In the same spirit as the coachbuilt Bentleys of the 1920s and '30s, customers will be able to commission a car to their own specification, and create a unique statement that will be valued in the future.
Bentley Mulliner's expertise in bespoke interiors does not mean attention is taken away from the critical design and engineering requirements of such a complex car.
Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars bought Mulliner in 1959, merging it with the Park Ward concern to form its own coachbuilding division, called Mulliner Park Ward in 1961, and it is this company from which today's Bentley Mulliner is directly descended.
