The Dark Wob

Ok as I said in a few other posts I have sold my Thunderturd and have been eying up Bentley's. Well today I shamelessly drove 8 miles to look at a 1989 Turbo R. It really does look good with 4 owners and full service history. but has no mot and the seller said the brakes feel a bit soft. I suspect he isn't used to the brakes on these things as they feel right to me. Any way I bought it for 5 grand and will pick up next week with a bit of luck. I might have to get the pushbike out to collect it though which won't be much fun as I haven't ridden one in years.

That looks lovely!

It really does look good, originally supplied to the Sultan of Pahang. Always garaged and has the correct michellin tyres, along with 2 more new old stock tyres. Everything appears to work including the air con and the outside air temperature gauge. It's just a shame I can't drive it yet.

Looks cock on does that. I 'think' I'm jealous... but I could be wrong

That comes across wrong I think, I really am jealous but cautious... too cautious probably but twice bitten three times shy if you know what I mean. But put me at the top of the list to buy it when you move it on.

Just right for dog transport, after all what police officer in their right mind would stop you in that!

Very nice!

Woah that looks cheap! Bargain.

That looks sodding lovely, bargain at that price too if it's as good as it looks.

It is a fine looking thing, no doubt about it. You may have stumbled over a bit of a bargain there.
