Budget Bentley's W12 Endurance Test

A YouTuber buys Europe’s cheapest Bentley Flying Spur for $12,500 with 160k miles and documents a lengthy restoration: fixed sunroof leaks, dried mold, and rerouted issues, only to face constant overheating. Investigations reveal a swollen coolant tank, a missing thermostat, bent cylinder-head bolts from heat, and a blocked radiator; after replacing the radiator, bolts, thermostat, and coolant tank, the W12 runs again, albeit in limp mode due to a faulty turbo boost solenoid. The project now totals around $16k and many hours, but proves the W12 is surprisingly robust even after years of abuse.
