2012 Bentley Mulsanne | The Summer Serenade Auction | 18th July

The Bentley Mulsanne was introduced in 2010 as the marque's flagship model, replacing the Arnage and becoming the first Bentley designed, engineered and built entirely under Bentley ownership since the legendary 8.0 litre of the 1930s. Named after the famous Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans, the model combined traditional British craftsmanship with modern engineering, creating one of the world's finest luxury saloons. Power came from Bentley's legendary hand-built 6¾ litre twin-turbocharged V8, producing 505bhp and an immense 752lb-ft of torque, delivering effortless performance with exceptional refinement. Every Mulsanne required in excess of 400 hours of skilled craftsmanship at Crewe, with individually selected hides, hand-finished veneers and meticulous attention to detail creating a motor car that remains one of the last truly hand-built luxury saloons.

First registered in 2012, this outstanding Bentley Mulsanne is presented in elegant Beluga Black with a beautifully appointed Magnolia leather interior, complemented by the desirable Piano Black veneer. Having covered just 36,500 miles from new, it is powered by Bentley's iconic 6.75 litre twin-turbocharged V8, coupled to the effortless eight-speed automatic transmission, providing the serene performance expected of the marque's flagship model. This exceptional example benefits from a full Bentley main dealer service history, all carried out by HR Owen, reflecting the standard of care it has received throughout its life. Further enhancing its appeal, the car has recently been serviced, covering fewer than 200 miles since, while all four alloy wheels have been professionally refurbished and a new set of tyres fitted, ensuring it is presented in outstanding mechanical and cosmetic order. Originally costing in excess of £225,000, the Mulsanne remains one of Bentley's defining modern models and offers an unrivalled blend of craftsmanship, presence and refinement. This superbly maintained, low-mileage example represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Crewe's finest creations in exemplary condition. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
