Bentley Dream Died - Long Live Queen Omega!
« on: 01 July 2013, 17:34:00 »

Yes, after much soul searching the brain won over the heart and I decided against buying an old Bentley.

Instead I decided to upgrade my Omega to a 2003 (53) 3.2 V6 Elite Auto, with Sat Nav, and only 55,600 verified miles on the clock.

Px'd my old faithful 3.0 which was showing it's age at almost 127K miles, and I wanted more umph!  The 3.2 certainly has that, very noticeably so, and even makes the old 3.0 seem slow! :D :D :D

Apart from that I was born in 1953, and the 10 year old has that 53 plate; well I do not want to fork out for a personalised number as I am doing up my home! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

.........and yes, it was bought from Roger Budden of Sandhurst, with full service history, cam belt replaced 20K ago, another service at it's current mileage, with all Vx parts used, all new tyres, and a 12 month parts and labour warranty.

As I always say, you only get what you pay for!

PS Roger Budden is a nice guy who you can do business with :y :y :y

Low mileage 3.2 Elite's are thin on the ground, Lizzie......but that looks like one of the best available. :-* :-* :-* :-*

I love the colour ( what is it called?).....I'm sick to death of poxy star silver.

Go on wealthy lady, tell us all how much it set you back?.... :y :-* :-* :-* :-*

your new acquisition has scrubbed well, and so it should drive like new, its only just run in at those miles !!! ( I don't buy mine until they've done in excess of 100k.)

Rubens red with shale leather, which is indeed a nice colour combination.
I currently have in a 1982 Bentley Continental Convertible, which is a lovely vehicle...but required in excess of £6,000 worth of work for the last MOT, and this one's actually in good condition. So, as lovely as Bentley's are, an Omega is just as good and more cost effective. I have a 2001 Arnage 6.75, which again is lovely but the spec on that isn't quite as good as a 3.2 Elite. Hopefully I'll see your new acquisition in person at one of the meets  :y
