Keith Richards' 1965 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Goes Under the Hammer ... - autoevolution
But when it comes to “Blue Lena”, which is how Keith Richards named his Bentley, it’s safe to say this classic saloon has seen more wild things than most of his fans ever imagined. The car of choice for regular people implies daily home-to-work and back trips average people do, but with Richards there are a lot more to it than these. In fact, there are references to Blue Lena - a name inspired by jazz singer Lena Horne - throughout Richards’ autobiography “Life”. Aside from the rockstar lifestyle with all the partying, groupies and long nights involved, this particular breed was the car The Rolling Stones guitarist drove down to Morocco back in the day. In fact, reports are the modified Flying Spur has a hidden compartment for the things they didn’t want police to find. Similar to how great artists live their life, this car also seems to be a decent classic limousine with all the stories hidden somewhere between its deaf interior and the tinted windows. Of those stories, we’re pretty sure nobody talks in the vehicle’s catalogue either, but whoever will bid the higher price in Fall will surely have a marvelous collectable in his garage.
