The last Mulsanne !

The last Mulsanne was commissioned by, and built for, Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and includes a range of bespoke features to ensure the car was fit for royal duties. The starting point was an exterior in solid Barnato green, paired with an interior in Twine and Cumbrian hide, Burr Walnut wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets.

To this, the specification added rear privacy curtains and the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom inlaid into the door waistrails, while the front centre armrests were removed in lieu of a custom-sized tray to accommodate the Queen’s handbag. Discretely concealed blue police lights, a siren and a bullhorn were also installed, with a dedicated switch panel hidden beneath a walnut-veneered door behind the gear lever.

Bentley’s iconic 394kW 6.75-litre V8 engine, 21” alloy wheels and chrome brightware for the grille and front wing vents and the iconic Flying B complete the car, which will be retained as the third and final Mulsanne in Bentley’s Heritage Collection.

It will join the second Mulsanne ever built, VIN 0002 from 2010, and a 2019 Mulsanne Speed that previously saw service on Bentley’s press fleet.

The three Mulsannes are part of an expanded 45-car Collection, 2.5 years into a three-year programme to completely rebuild a family of cars that together explain and describe Bentley’s 104-year history.

BENTLEY MUSANNE (2010)

This was not a terrorist attack After federal authorities determined that the Bentley Flying Spur explosion on the US-Canada border was not a terrorist attack, the Niagara Falls Police Department began investigating the crash. Police Chief John Faso said the investigation will be a big challenge for his department. He confirmed that 3D scanners are being used to create a digital scene of the crash, which should help investigators determine the cause of the accident. “They bring equipment to the scene, scan the scene and create a three-dimensional image of the entire scene,” said John Faso. “Such issues cannot be resolved overnight. This is a monumental task."

While the department is looking to figure out what happened outside the vehicle, determining what happened inside it will also be critical, said automotive analyst Lauren Fix. She believes the Bentley Flying Spur's event data recorder will help investigators figure out what went wrong. According to one version, the driver could have a heart problem. There are also reports that some Bentley Flying Spurs built between 2018 and 2021 have been recalled in Australia due to problems that could lead to unintended acceleration. However, this is a 2022 model year car. In addition, Bentley told the New York Times that the problem only affects right-hand drive models. Let us remind you that a New York businessman, while driving a Bentley Flying Spur worth $300,000, exploded in a car with his wife last week on the US-Canada border.
