Bentley fans everywhere will be pleased to hear about the unveiling for two new Bentleys for the Chinese market. Unfortunately these great cars won’t be available in and UK based Bentley Dealers for now.

These new stylish additions have been designed exclusively for the Chinese market with a special emphasis on a sleek new looking 3 tone interior which creates a stunning visual impact. This artistic approach is apparent in details like the seat belts, floor mats and even on the fine stitching on the steering wheel.

Both cars, the Continental GT Design series China and the Continental Flying Spur Speed China have both been unveiled to the Chinese market at the Auto China Motor Show which started on the April 23rd.

You will also find additional luxury provided by Bentley. In the back of the car you will find custom leather cushions for rear passengers which have been embroidered with the Bentley logo on them.

This exclusive release to China may have something to do with the Chinese market being the third most important to Bentley. Since entering the Chinese market in 2002 sales have grown ten fold in just seven years.

Terry Wogan’s Bentley sold at auction

You may have heard one or two whispers about the legendary Radio 2 broadcaster retiring this week. Sir Terry Wogan is set to step down from is early morning breakfast show after 27 years presenting it. The broadcaster has decided to step down from the show whilst also moving away from presenting the Eurovision Song contest.

But it is not only Mr. Wogan himself that has made the news. It was revealed that a pre-owned Bentley was sold at auction, which happened to be owned by Mr Wogan himself.

The car was purchased by a museum in the former Soviet state. At the time of the auction the car was not in possession of Sir Terrance, in fact he had sold the car some years ago. There was a little bit of interest in the bidding for the car.

The new owner of the car can be reassured that the Bentley would have been well looked after by Sir Terry, as he holds the second slowest lap time on a TV race that competes celebrities in reasonably priced cars.

His former motor is a Bentley Eight which was introduced in 1984 in a bid to attract the younger generation of buyers.

Sir Terry will be missed and Chris Evans, who will be replacing him, will have some pretty big shoes to fill. The queen is one avid listener who will miss Sir Terrys banter in the morning along with many of his other devoted followers.

The bus was donated to St Lukes Hospice and Bentley customised the interior of the bus to an impressive standard.

Bentley have been a long term supporter for the charity, and previous support has seen Bentley renovate some of the charities shops and gardens. St lukes appealed to Bentley with the restoration of this bus and by the look of it Bentley have pulled out all of the stops.

The bus restoration project involved 59 Bentley employees and the finished job is impressive. The team have tried to keep as many original features as possible and combined it with the classic Bentley look and feel.

Every inch of the bus has been well refurbished and has many of the quality finishing touches that you would find in a Bentley motor and much more.

Craftsmen from the Bentley work shop produced bespoke components for the bus have designed the interior in a way that will provide the St Lukes staff with a great base to reach out to the community which will in turn raise public awareness and increase funding.

There are some really nice features on the bus. One such feature is the bus ticket collection box, which Bentley has now changed which accepts donations towards the charity.

Its clear to see that the staff at Bentley have felt really passionate bout this project and it has been a labour of love for many of those involved. The end product is a stunning bus presented in the highest of standard.

Fame a fortune brings many things to your door. Things like fans and an iconic status are usually there not to mention the money and once these have been acquired one of the first things to do is go on a spending spree. Fast cars are usually first on the list of the rich and famous and David Beckham is no exception. Within his choice of top vehicles you will find such big names as Aston Martin, Bentley and Porsche. Being so well paid has enabled Beckham to choose some of the finest machines on the planet.

This blog will have a look at these three super machines and what make them so great.

Porsche 911
One of Beckhams earliest purchases and is an iconic car in its own right. The Porsche has been seen in such films as Bad Boys with Will Smith and Risky Business with Tom Cruise. The Porsche symbolized luxury and speed for many men people growing up since the 80s. The model Beckham owns is the 993 series and is considered by some as the ultimate 911. Porsche had been developing and re-inventing the 911 for almost 30 years before they came up with the 993 series.

Bentley Continental GT

This is a common choice between footballers in the premiership as these cars scream luxury. One of the larger cars on the list the Bentley is a machine that is enjoyed by footballers and businessmen alike. The cars offers a 6.0 litre W12 engine and the comfort that you would expect to find in a hotel room. A stylish and distinctive car that provides a top speed of 198mph mans that speed is not a sacrifice when looking for a four seated car.

Aston Martin DB7

A brand that is associated with the James bond films but a dream machine for many of men across the world. Coming as standard with a 6.0 litre V12 engine this machine sounds like a beast when the engine is running. The DB7 looks as stunning as it is desirable with typical Aston Martin features and design elements in all aspects of the car. The BD7 is a fine purchase for all of those who are lucky enough to be able to own one.

Beckham really has an eye for luxury machine and stylish cars. People take notice when he uses these cars and yiu can guarantee men will want them. If you are looking to get one of these luxury machines then why not try an Aston Martin Dealership or one of the UKs Bentley Dealers for a great choice.
