presumably, they cleaned it up, repainted it, refitted the interior - and took it up to Edinburgh (or somehow found *another* Bentley cab to use, although that would be pretty difficult - it was hard enough to source the first one, they're pretty rare, and still very expensive.) My money is on that the S2 cab only is still the S1 cab only, just painted again. But either way, the s2 cab only was created to match the s1 car and interior.

THEN... the s2 Bentley arrived in Edinburgh,  all black, with 4 doors, and blue interior.

Now either it was too late, too expensive, or no one noticed/cared about the SFX cab only not matching the new Bentley, so they just rolled with it, and hoped no one would notice.

(Spoiler alert, I did notice)

S1 Bentley, belonging to my friend Jeremy, she’s named “Mary.” She’s a 1934 Bentley Derby Coupe with coachwork built by Thrupp & Maberley, in two tone grey and black with red leather interior.

Her Good Omens number plates are still in the boot, and the Velvet Underground CD is still in the passenger door pocket where Michael Sheen left it.

Now THIS is the cab only used in season 2 - as you can see, it retains the two door, black and grey colour scheme of Mary from Season 1, who was NOT used in season 2. Yes I know why she wasn’t used, and no I will not be divulging that information, as it’s private and not something for me to say. All I can tell you is that I knew before season 2 even began filming, that Mary was not going to be in it and why that was. I kept that information under my hat, until it was confirmed that they had a new car, as I didn’t want to spoil anything for anyone.

Now HERE we have the season 2 Bentley. She is NOT the same as Mary - she’s a 4 door entirely in black, with a dark blue interior, she’s not a Thrupp & Maberley body, as there were only two of those constructed, and of those two, only Mary survives. I’m not certain WHO the coachbuilder was, I don’t think she’s Mulliner or Park-Ward, but not certain. This was her in Edinburgh during filming.

Season 2 Bentley on set in Edinburgh.

... and me [@scrapheapchallenge], with the season 2 Bentley on set in Edinburgh a few weeks ago before season 2 aired. I met her before and after her transformation - before she was taken to Edinburgh for fliming.

So, we have 2 and a half Bentleys in use between season 1 and season 2. And when you look at the colour of the seats in season 2, you will see them hop back and forth between blue and red. When they’re blue, it’s the real, fully functioning car. When they’re red, it was the cab only, so the shot will be using CGI to complete the vehicle afterwards." [End]
