Bentley Motors Continental Flying Spur Review

Used Value3 out of 5

The Flying Spur Speed is not only an expensive car to buy, it's also likely to hurt more than a little when you come to sell. You can find three-year-old Spurs selling for around half their original value and although no-one knows what the split between Spurs and Speeds is going to be, it would be naïve to presume the Speed will be in any way immune to the forces of depreciation, especially in this market.

The advice to those considering such a car is to either buy new and keep forever or save tens of thousands of pounds getting a nearly new example. They are surprisingly plentiful on the second-hand market and finding one to match your approximate specification should not normally be too difficult to achieve.
