If you'd returned to your Jaguar thirty years ago to find it had melted, your first thought would probably turn to the car's electrical system. Jaguars these days are a lot more reliable though, so the man who returned to find bits of his Jaguar XJ melting in a parking space in London might have been a little more confused--and it was a nearby...
Bentley is expanding its Continental range with two new sporty editions based on its GT V8 coupe and GTC V8 convertible.

Here, the...
