My cousins grand father drives a Bently continental GT, and they let her boy friend take it for a drive. Next time I'm going to ask if they'll give me the keys

They used to place a full glass of water, over-miniscus, (ie, above the glass brim) on the engine block, if it spilled when the motor was started, it went in a bentley.
You wont see that quality control now......
They are a damn fine looking car, any model.

Sounds like a myth. Cars today are so much better engineered than just 20 years ago, nevermind 60 years ago.
Maybe, but the source was quite direct-a person i know's grandfather was the engineer, went into the royal engineers during the war. Quality only really dropped off when resources went to producing merlins for the RAF, but i might have got it wrong, maybe it was on the bonnet, that seems more plausable.
Also, you have to remember these motors were handmade by rabid perfectionist engine geeks; they signed there names on them..... i know someone who breifly owned a 1932 (i think it was 1932 model) bentley, in the 1950's so it was an old car then-he said if it wasnt for the noise, (which was minimal for the time) you couldn't tell the car was even running, smooth as silk.
Of course, that has nothing to do with aston martins being a damn sexy car.
