Buy or hire the R Type if...
A 1950s Bentley saloon kept today as a collector's classic rather than a daily driver. Coachbuilt examples with bodies by houses like H.J. Mulliner command the most interest and are typically kept in specialist covered storage.

Buy or hire the Urus if...
Lamborghini's first SUV and, by volume, its best-selling model, hired out by supercar and chauffeur fleets who want something usable day to day. Later S, Performante and SE versions have replaced this original V8 spec in Lamborghini's current lineup, but it is still what most UK hire fleets run.
