 Up for auction is my 1991 Bentley Mulsanne S. Interests have changed and I'm changing some of the vehicles in my collection and have decided to place the Bentley up for sale. The Mulsanne model was manufactured by Bentley Motors Limited  from 1980 to 1992. It is based on the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit/Silver Spur models introduced at the same time and manufactured in the same factory in Crewe. The Mulsanne S series began in 1987 with just 970 produced in total until 1992. The Mulsanne S is a non-turbocharged model which has many of the features and details of the Turbo R (alloy wheels & interior) with a firmed up suspension "tuned for more spirited driving" (as listed on the original price sticker ($144,297.00), included in the sale). This Bentley is finished in black with a Silverstone Grey interior, piped same. The interior woodwork is in excellent condition, the drivers seat shows some sign of wear but there is no cracking or tears in the leather. I understand it can be redyed to freshen its appearance. It has traveled just over 80,000 miles since new, just a little over 6,000 miles a year. I am the second owner of this beautiful motorcar. The sale includes all original paperwork that I have, and of course, the original owners manual/books in their silk-lined leather case. As noted, there are some, what I consider minor, issues with the vehicle and I will describe them as best and accurately as I can. First off, there is some slight delamination/fogging of the rear windscreen (see photo). The gas gauge does not function properly, I suspect it is a faulty ground which I haven't traced. It reads "empty" when full and doesn't start to function until it is 1/2 to 1/4 tank. I have always used the odometer to determine when to fill up. The memory seat/mirrors ECM on occasion will not function properly. I replaced the internal batteries a few years ago so that is not the problem, the units are available after market either on a new or rebuilt basis. I replaced the spheres in the rear suspension approximately 1,000 miles ago and since that time, the "brake pressure" light blinks momentarily when the brakes are applied. There is no issue with either the braking or suspension, I believe another thorough bleeding of the hydraulic system will eliminate the problem. There is a slight leak in the power steering rack/pinion. I just top it up as necessary. The unit is available rebuilt in the after market or you could have it rebuilt locally using genuine Crewe parts. The lambswool overlays should be freshened with a cleaning and redying should you so desire and finally, reports on the vehicle history indicate an accident. I have spoken with the original owner/purchaser and he assured me that the vehicle was never in an accident and believes that this reported event may in fact be the paint work that was done under warranty by the Rolls Royce/Bentley dealer where he purchased the motorcar. I didn't ask him where the paint work was done on the vehicle but I honestly cannot find any evidence of this repair or any other repairs to the coachwork. I have placed the reserve price fairly to allow for the repair costs of these issues. I'm sure you'll be very happy with this fine motorcar if you are the high bidder. The motorcar has a clear NYS title "mileage exempt" (over 10 years titles do not show mileage in NYS).

2014 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible runs topless through Motown

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Looking cool in blue (better than the Grimace-purple we saw a few weeks ago), with strong, tailored bodywork and a one-percenter-approved face, the 2013 Bentley GT Speed Convertible is right at home with all the exotic metal on the floor of Cobo Center here at the Detroit Auto Show.
You've already read about (or should have) the 616-horsepower, 590-pound-feet-of-torque 6.0-liter W12 engine that hides under the hood of the GT Speed droptop, and you've no doubt remembered the ludicrous top speed of 202 miles per hour. Impressive stats, all.
All that's left, then, unless you've got a wild hair to reexamine the full-fat Bentley press release (available below), is to direct you to the oven-fresh gallery of live images that we've compiled, just for you.

Chris Harris finds out if the Bentley Continental GT3-R deserves the badge

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Before getting behind the wheel, Chris Harris is very confused by the Bentley Continental GT3-R. While the British brand undoubtedly has a long history in motorsports, Harris questions whether the stripped-out coupe fits the company's luxurious image. He aims to find out in his latest, drift-heavy video. Weighing in at over 4,800 pounds, this Continental is no lightweight, but the muscle comes thanks to a 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 572 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Power goes to all four wheels, but as Harris shows here, the system is still happy to let the big coupe wag its tail. He has especially nice things to say about the shorter differential that sacrifices outright top speed for better response at lower velocities. Still, the question remains whether it makes sense for a posh brand like Bentley to follow the Porsche mold with a racecar for the street. With the GT3-R limited to just 300 cars worldwide and 99 in the US for $337,000 each, a good way to find out is to take this ride with Harris.

The Bentley Bacalar went from a sketch to a 650-hp roadster in nine months

Thu, Mar 19 2020

Bentley's Mulliner division cemented its status as a modern-day coachbuilder when it unveiled the Bacalar, a two-seater roadster loosely based on the Continental GT. Nearly every part that drivers will see and feel is specific to the model, including the body panels and most of the interior, yet the company created it in just nine months. Mulliner has worked on many one- and few-off models in the past, it notably turned the stately Mulsanne into a six-seater limousine in 2016, but the Bacalar (pictured) takes customization to an entirely new level. Repeated requests from its most loyal clients convinced Bentley to expand the scope of its coachbuilding division. "We felt a strong demand from our high-end customers. They asked again and again, 'can you do something very special?' They weren't talking about one of a hundred, but one of 10 or even one of one," explained Stefan Sielaff, the company's lead designer, in an interview with Autoblog. He added the Bacalar project started shortly after Bentley introduced the EXP 100 GT in 2019 to celebrate its 100th birthday. This explains some of the visual parallels between the two cars. While the concept was electric, the sold-out production model receives a mighty, 650-horsepower W12 engine because Bentley couldn't create a suitable battery-powered drivetrain in the short amount of time it had to make the roadster a reality. Sielaff stressed the effort his team put into making the Bacalar in nine months shouldn't be underestimated. "We had to make sure the car was road-legal, homologated, and certified. The car you would have seen at the Geneva auto show is literally what the customer will get. It's not a crazy show car. The only difference will be the colors and the materials, because we will work with each customer to make an individual statement," he said. In the United States, the Bacalar will be imported under the Show and Display law, like the McLaren Speedtail. The expedited design process meant the 12 future Bacalar owners signed the dotted line after seeing only digital renderings of the car. They weren't shown the final product until much later. Their enthusiasm is encouraging; it tells Sielaff there's a tremendous appetite for one- and few-off Bentley models among wealthy clients.
