Rolled the dice and was lucky enough to secure the two tone 2012 30k Mulsanne in the recent Collecting Cars auction, vendor was a proper gent, car has full Bentley History and has been cherished, the two owner car was being replaced with a Cullinan.

Did the 300 miles home in sumptuous luxury, everything seems to work, couldn t be happier, it even just fits in the garage wink

I m searching for a set of front floor mats if anybody knows where to source a good quality aftermarket set then that d be very helpful ..

It’s very different…. Clever that the dash leather matches the lighter tone of the bonnet



File shows it was ordered for a now deceased multi billionaire living in London, he clearly had a great vision

Arrived in Bordeaux after visiting Brantome and Perigeux, getting 26mpg - helpful given French fuel prices >2 L

Car has now been named Ron, as its triple Burgandy. Colour really stunning in sunshine.

Found seat cooling, electric adjusters for headrests and seatbelts today .

I’m lucky enough to have traveled in a Mulsanne a couple of times - wonderfully luxurious and cocooned environment. Also, so nice to see some colour, other than the usual blacks and blues! What is it please?

My brother had a Mulsanne some years ago. It was one of the facelifted ones and was a lovely thing - they're really quite a step up from the Flying Spur. Yours is beautiful.
