all if this makes one Brookands
Bently Brooklands: the whole back end has to be assembled by hand because the shape is just too complex for a mechine to understand, 16 cows had to lay down their lives to produce enough leather for this one car, and it takes 125 hours to stitch it all together, it takes 2 days to pollish the stainless steel trim pieces, and 130 hours to make the roof lining. To make the carpet, 16 sheep had to get a haircut. And for the dashboard, 108 sq. ft. of 80 yr old walnut was needed. It takes 9 hours to completely assemble a Toyota Yaris, the Brooklands takes 14 times longer, and before options, it starts at $240,000. The special "Flying B" emblem is $2,136. Ceramic brakes are getting on for $20,000. ($=british pounds, idk about the dollar value)
After readin it all, i felt like i had to share the knowledge at 3 a.m. Even if i did have the money for the car and insurance, i couldnt imagine driving it once.
