The Elegant Bentley Continental!

Class? Yes. But while I appreciate Mulliner's work, not so ga-ga over that Bentley as Finnes. And his dismissing of the Corniche as "vulgar" is a bit over the top, IMO. They're BOTH nice classic old English lumps. I don't believe I've ever had my hands in the Bentley model shown but have done a LOT of work on Corniche cars. Nothing shabby about them, and their lines are quite similar to the Bentley. Under the skin they're near-identical Rollie design/engineering. Those were the last of the heirloom quality cars to come out of either works, AFAIC. What came after was to satisfy the "I want a NEW car" mentality.
 
It's a nice car, and as Doc said the last of the truly heirloom quality cars from Bentley. That said i don't think it is the epitome of British elegance as the video claims. I'd look back into the history of Bentley, or RR for that honor.
