If you are a long time on a island life can be pretty boring. Bentley gives his wealthy compatriots, therefore, a friend to the rainy days, this Mulsanne 95.

Do you want a bet where the ’95’ stands for? The octane rating of the gasoline that should be, or maybe the number of 500 euro notes that careful consideration should be? Error, and error. It is a actiemodelletje on the occasion of 95 years of Bentley, what the brand is exactly 15 years younger than Rolls-Royce.

The units come in red, white, and blue, the colors of the Union Jack. In addition, characteristics of the actiemodelletjes by a chrome plated Bentley logo between the front doors and the front wheel, and of course the obligatory logos. All according to the booklet. Of the wood in the interior, we get spontaneous migraine attacks, especially with the red stitching in the white leather too. But yes, also in the interior should be red, white and blue prevail, and so gave the steering wheel a piece of blue leather.

The Mulsanne 95, which rolls on 21-inch, 15 copies were built, as I said, only for Uk customers. Just as the Mulsanne Birkin is Bentley Mulliner-spec. The plate (1 Walter Owen), however, remains in Crewe behind. Oh, and about that busy wood? That appears to be a very special-felled walnut tree:

The Mulsanne 95 features a particularly rare and noteworthy wood veneer selected by Bentley from a huge walnut tree – estimated to be between 300 and 400 years old – which came down at Fulbeck Hall in Lincolnshire during a heavy storm in 2007. The Fulbeck Walnut veneer features in the signature ‘ring of wood’ that encompasses the entire interior, and its complex pattern displays a rare rippled effect which sweeps through the cabin.

Aha. So no living trees were harmed in the making of this Mulsanne.
