The Bentley Bacalar and Continental GT Speed are no longer available to buy new but we have good news. Not only both cars are still available but cost a fraction of the original asking price. There’s a catch though; they are in a 1:43 scale. That’s right. They are die-cast collectibles. While small, as a boon, you get to be up close to observe the wonderfully detailed and painted miniatures like Gulliver and you have not one both of them in your living. Official words:
Bentley Continental GT Speed 1:43 Collectible
“The gentlemanly curves and grunt of the Continental GT Speed are mirrored in miniature, with striking Candy Red paintwork elevating the dark tint detailing that is provided by the gloss, carbon fibre Styling Specification. Inside, the sporty Hotspur interior trim is complete with custom Speed embroidery and diamond quilting design that has been added to the leather.”
Bentley Bacalar 1:43 Collectible
“The £1.8 million Bacalar is not only more affordable in miniature form but a rare chance to get somewhat close to the real thing, with the 12 full-size original cars already sold. The Yellow Flame exterior of this bespoke barchetta pays homage to the revolutionary sustainable ‘colourstream’ paint that was specially developed to emphasise the form and contours of the full-scale Bacalar. Satin Bronze brightware further intensifies this dramatic character, be it on the road and in the garage, or on the shelf and driven over carpet. A wraparound cockpit blends the interior and exterior design together, seen on this model with a sophisticated Grey Tweed and Beluga cabin colour scheme.”
Both models are presented in chic Bentley boxes and sell for 100 quid each (about US$121 today). If you are down, you may pick up the Bentley Bacalar and Continental GT Speed Die-cast Models from shop.bentleymotors.com as we speak.
