New GTC Arrives

In December I posted that we were ordering a GTC. It arrived the end of March but I just took some pictures and I've been around here long enough to know that if there are no pictures then it may not have happened. We had an '08 GTC that we traded a few years ago so now getting back into the Bentley. Due to the lapse in time since our previous one, it is difficult to compare but it sure seems like Bentley has drastically improved the car. Hope you enjoy the attached pictures.

The build is as follows:
The exterior is Thunder.
Main Hide - Portland
SecondaryHide - Brunel
Seat Outer and Headrest - Brunel
Veneer - Burr Walnut

Well when you jump back in you go all the way don't you? I must say you do know how to spec a car. Just in case that was not clear let me add that is a gorgeous piece of car art.

All the design credit goes to my wife. It is "her" car and I only participated in some of the option choices. I can get a little carried away when it comes to options.

Absolutely. I know of no other luxury car with such great lines.

We both really love the car. My wife has been smiling since the car arrived and we all know - Happy Wife, Happy Life.

hi imcarnuts

The MY13.5 W12 car comes with 6 speed or 8 speed transmission?
My dealer told me my build will come with some minor changes. I could not find any except the transmission and my local price rise around USD13,000.00........
