Bet nobody ever gets to find out

Thought it looked well tasty though, in a tank-like sort of way.

But 5 million for a Bentley? Surely she could have batted them down to 4.5 mill and left room for a few mods...??

It doesn't weigh almost 7 tonnes Bentley claim just over 3 tonnes, which would give it a PWR of around 130bhp/tonne, which isn't a lot lower than the new WRX it also has almost 700lb/ft of torque though so in a straight line, there probably wouldn't be much in it!

I heard she specifically requested a "pumpin' stereo" and "mental sized alloys".

Perhaps she's more in tune with the public than we first thought?!

Wifes uncle works for an undertaker and drives around in one of those big black jobs. Reckons 0-60 is about 7 secs. Not bad. Got watch the coffin dont slide out the back though I suppose.

No number plates and no tax. Smart motor though, fit for a Queen.
