As a car it's not worth anything like that, but as a rare inventive novelty, it might be considered art.

£100,000 will still, just, buy you two or three interesting cars that you may actually want to drive.

Mein gott. That is a lot of money. Reminds me of stamp collectors getting rare stamps.

I believe Clarkson and co built the smaller P45 but it was soon seen as redundant. ::) ::)

You could buy every omega in the UK and still have change.

Expensive, particularly considering I would need one for each foot.

I'd rather have the Phaeton it shares a platform with. And as those were VWs with Bentley running costs, that would be a truly stupid thing to do.

I wouldn't do it anyway it's " pretend" not in the habit of doing
" stupid".

A 'Birkin Bentley' might be nice but I doubt £100,000 would touch the sides. :-\
