Default Bentley 4 door GT - sneak pics

the white 4 doors (mocked up to look like mercs) are to be the new stabemate of the continental GT (pictured red in the middle of them )

I thought the same, some very Rover 75-esque features, the side line being the most obvious!

but just 2 others - they were in front and behind to stop any happy snappers - there were 2 teams, the other team did have a proper merc up front

the back rover75"esqe" number plate surrounds ARE actually rover 75 ones that have literally been stuck on - all the rubbing lines around the bumpers etc are literallly drawn on

Couldnt have put it better myself! You are a crack up mate!

Saw a prototype rolls a few years back in Shropshire all blacked out and taped in various places. Instantly recognised the lines though from previous models

My mate was in Autoexpress spy shots testing a Micra CC in Spain

The disguises at Nissan were a lot less adventurous, just random padding with masking tape all over!!

I live about 2 mile from Gaydon, where they build and Road test all the new Aston Martin's. You see some VERY weird and wonderful shaped cars coming out of there

trouble is - with a car that looks like that, it is SO obviosly a prototypre - these boys at least make it look something like other blander stuff so it doesnt stick out like a sore thumb, the other reason they cant just stick bits of passing on etc, is that they do do Vmax tests and high speed stability tests - a bit of mdf stuck on with double sided sticky tape would be no good at just shy of 200mph
