Mulliner's roots date back to the 1500's - that's almost 500 years of craftsmanship experience and heritage
The firm's original focus was creating luxurious horse-drawn carriages
Mulliner showcased for the first time work on a Bentley chassis in 1923, exhibiting a two-seater 3 Litre Bentley at the Olympia Show in London - just four years after Bentley Motors was founded
In 1952, Mulliner coachbuilt one of the most iconic Bentleys ever - the R-Type Continental. This model inspired the design of today's Continental GT
In 1957, Mulliner introduced the Continental Flying Spur, a special four-door saloon built on the Bentley Continental chassis
Mulliner became officially part of Bentley Motors in 1959, setting up its workshops in Crewe
Personalising your Bentley, and your life
By inviting Mulliner to work on your behalf on the specification and finish of your Bentley, you are creating more than a customised car – you are creating a deeply personal statement that will grace every day of your life. And the process of personalising your car can be as pleasing and effortless as driving the finished vehicle itself. Take a moment to peruse a few of our many examples on this page. Bespoke hides for the upholstery, accent-coloured interior details and special Mulliner additions can be specified and chosen at your ease.
A Breathtaking vista
You will find the view from the front seats of the Bentayga quite simply inspirational. And we are not referring to a far-flung, exotic location viewed through the windscreen. We speak, instead, of the extraordinary craftsmanship employed by Mulliner to produce the Mountain Marquetry veneer inlaid into the car’s fascia.
It shows a beautiful representation of the Roque Bentayga, in Gran Canaria, which originally inspired the name of the world’s first genuine luxury SUV. Mulliner have captured its essence – even parked in your driveway it will transport you to a distant horizon.
It is almost impossible to appreciate the levels of complex artistry and hours of manual skill that go into this time-honoured process. The materials are of an exquisite nature – in all, 32 layers of different wood, from six species of tree, are meticulously combined in a variety of illuminating hues.
Mulliner has produced an automotive work of art that you will want to drive off with. And, if you own a Bentayga, you can.
Orange Flame
From a spark of inspiration
The craftspeople at Mulliner find inspiration everywhere - the challenge is translating that inspiration into engineering perfection. This car is a prime example of why enduring that challenge is worth it. Inspired by the vitality and power of a living flame, it was a chance to explore innovative fabrics and colours.
To truly emulate the organic colour palette and mesmerizing movement of a flame, a new material was required. That material was Sparkle Carbon. It is woven from three different fabrics – carbon fibre, copper foil and metal wire – before being cut to size and applied. It is then lacquered and polished until the foil aspect of the weave emerges to showcase its natural reflectivity.
The company created this car for the 2016 Geneva Motorshow – a glowing example of their flare and passion. Its striking Orange Flame over Ghost White colourway is complemented with an Orange Flame bodykit, Orange illuminated treadplates and a unique tri-tone interior.
This look is further elevated with Mulliner embroidery to all four headrests, a steering wheel with an orange “12 o’clock” stripe and sporting black gloss painted wheels. Of course, the really unique part of this car is the Orange Sparkle Carbon fascia panel, console and instrument panel.
Consider it living proof of Mulliner’s commitment to innovation.
Bespoke Hides
With Mulliner, almost any visible feature of your Bentley can be finished in a bespoke colour – even the hand-stitched leather hides used to upholster the cabin interior.
And it doesn’t stop there. The embroidery, the carpets and the exterior paintwork can also be colour-matched to a sample you provide. Whether it’s a favourite suit, a favourite lipstick or the coat of your favourite racehorse, our experts can recreate any shade you specify and reproduce it anywhere in your car.
Your new colour can be combined with any existing hue from the Bentley range or, if you prefer, you can use it throughout, to the exclusion of all others.
