Wondering how to restore a classic car the right way? These tips from bonafide experts and enthusiast vehicle restorers will help you along your journey.

Bentley Motors, Britain's newly awarded "Most Admired Automotive Manufacturer," has been delivering high-class vehicles to the masses for decades. Starting in 2024, however, England's premier luxury marquee is pivoting away from what has made them famous: their W-12 engines. Instead, all full-petrol vehicles will be replaced by plug-in hybrids, such as the Flying Spur Hybrid, and Bentley EVS.

Available with 56 billion potential bespoke configurations, the latest Bentley Continental GT has quickly become one of the best import cars for the money. In all its iterative glory—its lineup includes the classic GT, Speed, Mulliner, S and Azure models—Bentley's Continental GT is a bonafide stud, delivering one of the most dynamic and luxurious rides in the entire class. It's also an award magnet, earning annual prizes up the wazoo.  

Just this year, for instance, the new Continental GT received two of the luxury automotive industry's coveted prizes.

Famous A-listers know how to live life to the fullest, and that life always includes a high-end, super-luxurious vehicle. While it's true that everyone has their own preferences, there's something to be said about celebrities' seemingly natural draw to Bentley. (Even Rolling Stone has proof that celebs adore the iconic Flying B emblem!)

From South Florida hip-hop moguls to LA-based Oscar-nominated actors to superstar athletes, the British automaker's fanbase runs the gamut. Here are a few of the more notable celebs who drive Bentley vehicles.

Officially the most powerful Bentley to ever see the light of day, the Batur W12 Grand Tourer has set off on its maiden voyage across Europe. Over the course of the next year and change (58 weeks), the royal purple Bentley Batur will be put to the test—or, more specifically, 120 separate tests—to ensure it meets Bentley's highest standards.

Will it succeed? After spending 2 years developing the vehicle's powertrain, Bentley has no doubt in Batur's ability to be the ultimate GT.

When it comes to buying the perfect gift for someone who lives life to the fullest, sometimes the price is of no concern. Laying down a grand on wireless headphones for an audiophile? Done. Sending your personal assistant halfway across the country to cop a rare pair of sneakers? Not a problem. Procuring a vintage 1820 Juglar Cuvée for you and your beau to pop open on New Year's Eve? Sold.

Picking a good, honest mechanic or service center can be difficult. Do you trust the repair shop near you, the one with just a handful of online reviews and good word of mouth? Do you go with a big chain store for your auto parts? Do you bring your car into the dealership’s service department and call it a day?

Minimize the stress associated with getting your car repaired. Here are a few signs that a mechanic may be trying to scam you.

When it comes to absolute sheer depth of customization, Bentley motorcars have long since been the most bespoke—in fact, it’s one of the main things they’re known for, rivaled in its luxury segment, perhaps, only by its fraternal twin, Rolls Royce.

In fact, some folks might even find the sheer level of customization intimidating.
