I guess the Russians are not familiar with the saying that ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery‘.
Wow. I immediately thought it was a Bentley & wondered what Putin was thinking in giving a capitalist Bentley to Trump’s buddy. I was intrigued. I had to look it up.
It was NOT a Bentley.
It is a blatant Russian RIP-OFF of a Bentley. It is made by a Russian car company called ‘Aurus Motors‘. Shameless. Wow. But, acknowledgement that we have always been better at design than them.
But, it got me thinking. SADLY & inconceivably, ‘Rolls-Royce‘ & ‘Bentley’ are NO LONGER British! They are (bloody) German owned. Such a bloody shame. Breaks my heart.
Well, now we all know.
