Bentley Continental:

Bentley recalling 13,000 vehicles

Catalogated as one of the finest manufacturers in the world, Bentley showed us that even the biggest companies make mistakes. The British manufacturer owned by Volkswagen announced that it is recalling 13,000 vehicles in order to remediate a defection found at the fuel filter and caused by the road salt. According to Bentley, the defection affects all the Continental series built between 2004 and 2008. Although it sounds silly to recall the vehicles the manufacturer added that if not repaired the defection could cause a fuel leak and maybe a fire...

Mike Tyson’s Continental SC for sale

Even if you like boxing or not, for sure you know who Mike Tyson is. What you might not know is that he owned a 1999 Bentley Continental SC, a model limited to only 73 units. When new, the car was priced at more than £250,000.

Mike Tyson is one of the world’s most controversial sportsman of all time famed for making headlines out of the ring as much as inside. Twice world heavyweight champion of the world, Tyson was worth more than £150 million at one stage, but was declared bankrupt in 2003.

The 41-year old hit the headlines recently after claims he’s going to step back into the ring in a bout against fellow veteran Evander Holyfield – whose ear he famously bit in a 1997 fight. And for a man who had a tiger for a pet, you’d expect him to have a flash car collection – so step forward his old Bentley Continental SC.

The Continental SC is powered by a 6.75-litre V8 engine that delivers 420bhp and 590lb/ft and was the most powerful Bentley ever at the time and accelerated from 0-60mph in six seconds and on to a top speed of 155mph.

The Mike Tyson’s old Bentley is available for £135,000.
