I love Bentlys and Rollers. Sure, there are a few that I wouldn't vote above "Meh" for, but the vast majority of them are at least "Cool" in my book. The R-Type Continental is one of the coolest cars to ever wear the Bentley badge, only behind the W.O. "Blower" racecars (Although I also have quite the soft spot for the Turbo Rs of the 80s and 90s, which I'll be putting here on the wall eventually). This is an SZ for sure.
