Well, you've hit 1MM since you typed this. Let me be the first to congratulate you here and tell you that I really, really enjoy your films. Because they are just that... films. High-quality, well-written films.
I find that when Carfection get to pick their own locations to shoot, they always find the best spots with connections to the car in question. Really makes each video top of its class, and this one is no exception
Carfection is the EVO magazine of car video shoots. Bloody marvellous pictography chaps!
So nice to see a car without the iPad stuck on top of the dash look. That it revolves to reveal old school gauges is even better!
Totally agree.
The ‘Tesla screen effect’ has pervaded almost everything now, much to my chagrin.
Some people are under the mistaken illusion that it substitutes for a nice dashboard. It does not. And it’s cheap.
If I was rich, I'd definitely buy this Bentley. Not because it's a good car or an executive one, it's because Carfection made a bloody good review + promotional video on this car. Amazing presentation and amazing cinematography! Kudos to the cinematography crew + editors and the presenter!!
Again, it's a bloody amazing car! I wished I was rich!
I wouldn't have it. They are not reliable, and Bentley wash their hands of their cars as soon as they are out of warranty...which would be ok if they were reliable, but they're not.....
@@BibtheBoulder Too true !!!!! Have experienced it myself . No further details.
@@rjkka7260 Indeed. I have since taken the plunge and opted for a Rolls Royce Ghost. So far so good.
@@BibtheBoulder baller, what do you do for a living?
@@merkerface Not a lot...push a few buttons and look out of the window....but it pays well.....
only true carfection fans know this video is re-uploaded
I thought that i saw this video before...
But why?
I could have sworn I have seen this great video with loads of history on this channel previously. Love every bit of the video still.
similar video to the Continental GT
Yes! They have been reuploading some videos but I don't know why 🤔
Yes I felt the same way. I saw this before too. I thought I was losing my mind.
Was going to comment that as well, I'm 99% sure this is a re-upload
@@dwade3202 no I don't think so, which video do you mean? I think this is a repost, especially if they mention the green paint and Barnato (haven't got that far yet).
Edit: yes, they did. It's a repost.
The bright lights of Henry Catchpole! Imagine a car programme with Henry, Chris Harris and Harrry Metcalfe!
I’m all for that. Perhaps Iian Tyrrell could come along to keep the cars in shape?
The golden triumvirate of automotive journalism!
What a brilliant review Henry - I had no idea of the historic links Bentley had with Mr. Barnatto which made your review extremely interesting and definitely one to savour. The cinematography was superlative too - very well done!
That was brilliant, what an appropriate setting. "Toblerone of wonder"... "Longer than a business lunch" Chapeau.
The cinematography is beautiful as always with Catchpole and amazed at how informative every review is. Bro, you’re simply Good.
Love how much works Henry put into every video. Always a treat. It’s these videos that you wait until you are home to watch its on the Tele instead of small mobile phone screen.
That’s so true yes.
I have watched it on my phone but I will save it to watch later on the big screen when I get home in a couple of days.
Thanks for mentioning the Bentley boys part of history, so many people are unaware of the people who saved these great brands so that is in the future could enjoy their cars!
The green leather interior should add an extra layer of calm to this car. What a lovely car!
I like the London at night backdrop. It's the kind of town where bands won't play no more.
I wasn't sure at first, but this is indeed a re-upload of a (great) review. Why?
One of the best presentations
This car has the reminiscence of the Daimler Sovereign as a kid I loved that car. And this car reminds me of that car.
My favorite limousine by far. The time od day this was filmed adds so much to the aesthetic of the video. Absolutely wonderful video.
‘Spinning toblerone of wonder’ Absolutely brilliant description Henry!
An enjoyable encounter with what is, for me, an economically unreachable height of automotive excellence! Well done, there. Even more delightful, though, is the bit of history, teased in the intro, and then delivered so sweetly at the conclusion. Bravo! Thanks to all who had a part in this!
Stunning. Great history lesson and wonderful cinematography. I never get tired of seeing London at night. Gosh I miss it.
Flawless video Henry thank you .
So nice to have Henry back. By far the best of the lot here.
Henry, I love the way you and the Carfection production team make London streets look as quiet and deserted as an episode of Captain Scarlet! :)
Filmed at 4am?
@@rickc2102 I think there's good chance! 😉
Benato. What an incredible man
Seeing the vintage Bentley going around the track @7:48 it makes the other cars look like toys, it's almost 3x the size!
Beautiful car …great photography and history thrown in …fabtastic 😎
I love the story you guys tell in this video!
The relatively poor secondary ride might have been alleviated somewhat with wheels an inch or two smaller and higher profile tires, I’d imagine 🤷♂️
Would also look better!
Might _have_ been alleviated, damnit! What are they teaching in schools these days?
@@SkepticalSteve01 duly noted and pardon my French, so to speak…I’m not from the UK.
@@DavidDatura Fair enough.
Car review, history lesson and cinematic experience. Just a joy!
Why do I feel that I have seen this video before? Is this an old video or they made a mistake?
Definitely a re-upload
@@NoxOpal yeah they did. The old one is unlisted now
Thank you. The sense of deja vu was driving me crazy, yet nobody else seems to be mentioning that in the comments.
Exactly what I was thinking....I've 100% seen this before, but its been removed from previously uploaded... weird
love the history lesson, the look of the video, and the car...well done
It really doesn't get much better when it comes to UA-cam car vids produced by Carfection.
Good one, Henry. A story beautifully told, ably enhanced by some excellent camera work.
A green Bentley is an automotive wonder!!
What a wonderful film and beautiful cinematography of a gorgeous piece of automotive design.
Congrats for the video production 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 such quality video
Chefs kiss good sir. Lovely presentation.
My goodness that's a handsome car. It's like the Henry Cavill of the motoring world.
Brilliant vid. Thanks.
You guys are killing it at this game! What a great video.
So I was proud to have Barnato Green on my Brooklands, but I have learnt more in the last eight minutes about Barnato than I did in my two years of ownership! Thank you.
Ur voice and your videos are so relaxing Im so happy that I discovered your UA-cam channel.
Very nice video, as always ❤️👍
I know there are other presenters on Carfection but Mr Catchpole just does it so much better. I know it's not possible but I really think the channel would be over one million subscribers if he was able to do more.
Damn right, so much better now that they put his name with the content that he does, see his name, press play. :)
just a lovely video, watched this while smoking a pipe and enjoying batch brew coffee, just a perfect 10min during my sunny saturday afternoon, thx carfection!
This was a perfect tribute to the mark. Thank you.
Love the historical take...Thank you :)
great vid thanks for sharing
Thanks for the history lesson really enjoyed the video 😀
Everything here is a masterpiece.
Beautiful cinematography.
Sublime, Car reviewing at its very very best
A very appealing car delivered with a superb video, finished off with some history - classy.
Best looking car I've seen in a long time
Gorgeous Machine !
Just stunning locations and good presentation too.
This review is perfection.
Beautifully filmed video, like a big budget Top Gear tribute. That's my lottery winnings car... I don't mind some of the options, but £6k to have adaptive cruise control that my 4yo Golf had standard would stick in my craw a bit!!
1M subs, congratulations!!
The Car is a True Bentley...... The Production was pure Attenborough .... :-))
The vid perfectly captures the feel of the car
Why is Carfection reposting it's own content... First the Rolls Royce Phantom, now the Bentley Flying Spur
Exactly??? I want more of Henry's on new cars not repeats like on TV 😂
I knew it was a re post. Idk why they did that.
Phew! Im not going crazy, I just posted that I thought I’d seen this before but wondered if I was going crazy. Thank you!!!
Excellent honest review and great to get a bit of a history lesson as well!
Class. Car and presentation!
This video - its script, its cinematography, its presentation, its research and its execution - is simply outstanding.
It feels like cheating to have this kind of content for free.
Looks wise it would seem they blended the old Flying Spur and the last Mulsanne made. Very nice motor. The Seaquin Blue colour looks amazing with the Azure styling configuration. I don't know if the 2023 V-6 hybrid would sell well, and worth buying over the V-8. Time will tell on that. But a nice review and reminder of the Bentley history. Well done chaps.....
Brilliant review Harry
There is something about mixing nerds and cars that make you appreciate both even more. 😊💙
Amazing piece by Carfection here. They are the new Top Gear IMO.
What a super film. I was thinking what a superbly filmed video this was, when Henry then smoothly turns it into a wonderful little documentary on Woolf "Babe" Barnato, and all those locations that wafted by become relevant. Excellent work all round!
Btw, according to the Bank of England's website 'inflation calculator', that £100k investment into Bentley in 1926 would be the equivalent of £6,503,783.78 in today's money...
Another wonderful car that I can't afford.
Awesome video!
Fabulous.
Beautiful car and a lovely tribute. Well done!
Deja vu!!! I have seen this video way back
Wonderful
Spinning Toblerone of Wonder! New band name, called it!
I always think Bentleys are the choice of the established criminal. So you starting your sequence down the docklands with royalty of the criminal underworld seemed fitting 😉
Bentley has really started making some beautiful cars lately. This is a beautiful and elegant car.
The Perfect Sedan ✨❤️
Nice :D. This is probably the driver's choice in the range, being lighter/more agile than the big W12 variant :).
I feel like I've watched this before. Great non the less.
Great video - visually. But someone should have applied a high/mid pass filter to the audio of Henry's commentary inside the car. My guess is the mics were mounted to "hard" points in the car and were transmitting the vibrations into the audio feed. Otherwise - jolly good! Carry on!
That color sure looks interesting! Would´ve loved to get shot of it at daylight or at a gasstation.
But other than that beautiful video as always! 👌
Review is top quality
What a pretty car.
Very cool
Nice video
Imagine if Bentley made an estate (station wagon) version of the Flying Spur. Perfect car for big rich families.
My Dream Car❤️
Two Things. The ride. I really think the issue you mention is more to do with the wheel size. I would go size or two down and I bet that would sort the ride out. The other, more serious thing with this car is the tiny glasshouse. Its like your driving a countach. Tiny side windows massive A and B pillars. I wish they had made the side windows bigger, it gives a much better less claustrophobic view .
FS is easily my favourite Bentley.
It looks like they had to film this at 2:30 in the morning just to get the least amount of traffic
Why am I getting a strong dose of déjà vue?
Catchpole is Carfection
This is the coolest limo👍 i f i had the cash would buy it immediatelly
I'd have thought the secondary ride issues might be at least partly resolved by not speccing 22 inch wheels, you can opt for 20s or 21s. You don't see the wheels when you're wafting along in supreme comfort, and when you have Bentley levels of wealth you don't give a monkeys what anyone thinks of your choice of wheel design.
A lot of modern car design has to use things like wheels to make the car look better because governments have regulated the auto industry into a glorified government design bureaus.
Honestly I’d take the 22’s. People are different I guess. For me I’d rather have the 22. Not to appeal for people but for myself. I like to look at my cars and just smile every time I approach it. I love the wheel 🛞 to body ratio in any car. I don’t want the wheel to look small when the car is massive.
I’m so used to sound, I like to feel attached to the road I’m driving. I mean I can drive like chauffeur and make cars that aren’t wofty feel wofty.
Where is the place located in minute 4:56 in London?
Verde è meravigliosa. 🇮🇹👍
What's the city was filmed?:)
