I know these have been on a lot of sites, but these are the best photos I have seen of them.

Apparently there is a place local to me with a similar amount of serious cars stashed in a hanger,well known local fact, would love to visit.

Wow :o

Why :shock:

I would have someone follow me, so I could drive one to Tesco and another one back home. And I would go for my shopping one item at a time. Still, I've got another lucky dip for Wednesday. You never know.

If my lucky dip comes up, you can have it for 6 weeks every summer. :lol:

Was coveting these till i saw what had happened to the Khamsin's dash! Other interiors look wonderful though.

Anyone know what the story is here?

They look nice but don't get too excited! All those cars will need some serious recomissioning to get them back on the road. You can buy a good Bentley Turbo R from about £10,000 and you could easily spend that to get one going after a long lay up. The braking system alone can run to over £5,000 for an overhaul.

I just found that the Turbo R has done less than 1,000 miles and also the Mulsanne Turbo R has under 1,000 miles on it. That changes things a bit, but the auction has now taken place. It will be interesting to see what they went for.
