2019 Bentley Mulsanne Speed

This Bentley Mulsanne Speed represents the final flowering of Crewe's hand-built flagship saloon, powered by the legendary 6¾-litre twin-turbocharged V8 that traces its lineage back six decades. Finished in Extended Range Black Crystal paint (a £4,545 option) over Linen Leather, this 2019 example has covered just 10,166 miles from new and carries a comprehensive Bentley service history. The specification list reads like a wishlist: the £16,030 Entertainment Specification, £7,170 Premiere Specification, Comfort and Centenary packs, the large panel glass sunroof, 21-inch Mulsanne Speed wheels, and the dark-tinted Flying B mascot.

The Speed variant takes the standard Mulsanne's 505bhp and pushes it to 530bhp with 811 lb-ft of torque, dispatching 62mph in 4.8 seconds while remaining capable of 190mph. Inside, the diamond-quilted Speed-style hide, dark stained burr walnut veneers, lambswool rugs and veneered gear lever speak to the bespoke nature of the build. UK supplied and offered with the Romans International Platinum Warranty, this is one of an increasingly small number of properly hand-assembled Bentleys, built before the production line closed in 2020 and the model line was retired in favour of electrified successors. A genuine piece of British coachbuilding heritage with future-classic credentials.
