Why all the negative comment. With petrol at 10mpg or less it’s the obvious way to go.

Great video, actually I think the conversion is genius, the mechanics of an old 'gal like the Bentley would be prohibitive to put right,instead of the car sat rotting away in a garage or worse ending up in a scrap yard, this way the car has a new lease of life, all credit to Silent Classics👍

Dear Silent Classics - please ignore the usual nay sayers. You are doing a great job extending the lives of these beautiful cars.

So cool. Unrestored is so much nicer than something shiney - I've done many (motorcycles) in the past, but am always on the look-out for unrestored vehicles.
@russbringhurst99723 ай бұрын
Am I correct in assuming that changing this Bentley to fully electric, eliminates all fiddling mechanical issues that these old Bentleys, Jaguars, etc are so famous for? Also, could you share what a conversion costs?

Fiddling mechanical issues with RR and Bentley? Crap.

If you haventgoogled for the firm behind this video then i suggest the landrover/classic EV conversion scene would give you prices….the answer to you question is broadly yes

Luxury and EV is the perfect combo. Effortless silent progress should be the goal. Great conversion 👍

That may not be possible very few want to do a conversion best to focus on those with a engine beyond repair.

That’s a bit sad committing such an act of bastardisation to an old classic . A restored original engine and driveline and a coat of paint , it probably would have brung mega dollars, now it’s just some non original old car with an electric conversion probably worth peanuts.
@bobmarshall37003 ай бұрын
A crime that somebody allowed a Bentley to get into that condition. And then there's this narrator who obviously wishes he was American, using words like "hood" instead of bonnet, "gauges" instead of instruments, etc. Bentleys should never have a "rat" look. This is American tripe!

You miss the point of a car like this. It's for a gentle amble through the english countryside not a 'mine's bigger than yours' at the traffic lights. When this stupid ev nonsense ends and, it will end, we can go back to sensibility. Electric cars are not 'green'

Thank heavens that dreadfull music drowned out all you were saying ,presumably on how you tortured and and eventually ripped that poor old Bentley's heart out , before electrocuting it . Mindless sheep comes to mind .
