Custom Bentleys and Rolls Royces

[Jonny Flash]

Did anyone read that article in Top Gear Magazine ages ago about that Billionaire who kept Bentley and Rolls Royce afloat by ordering loads of custom cars?

Apparently, from what i remember of the article, he contributed to half of Bentley's entire profits for that year!

He ordered custom-made cars which had to be unique, eg. he had a Bentley 4x4, Bentley estate, Rolls Royce MPV, RR 4x4 etc.... ie, things you can't buy on the market.

Has anyone got any pictures of these? That ARE NOT chops!!!!

I might still have that issue. I'll hunt through the piles...

That site so nealy made me cry, literally 5,000+ supercars, concepts and custom built classic astonishing cars, 50 cars from rolls a year! Why? they get bored so they buy 8 mclaren F1's, not mentioning all the supercars in his 4 warehouses collecting dust, what a sad story. I not far away from tears running down my face.

thanks for the help guys! I love the idea of owning 4 warehouses of the worlds rarest and most expensive cars.

If i owned them, they would NOT be collecting dust! i'd be so rich that i would be able to just build a race track and get my friends round for races! how awesome would that be!

My favourite would be the BMW M6 (Attacted!). I always wondered if i could purchase the prototype Z9 from BMW. How amazing would that be! It would be nice to own the only model of a car in the world, to know that NO-ONE in the world owns the same car as you!

A man can dream........

i absolutely agree. That guy is lucky..but it realy does make me sick; all those amazing cars locked away under a roof, many never to taste new petrol ever again, thats not even for display purposes, its just sheer greed. Typical eastern attitude, I hope he feels guilty, thats selfish and unthoughtful. Disrespectful to us car lovers. but as the saying goes: " A man with everything will always want more "
