  • Bentley completes first hand-finished Bacalar and Blower customer cars

    Bentley Mulliner has completed the first customer cars in both of its new series of pinnacle, handcrafted, bespoke projects.


    Bentley Mulliner has completed the first customer cars in both of its new series of pinnacle, handcrafted, bespoke projects.

    Each car is the first of their respective 12 vehicle series, with Bacalar Car One being the first customer delivery of Mulliner's new coachbuilt barchetta. Meanwhile, Blower Car One is a millimetre-accurate mechanical recreation of Sir Henry 'Tim' Birkin's 1929 supercharged 4.5-litre, and the first customer car of the world's first pre-war continuation series.

    The Blower Car One's body is trimmed in period-correct Rexine and finished in bespoke Birkin Green paint
    The first customer cars follow their engineering prototypes, known in Bentley as the 'Car Zeroes'. Each has completed significant durability mileage, performance and climatic testing in various locations and the engineering sign-off of both projects was successfully achieved to allow customer builds to commence.

    The first Blower Continuation Series car is a shining example of classic design, executed to perfection. The body is trimmed in period-correct Rexine and finished in bespoke Birkin Green paint, a recreation of the colour of the original Blower on which it's based.

    Built, owned and raced by Sir Tim Birkin, the car is still owned by Bentley Motors and is run weekly. Car One is therefore the most fitting start to the Continuation Series that could be imagined. The Birkin Green body is complemented by identically coloured wire wheels, with colour-matched leather trimming the interior. The foldable roof is in black.

    Alongside the Blower, Bacalar Car One has also been finished. Its carbon fibre body is finished in a bespoke colour for the lead customer - a champagne-tinted satin silver called Atom Silver. The car sits on 22-inch Bacalar Tri-Finish wheels, with polished faces, dark grey satin spokes and gloss Moss Green accent highlights.

    The interior of Bacalar Car One has been finished with a black and green colour scheme
    The same Moss Green accent is applied to the front grille centre bar, the insides of the headlamps, the upper body chrome surround and around the gloss black 'power humps' to the rear.

    Gloss black also provides contrast to the A-pillars, grille meshes and surrounds, bonnet vents, side vents, lower body, rear bumper insert and brake calipers. The rear of the car is finished with gloss black outer exhaust tips with Moss Green inners.

    The interior of Bacalar Car One follows the same black and green trend. Beluga leather is accented with Moss Green hide to the wings of the console, the outer seat backs and throughout the cabin as contrast stitching through the unique Bacalar quilting pattern. The seat centres use fine Nappa leather, while the carpets are beluga diamond-carved overmats with Moss Green binding and stitching.
