Summary
Bentley’s inspection of YouTuber Mat Armstrong’s rebuilt Continental GT uncovered more than 100 faults during what he expected to be a routine “proper” service.
A cracked engine mount stood out because it left the car’s W12 engine sitting at an angle, a problem Bentley warned could affect alignment and potentially safety.
Armstrong had bought the first-generation Continental GT for $13,396 and spent months restoring it, but lingering doubts about how well it was running prompted the dealer check.
Despite the long repair list and likely high maintenance costs, he still planned to fix the car and continue an ambitious road trip to Monaco.
