A Chrysler Sebring-Based Bentley Replica

Here�s a scary admission for you: I actually don�t mind the first generation Chrysler Sebring. It was sort of �Mustang-lite� in the styling department and is still a lot better looking than the latest incarnation of America�s middle-age spread, the almost universally despised third generation Sebring. And, as you no doubt know by now, we love us some eBay-found Euro reskins of fifteen plus year old American cars.

Today�s entrant is this, dare I say it, rather convincing replica of a 2009 Bentley Continental GT convertible or GTC based on a �96 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. Fashioned in ghetto / Saudi Arabian sheik white with the typical, so-not-a-Bentley blinger rims that�d make even Lil� Jon a lil ill, our wanna-B (you see what I did there?) comes complete with 175,000 miles on the clock and a full fibreglass body.
Before it leaves the seller�s hands, he or she claims to be fitting new carpet, a new windscreen, new door mirrors and a custom dual exhaust with genuine Bentley tips. All the buyer needs to do, we are told, is reupholster the seats, install a Bentley dash and centre console and fit a new convertible top, a new sound system and a sat nav system. And et voil�, your very own Bentley - sort of.
You have to admit, US$21,100 (�16,302) isn�t half bad for something that looks this good. You could get a �96 Sebring for a lot less, but who wants one of those? You certainly can�t pick up a second-hand Bentley for this sort of money, that�s for sure. So, what�s the verdict? Would you or wouldn�t you? Let us know in the comments.
