The Bentley Mulsanne is named after the Mulsanne Straight of the Le Mans racing circuit, Bentley cars having won six victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the past. Bentley brought back the Mulsanne nameplate that was last used in 1992; this model replaces the hugely successful Arnage and was unveiled at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August 2009. In keeping with the Arnage, the Mulsanne retained the 6750cc, V8 power unit, the engine was lighter and featured cylinder de-activation and variable cam phasing to improve fuel efficiency. It was the first flagship car to be independently designed by Bentley Motors in nearly 80 years; the last being W. O. Bentley's 8 litre model in 1930.
This superb low mileage example of the fabulous model is presented in dark grey metallic with light cream/ white leather interior. This car is fully loaded with all the extras the factory could offer which includes TV screens to the headrests, privacy windows, diamond stitching to the leather upholstery, glass sunroof, Sat nav, air conditioning etc. The condition of this Bentley is exemplary and the ride quality is sublime, matched with its powerful 6. 7 litre engine, makes for a wonderful touring saloon. The car comes with full Bentley history and the vendor is retaining his private registration and a new V5 has been applied for which should arrive by the time of the auction but its new registration has been allocated as stated. Consigned by James Good.
