Bentley calls the Flying Spur line the Pinnacle of Luxury but you won’t find this in Bentley showrooms. You probably won’t find it at your local big box hardware store either. Maybe at the boutique hardware store in Beverly Hills. What am I talking about? This is a 2005 Bentley Continental Flying Spur W12 pickup…I know, it was hard for me to type that out. Here’s the ad:
