Bentley is the sort of company that can’t really update its products often so they need to be very careful about their presences at motor shows.

The British at Rolls Royce may have a lesson for us on how to spend their money. They already know how to spend the serious cash they’re going to get from selling the 1926 Rolls Royce Phantom 10EX. A prized prototype of substantial value will make a new owner very happy to have such a
