Haven't been able to post. This is pasted from a post I attempted to send
earlier.

Could be interested iun a Bentley, but there's something more interesting
that may be available in the next few months.
Regards to all,

Pasted stuff from weeks ago:

Went to Marranello on Monday. The stock had changed from earlier in the
week, with only two 456s on sale. Both were in the ?120K and upwards
bracket, so way outside my budget. Didn't bother asking for a test drive
as  I had no intention of buying, and hate time wasters.
The interior is far better on the 456M. A salesman told me that they
would not consider selling anything pre 'M'. Part exchange allowance for a
1997/17,000 mile example: are you sitting down?  Not much more than
?30K.

The drive to Egham didn't do anything to boost my waining appreciation
of the car. Too much road noise-as much as a Porsche 928: if any of you
have driven one, you'll know what I mean. Performance still nothing to write
home about, not helped by the auto 'box, which became progressively more
violent  as it heated-up.
On the way home, a stone flew across the carriageway and struck the
windscreen like a rifle bullet. A costly repair yesterday...
I'd seen enough. Yesterday, the car was delivered back to the vendor;
not before an unscheduled stop to investigate a burning smell from under the
bonnet.
As I shook hands with my friend and handed over the key, the Ferrari
badge fell off the key ring.

I wonder if fate was trying to tell me something?

Bently Turbo RT, anyone?
