Rolls & Bentley go to Paris
Rags To Riches
Its not often that you get asked to drive and be responsible for one of life's finer cars, one being the barely launched at the time Rolls Royce Drophead, the other the revamped Bentley Azure. I was truly honoured to be requested for this job.
Off to Paris we went. My task to drive the car Mike Duff features editor for Autocar wasn't appraising and assist ace photographer Jamie Lipman in the many panning, tracking and static shots, and safely navigate over £600,000 worth of cars through Paris's frantic streets, at night for the purposes of the comparison.
A truly magical two days. And the Drophead still remains firmly at the top of my fantasy garage list.
See me pictured below.
