Bentley
is marking its 95th anniversary in the UK by unveiling the ‘Mulsanne 95’, a
striking special edition of the company’s luxurious flagship model. Only 15
examples will be hand crafted by Bentley’s Mulliner division in Crewe and all
are reserved for customers in the United Kingdom. Their British-inspired
colours, as well as a unique wood veneer and range of design cues, all
emphasise the exclusive nature of the Mulsanne, according to a company
statement.
Three
bespoke exterior colours; Britannia Blue, Empire Red and Oxford White – created
especially for this limited run of cars and then hand-finished at Bentley’s own
paintshop – have been conceived for the Mulsanne 95 with each option reflecting
Bentley’s proud British roots.
The
classic red, white and blue colour palette is complemented by some eye-catching
exterior design touches unique to Mulsanne 95, with a dark tint finish given to
the iconic Flying B bonnet mascot and the striking 21-inch five-spoke wheels.
Illuminated
treadplates featuring a bespoke ‘NINETY FIVE’ script and union flag detail turn
the simple act of opening the door into an occasion. A distinctive ‘95’ emblem has been
embroidered onto the front and rear seats as well as featuring on the passenger
fascia panel.
The
cabin of the Mulsanne 95 showcases Bentley’s ability to skilfully blend
contemporary features with the luxurious wood veneers and leather hides for
which the company is renowned.
Bentley’s
passion for uncovering beautiful and sustainable wood veneers that bring
character and great decorative taste throughout a cabin means the company has a
team of experts searching around the globe for new designs. For this distinctly
British model, however, the team found inspiration closer to home.
