The Appeal
Based upon Rolls-Royce’s Silver Spirit, the Mulsanne served as Bentley’s executive 4-door from 1980 to 1992. This 1990 ‘S’ example, features alloy wheels first seen on the Mulsanne Turbo, while the quintessentially ‘80s rectangular headlights of earlier models are replaced by round items.
With only three former keepers and a service history from the original supplier P&A Wood, this Bentley has clearly been loved by its owners and is now looking for its next custodian…
The History and Paperwork
- This vehicle was declared a Category D total insurance loss in 2017
- Purchased from and maintained for many years by P&A Wood
- Three former keepers
- Previous owner had the car since 2000
- MOT expired July 2022
The Interior
- Cream leather
- Walnut veneer
- Alpine stereo head unit
Mulsannes are beautifully appointed inside and this 1990 example is no exception. Swathes of cream leather adorn the seats and the dashboard fascia is finished in a stunning walnut veneer.
As one would expect from a 32 year-old car, there is some wear evident on the seats, especially the driver’s side where there is some cracking and discoloration to the seat bolsters. Evidently, this Bentley’s former keeper made good use of the door-mounted armrest, as it now wears quite a heavy patina.
Nevertheless, we identified no signs of damage and the leather appears to be quite serviceable as it is. The back seats have very little wear indeed, suggesting that this Mulsanne has had few rear passengers over the years.
The veneer on the dashboard and door cappings appears to be in really good order with no cracking in the finish we could see. It would seem that an Alpine Stereo head unit has been fitted at some point and the vendor informs us that this, and all the other switchgear, works exactly as it should. The carpets present well, as does the headlining - both of which are very usable.
Besides the odd blemish to the carpeting, the boot looks to be very smart and a full complement of tools, bulbs and fuses are stored within. There is also a period RAC first aid kit.
The Exterior
- Largely straight and very solid bodywork
- ‘Round headlight’ specification
This Mulsanne is presented in a very fetching shade of metallic blue which appears to be in very good condition. We are informed that the vendor has had some rectification work carried out to the upper portion of the driver’s door, although the evidence of a dent is still slightly visible. The paint was never broken so this should be quite easily corrected.
Elsewhere, the bodywork appears to be very smart and the vendor reports that there is no corrosion evident to the bodywork or underside. We are informed that there is some slight crazing to the paint on the roof, although a good machine polish should help with this.
The ‘S’ alloy wheels all appear to be smart and we were unable to detect any signs of curb rash or lacquer peel. The car sits on factory correct Avon Turbospeed tyres - the last MOT revealing slight cracking / perishing to the offside rear.
The chromework looks to be in really good order, the distinctive Bentley 'Flying B’ and grill gleaming under natural light. There is slight discolouration to the plastic bumpers, but nothing that would unduly concern us.
The Mechanics
- 6.7-litre V8
- All in very good order
- Runs and drives well
The vendor informs us that this Mulsanne S drives excellently, with no untoward noises or quirks the next owner needs to be aware of.
A glance at the MOT history would suggest that this Bentley has had some leaks from various components in recent years although the most recent test would suggest that these have since been rectified.
Making use of Rolls-Royce’s fabled 6.7-litre V8, this Mulsanne accelerates well, riding a wave of torque. The vendor reports that the Bentley also brakes well and corners smoothly.
Summary
A smart example of Bentley’s Mulsanne S, this car is as majestic today as it was in 1990.
This very sound Bentley would be an excellent candidate to make really very lovely indeed, with minimal work. Alternatively, the next owner could continue to enjoy the car in its eminently usable current condition.
Whatever is in store for this Bentley, we’re sure it will be cherished for years to come.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
