As if the Pearl 60 yacht wasn’t luxurious and desirable enough, Pearl Motor Yachts has teamed with Bentley and is offering a free Bentley GT Continental Coupe with purchase of the Pearl 60.

“Bentley and Pearl have been working together for a while now, as the brands complement each other so well,” Pearl’s managing director Iain Smallridge said.

“Both offer exceptional British craftsmanship and bespoke finishes, so no two models are the same.”

Bulgaria has recently entered the European Union and Brussels has put some pressure on the country’s officials to fight harder against the corruption and organized crime.

Therefore, the Bulgarian revenue agency said it will strongly investigate the sources of income of the Bentley owners, suspected to be mafia bosses.

There are 105 Bentley owners in Bulgaria, which is very high compared to other European countries.

Bentley Motors released a teaser video and image of a new flagship sedan it plans to unveil later summer, possibly at Pebble Beach in August.

Known unofficially as the “Grand Bentley,” the car will be “positioned at the very pinnacle of the market — representing the height of British luxury motoring,” the company said.

This vehicle will replace the Bentley Arnage at the top of their line-up and is designed to be “exceptional in all respects on the road.”

In the market for a Bentley sports car, a Jean Paul Gaultier dress or a cell phone, but don’t feel like dealing with a pesky salesperson?

Literally at the touch of a button, visitors to the Mondrian South Beach can buy those items — as well as more prosaic hotel gift-shop staples like toothbrushes — from a new lobby vending machine called a Semi-Automatic.

A Lebanese property developer living in England has paid 352,411 pounds (US$509,768) for license plate number “1D”, a new record in the world of collectible British license plates.

At an auction held by the DVLA, the agency which regulates British vehicle registration, the highly-coveted plate sold for a total of 285,000 pounds, but fees and taxes added nearly 70,000 pounds to the winning bid.

The winning bidder bought the plate as a birthday present for his wife and will affix it to her Bentley. After taxes and fees, it ranks as the second most expensive plate sold after “F 1″ went for 440,625 pounds last year.

The Queen of England is having her two $14 million bespoke Bentley limousines converted to run on biofuels, the London Daily Mail reports.

This is part of a move by the British luxury car-maker to become more environmentally friendly - and a new biofuel-burning high-performance car is expected in the New Year.
