Big planks of glossy burled walnut are still the norm for Bentley today.
I think they only recently started offering matte wood in the hybrid Flying Spur. Your only other option if you didn't want gloss wood was gloss black trim.
The saddle color in the Brooklands definitely helped offset all the wood, it's much more noticeable in a beige interior like the one Doug Demuro reviewed.
Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder... I thought the beige interior helped.
On a side note, that era of Bentleys had some hilarious "quirks." I'll never forget riding in my grandfather's Arnage with all of 800 miles on it and then going over a big bump and having the glovebox come completely unlatched. Some things were just poorly fitted or cheap (radio/sat nav) but it somehow didn't ruin the experience.
That signature handbuilt British craftsmanship.

Instead the surround and buttons are now gloss black, which I'm not sure is better than gloss wood. Of course the design and layout is far more modern but I expect that from a car 10 years newer than the Brooklands.

That's a reflection, not a scratch.
Also the dealership it's being sold at posted a video. Does a better job showcasing the car than my pics.
that's a gorgeous old car (and i don't like many old cars). thanks for sharing.
looks in incredible shape, how many miles on it? and what's it selling for?
