i think it depends on which bentley and which rolls...both have cars that can be driven or are meant to be driven in.
that said, Rolls Royce for me (4 door phantom)

Mercedes-Benz 600.Originally Posted by LabelKing
While the MB S600 can definately be expensive, I've never really considered it in the same company as say Bentley or Rolls....this is the reason the modern day Maybach was created.
If given the choice, it would be difficult for me to decide between the Rolls Drophead or the Brooklands.

Not the modern S600, but the old Grosser 600 model:

My choice would run to either the old 600 or even the old 300. There were some very nice models with removable tops.

The Tenenbaum family uses a red, late 60s 600 at Royal's funeral. I can't find a picture.Originally Posted by Brad
Yes, I remember the 600 at the end. Eli Cash drives that Austin Healey.

The 300D, the so-called Adenauer, is another very nice limousine type of vehicle.

RR vs Bentley is altogether too broad. You might as well ask, Russia vs. America? Russia vs. America, you ask? Well, do you mean Czarist Russia vs. Dot-Com era USA? Or perhaps Stalinist Russia vs. 1970s "Me-Generation" USA? Or my personal favorite, Yeltsin-era Russia vs. post-colonial USA.
Narrow your terms.
I choose to narrow mine thusly: a 1929, 4.5 liter "blower" Bentley:

Shortly after this car was built RR acquired Bentley, and it was downhill for the next 70+ years. Certainly Bentleys were built afterwards that had a great deal of charm and elan, however they were still RR in their guts. Indeed, I remember scrambling around New England trying to trace down a pair of Bentley logo'd valve covers to replace the RR valve covers that were improperly used in a 1964 S3. A spectacular car, by the way, that would go on to win second best in show at a RR Owner's Club meet.
