Mulsanne S
1991
Without doubt and certainly
one of the rarest, and also most beautiful,
early 90s Bentley Mulsanne S you
will find!
Presenting a very rare RHD Bentley Mulsanne S in classic
Georgian Silver hand-painted fine lines in St James Red to its waistrails. The
interior is finished in very unique and special factory order, Harris Opera
blue velvet with coordinating blue leather to the dash, console, arm rests,
rear parcel shelf, head-liner and cantrails. A very rarely seen and delightful combination.
Perhaps not to everyone's taste but we consider it beautiful. Not only because
it is so rare, but with the benefit that it is considerably more comfortable
than leather. And, the car so much quieter given the considerably greater acoustic
benefits of cloth versus leather.
The car was special order of
Sir Paul Girolami of Glaxo Pharmaceuticals. As part of Sir Girolami's order, the car was to be "badge delete" which specifically referred to the NON-fitment of the BENTLEY badges on front wings (fenders) and boot (trunk) MULSANNE S badge. The cars was also to be fitted with special video
equipment but that was eventually cancelled. In more recent times a multi-CD player has been fitted but an original factory Alpine unit is available should you be a purist and wish to replace it.

Rarity aside, the condition
of this Mulsanne is outstanding.
This is a true 10 out of 10
car that is of top driver quality and standard. It has some 73,000 miles and
yet the car simply looks like it has done 30,000. All original paint and
finishes. The interior smells like a brand new Bentley, there is no wear on the
seats and the wood is pretty much perfect.
This is highly optioned
example which has been meticulously maintained by its previous Bentley enthusiast
owners. The car's second owner was well known and highly respected Rolls-Royce
and Bentley expert; Mr John Shostrom from
Being a Mulsanne S it has the
4 large round headlamps from the Turbo R and the full length centre console
also from its big brother. She sports her own alloy wheels with a near new set
of whitewalls fitted by us.
The body and paint is in excellent
original condition with minimal imperfections. The car still
"dressed" in its original single stage paint is a fantastic testament
to its coddled ownership and originality. It is high in lustre, completely
consistent and just beautiful. A set of factory Bentley mudflaps are fitted.
The interior walnut wood is
in perfect condition and is also the factory original Rolls-Royce/Bentley
factory finish. The rich depth of the burl walnut contrasts very handsomely
with the sumptuous Harris Opera blue velvet upholstery. The velvet in itself, is in
excellent condition without wear, marks or blemishes and presents like that in
a motor car only a few years old. The seats are very soft and super comfortable as
you would imagine. Simply stunning and beautiful - in need of nothing. Truly
exquisite. The dash “top-roll”, rear parcel shelf and console are flawless. The
leather headliner (also a special order) is simply “like new” and the carpets
still “wool-ball” like new ones.
The extra gooseneck reading
lights in the rear quarters were also a special factory order (they are NOT
aftermarket add-ons).
Being a "home" spec car, it does not have the unattractive auto-seat belts or unattractive steering wheel airbag normally seen in 1991 cars destined for North America.
Having spent almost all its
life indoors and in the most recent 15 years, in climate controlled museum storage at
all times, the car is very clean and dry. Mechanically the car has been exquisitely maintained. The condition and presentation under the hood is excellent
testimony to this. It was not even cleaned for the photos. The mileage is not
verifiable by independent receipts but upon close inspection; under the hood,
the underside, inside the doors, etc, there can be no question to its
authenticity.
As you would expect with a
car of such provenance, she comes with her original tools and handbooks. The car also comes with its factory supplied mouton overlay rugs.

~~ Presenting as a totally original Bentley Mulsanne S.

“as-is” to your next Bentley & Rolls-Royce meet with the intention of
