Could This 1997 Bentley Brooklands Let You See How The Other Half Lives? - Jalopnik

Jalopnik tests the cost of owning a classic British luxury sedan by putting a 1997 Bentley Brooklands through its “Nice Price or No Dice” format. The article contrasts it with an earlier 2001 Audi A4 Quattro Avant that was rejected after a 73% “No Dice” vote due to concerns about future wear-and-tear costs. The Brooklands is positioned as a grand tourer: produced for five years (1993–1998), named after the Brooklands circuit near Surrey, England, and tied to the track’s racing heritage, including its first banked oval raceway status opened in 1907. The piece describes the model as closely related to the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit and notes it shares a Rolls 6.75-liter OHV V8 engine. It also says power rose to 300 hp with a light-pressure turbo introduced in 1996.
