Spotted this Bentley Continental Flying Spur outside Kalpathi Investments in Thirumalai Pillai Road, T.Nagar today afternoon.

That's a CFS Speed.
Nice rims,nice color!

Sweet pics. It looks very elegant! And it's a very unique colour too.

Bentley looks great!

I'd choose it over the rolls in a heartbeat!

Was browsing thru TBHP & made the last post an hour ago while my mom wanted me to go out & get some coconuts. While I cribbed and left home, I came back with a huge smile and thanked my mom when i returned.

Reason : Spotted a second Bentley Continental Flying Spur for the day in my neighborhood (T.Nagar).

I am myself still not convinced that I happened to see two different Bentleys in a span of 4 hours in my locality. But got to believe it bcoz of the different registration numbers and the wheels.

Great Sunday!

Er, How did you come to a conclusion that it is the Speed variant ? These rims are optional on the CFS and Speed get the Multi spoke ones.

@rubicon - Nice Catch(CFS's). And the Harley, Well. Im' not that Arab tasted as you think I'am

Give me the Nightrod, V-Rod or Fatboy anyday. And the Chemmanur stickers, a big headed -

Lucky you! And what a coincidence, they are both of the same colour too!

Surprised I was,when I went to church this evening-parked in the lot-a spanking new Hummer H3.Was late,so decided to take pics after the service,mistake.
Later found out,it belongs to the same music director who owns the BMW 650i.Sorry for the poor quality pics.
IMHO the rims look outta place.

Also spotted a red GTO at Sparkys this afternoon-cudn't take a pic though.

Rims are way out of place plus, what is with the Chrome step bar there ?

I thought Yuvan had a great taste.

I don't think they are the ones that are standard on the H3, those are more compact and Well-Placed.

The new Teana looks really cool, especially the front, but i couldn't take a pic of it as the car was moving out. The Times Auto/Accessory Expo was ok. Time for a supercar show in Chennai, say what?. I'll be glad to offer my assistance so if anyone is taking the initiative please PM me. Let's all put some effort and make it happen?!.

Sivasankar · 21st February 2010, 21:12

@Ayan, how do you make out between a CFS Speed and the base model? I know that the CFS has multi-spoke alloys, is there a different air intake?

@Scorcher - The music director in question here is Harris Jeyaraj, he has a grey 6 series convertible...

PS - the 760 and A8 W12 I posted earlier also belong to the Kalpathis...

Oh, thanks for the info mate. I thought it must be Yuvan since he had a 650i coupe.

Thanks again.

Sivasankar · 21st February 2010, 21:26

@Scorcher - anytime!!!

Yes,the front air dam in the Speed versions are much wider than on the standard cars.The PY registered CFS is also a Speed.

Now compare the front bumpers in the following pics!
