Continental Drift

Bentley presents a set of unique driving tours for its customers.


Luxury car manufacturer Bentley has decided to give its customers a rare opportunity to drive their Continental GTs over some great routes in UK, France and Italy.

Three tours have been arranged, the first of which is the Secret Britain tour, which begins in London, treats the customers to dining, hospitality, and shopping there, before moving to the Cotswolds and finally concluding at Bentley's Headquarters in Crewe. Main attractions include private lunch in the Bentley Room at Mosimann's restaurant on the first day, and another one at Bentley Mews on the last day.

Second is the Guest of Chanel tour. Driving through France, enjoying private dinners at Chateau de Chenonceau and the fashion company's headquarters overlooking Place Vendome, as well as spending an evening as guests at Coco Chanel's private apartment in Paris is what the tour is all about.

The third tour is called Italian Legend. This five day tour is said to be inspired by the 1,000 mile 'Mille Miglia' road race that Sir Stirling Moss won in 1955. The tour includes driving on sections that were part of the iconic race, private tours of Sistine Chapel and The Coliseum, and stop-overs at some fine hotels.

Anything else?
For all those who want to get inspired by such trips and embark on their own journey, Bentley has introduced a new series of videos called Luxury of Spontaneity. It shows drives in America, Oman, Australia, Malaysia, Scotland, Canada, and the islands of Mallorca. A few of the documentaries are available online now while the rest will be released later this year.
