Captivating power delivery, exquisite and spacious interior, handles well.
Hugely expensive to buy and run, ride comfort merely adequate.
Probably the most characterful Bentley of the last half century. Better than we could have hoped.
The Brooklands has a combined fuel consumption of 14.5mpg or, to put it another way, the cost of a return trip from London to Cardiff in fuel alone is the thick end of £100 at current prices.
In the current climate, perhaps more sobering still is the fact that if you drive your Brooklands to the south of France and back, you'll be responsible for pumping about a tonne of CO2 into the atmosphere.
So you not only need to be able afford to run the car, but also be able to take a rather robust view about what's coming out of its elegant, chromed and ovoid exhausts.
