A car enthusiast who was offered a test drive of a Bentley Betayga ended up taking it on a 3,000 mile drive across Europe.
Mike, from the CandyShowroom YouTube channel, was contacted by Bentley and asked if he’d like to test the Betayga over a long weekend.
Naturally, he was more than happy to accept the offer.
But when the car was delivered to him, he decided to do something a bit different for the test drive.

He was offered the Bentley Betayga for a long weekend
British carmaker Bentley launched the Bentayga – its very first SUV – in 2015.
The car began as a concept vehicle known as the EXP 9 F, but its design sparked criticism from car lovers.
So, ahead of launching the production version, Bentley made some changes to its design which resulted in the Bentayga we see today.
These days, the Bentayga has become one of the most popular vehicles in the Bentley range.
When Mike, from the CandyShowroom YouTube channel, was offered the chance to test drive one he didn’t need to think twice about it.
Mike was told he could take the car wherever he wanted to.
The test drive coincided with Mike’s birthday, so he decided to head out on the ‘ultimate road trip test’ taking the car to Monaco, via Bruges, Paris, Geneva, and Turin.
The epic European trip was around 3,000 miles
In total, the trip was around 3,000 miles and involved Mike and his pal Matt taking the Bentley Bentayga across all manner of roads and highways.
The pair set off from London, taking the channel tunnel through to Bruges where they stopped for lunch.
From Bruges they headed to Paris, taking in some of the most spectacular sights Europe has to offer, before going to Geneva and Turin.
After many hours, plenty of delicious food, and thousands of miles – they ended up in Monaco.
And, as you might have guessed, the Bentley Bentayga managed to do the whole trip without any major issues.
Mike even got a chance to take on the Le Mans track in the borrowed Bentley – not your average test drive, and we have to admit it looked like a lot of fun.
