Bentley adds new Mulsanne into its Heritage Collection

Bentley has added a new bespoke 2020 Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase into its Heritage Collection.

The car is the final example of the Mulsanne, and was commissioned by and built for the late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It thus comes with a host of features to make it fit for royal duties including the addition of rear privacy curtains as well as the use of the Royal coat of arms of the U.K. inlaid into the door waistrails. The car's front centre armrests were also removed to make way for a custom-sized tray to accommodate the Queen's handbag.

On the exterior, the special car also comes with discretely concealed blue police lights, a siren and a bullhorn, all activated by a dedicated switch panel hidden beneath a walnut-veneered door behind the gear lever.

The car comes in a solid Barnato green exterior finish, which is paired with an interior upholstered in Twine and Cumbrian hide alongside the use of Burr Walnut wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets. Bentley's famous 530bhp 6.75-litre V8 engine, 21-inch alloy wheels and chrome brightware for the grille and front wing vents and the iconic Flying B complete the car.

This latest addition is the third Mulsanne in Bentley's Heritage Collection, joining the second Mulsanne ever built, as well as a 2019 Mulsanne Speed that served on Bentley's press fleet. The Bentley Heritage Collection now comprises a total of 45 cars, as the three-year programme to rebuild a family of vehicle to describe Bentley's 104-year history inches closer to its last months.
