Bentley Speed 8 - best model ?

Post by luft911 » Thu Mar 05, 2020 6:44 pm

Hi Guys ,
Looking to purchase a 2003 Bentley Speed 8 LM winner and wondered how the Autoart and TSM versions stack up against one another ? Has anyone had the 2 side by side to compare detail , paint and graphics quality ?
Thanks,
Bryan

Thanks - both look nice in pics and both are sealed . Might just come down to the quality of paint / graphics . Prices seem about the same too . Thought one would look nice displayed with the Minichamps Blower Bentley .

Cause it comes on a cool base... :rotfl:

The small details are there, paint is flawless, TSM has the 3rd window on the doors, great carbon work more to scale and more of it on the rear. Spit rear wing on the tsm. Stance the Tsm sits slightly lower, Excellent all around piece. And it was cheaper.

Also ill be selling this one still as new in the box. Out for the pics above.
