Treat it as a daily driver, like a Merc taxi 😄

This way may even be a better/cheaper way to keep the engine running in the long run, instead of tucked away in the garage and let the parts degrade!

The Yearly Maintenence Service should be even more than the Road Tax.

If no parts need to change, should be a couple of thousands per routine servicing, give it maybe twice a year? Still less than 8k...

I doubt this is daily driven. Daily driven wear and tear I can understand and each Bentley part could be four figures at least.

All a matter of perspective how one spends. Some people buy a few watches a year and even 10k is barely enough for 1 luxury watch. Some can spend that on a couple of business air tickets a year if they don't redeem miles or claim corporate.

This is so much more worth it.

Haven't seen one of these in ages - An almost 40-year-old 3G Honda Civic. Also rebadged and sold as the Mk 1 Rover 200 back in the day...

This is nothing. 
there is a EE plate normal car, jaguar 5.3L V12. EE should be the original plate. Hence from 1976. Coming 50years liao. Road tax paid over the 50years should be closer to 600k or more.
