The iconic W12 is retiring just as a new type of Bentley arrives - our editor drives a Flying Spur to Scotland for a taste
"First, what do you think?” asks Kirsteen Campbell, creator of the new Bentley as I approach her with a few questions about her latest work. This isn’t after getting out of the Flying Spur Speed Edition 12 that I had spent the day driving – one of the very last W12-powered Bentleys to leave the Crewe factory line as the famous old engine fast approaches retirement – but after having a taste of the latest Bentley.
Driving done and “lovely” is what I can muster in response to Campbell’s opening question, repeated again with a few more superlatives thrown in too – words that could indeed also be used to describe my time in the Flying Spur. It was, though. Very nice indeed. Did it taste like a Bentley? There’s certainly wood and leather in there, but I’ll stop there, lest I come across all Alan Partridge and make the writers at whisky magazines wince.
