In 1919 Walter Owen (W.O.) Bentley created a company with a simple objective: To build "a fast car, a good car, the best in its class". This guiding principle has driven Bentley ever since, pushing the brand forward and making it the leader in automotive luxury around the world today.
Inside the key case, there is a range of memorabilia to mark the extraordinary milestone in the history of the luxury automotive brand, including a bespoke 1:18 model of W.O.'s personal 8 Litre.
Accompanying this special souvenir, a flying 'B' paperweight, displayed adjacent to a set of three keys, and a printed brochure with never-seen-before imagery of the 1930 8 Litre. The finishing touch to this commemorative gift is added with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Bentley Chairman and CEO, Adrian Hallmark, and Director of Design and Mulliner, Stefan Sielaff.
Built to pay homage to Bentley's founding father, the limited edition model is inspired by the famous 1930 8 Litre - the last model W.O. designed for Bentley Motors - with the key case featuring many of the same design elements.
Separated by a chrome pinstripe, the case is handcrafted using the same Dark Stained Burr Walnut and Piano Black veneer, perfectly complemented by a Fireglow Heritage hide pull tab that matches the red interior of the Mulsanne W.O. Edition.
The polished exterior is engraved with the years 1919-2019, to mark this extraordinary centenary, and an elegantly illustrated silhouette of a Bentley Mulsanne. The addition of W.O.'s personal signature pays a fitting tribute to the innovative founder.
