Indeed. Took the family out in mine recently having forgotten it was a four seater! If you don't need four seats then downsizing to a two seater could make more sense than a 2+2.

And that’s a big point…I would so love a Vantage but as family of 4 it just wouldn’t get used where as a GT S or QP GTS would make more sense until the boys fly the nest.

So what should I look at if I don't buy a Strad after the Continental?

C

I Don’t want to upset the Stradale owners as I think it is fantastic and so want one but isn’t you Bentley a quicker car and sounds great so would the Stradale not feel a big enough difference to what you have.

Yes it is quicker, but it doesn't feel it. And it sounds a LOT better from outside (double glazed). I love it, lots but at some point I'll be looking for something else. V12 is what I've not had.

Or an Aston.

Great choice if you have deep pockets.

I rather suspect my pockets will never be that deep. Nor am I sure I want a Ferrari. Which is odd.

It's a way in the future yet though, so maybe a Giulia GTA :lol:

I know the V12V has rarity factor, but... Lotus Emira?

The price point and performance is pretty close. The Emira is a good looking car and more modern etc. Thoughts?

(I have owned a V8V before and it was a good car, but I'm a lot more into the Exige V6, it's fun just driving to the end of the road).

I love it….Not many around in the colour either. This car was for sale for 79995 at a BMW specialist three weeks ago. It is now 89995 now at Dick Lovett.
That's crazy.
I expect it'll cool off over winter.
Serious question, if I have £70k or so, what options are more appealing that the Emira?
