodate only some change and other loose items. The only way to get sunglasses in that is to dismantle them first.. hahaha!!

Congratulations on your new car Manuuj Sir.

First of all "Manuuj Sir".. who is that?? Call me Manuuj buddy :-)

The interior of the Bentley is unparalleled to any car that I've seen so far.
The RR has great interiors but seems to be machine manufactured like those of the 7 series.

The Bentley reeks of Quality and exquisite hand-craftsmanship.

Enough said..time for some more pics..this time lets get some nice exterior shots!

Sportygellar · 29th October 2011, 17:47

Hey Manuuj...Firstly congratulations on your beautiful ride..I just read the complete thread sometime back man what an awesome thread the pictures are so fantastic.From your last post just loved the Last and the first 4th picture those are just fabulous. hope you are having a very good time with the winged B can you also make some videos of that meaty exhaust for us to drool on just like those pictures which you posted

Congratulations again and yeah that's a very beautiful house too

avishar · 29th October 2011, 21:43

If there is a house that befits a car like that,yours is one.Very nice architecture and design,both the car and house,class all around!

speedfreak01 · 30th October 2011, 17:43

Forget the car for a moment....what a beautiful house that is !!

That is very kind of you. But as I am absolutely new to the forum (one of my first posts here) I kept it formal.

That car is regal in every way imaginable and seeing these photos makes my belief even more concrete that this car manufacturer knows what they're doing. The outside of the car is as spectacular to look at as I am sure it is to drive.

Once again,absolutely brilliant. Congratulations

sagarpadaki · 30th October 2011, 20:43

Manuuj, your Bently befits your house

. Really beautiful house you have.!
