Reg No: HIL 9036 MOT: March 2024

Styled in-house by Austrian born Fritz Feller, the Bentley Mulsanne had somewhat less fussy lines than its T2 predecessor. Introduced in 1980, it was based upon the Shadow/T2 platform and offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling thanks to its new Girling automatic ride-height control and gas shock absorbers. Only in production for five years, a mere 909 standard wheelbase cars are thought to have been made.

Registered in January 1985, the first owner must have been a seasoned Rolls-Royce or Bentley customer as this Bentley is very well specified indeed. Apart from being finished in a non-Metallic Dark Green with a Beige Connolly leather interior piped in Spruce and Dark Green Wilton carpets and over rugs, the car sports a few special order items, such as a Spruce leather dashboard, very rare Bird’s Eye Maple veneers and armrest tops in Spruce leather. It has also been sympathetically updated by the fitment of the later style twin headlamps, a newer steering wheel and Bentley Brooklands-type alloy wheels. The current vendor, who has known and looked after the Mulsanne for the last 35 years, acquired the Bentley in May 2012 but is now selling the car due to retirement. The Mulsanne is accompanied by a history file containing a collection of invoices, an owner’s manual, partial tool kit, keys and a current V5C.
