Fancy Chutney, Charles! Mulliner Offers New Bentley Flying Spur Options

Bentley Mulliner Bottle Cooler

If the Continental GT Monster by Mulliner series of cars smells perhaps a bit much like the accidentally monied proletariat to you, Bentley understands. As such, the Mulliner division has been hard at work fettling new luxuries for your next Flying Spur.

Since wood’s old hat and carbon fiber’s only goes so far beyond being plastic in a tux, might we point you toward the new painted surfaces Bentley’s offering? The company goes to the same sort of trouble they would with a traditional tree-based interior—bookmatching, sanding, lacquering and so forth—but it’s then covered with a layer of paint, allowing a cornucopia of tonal options that previously were unavailable.

Bentley Mulliner Atomizers

Spur customers now can opt to have their vehicles equipped with sterling-silver atomizers, which sit smartly in little holders built into the rear doors, allowing those being carted to and fro to enjoy a refreshing spritz of cooling water, a gentle whiff of a favored fragrance, or, if true hedonism’s the name of the game, a convenient nip of ether or amyl nitrate.

Bentley Watch Compartment

If you’re prone to misplacing your Patek, Bentley will build you a hide-trimmed rear stowage compartment with a watch holder. The numismatically inclined also will find space to store a small cache of doubloons, krugerrands, and Irish punts. If the compartment alone’s not enough, an extra outlay of coin will compel Bentley to quilt the console. If you desire, it also will do the seat bolsters and door panels, enveloping you in the luxuriant glow of stitched diamonds.





After a hard day at Davos, you’d like to relax with a chilled beverage in the rear of your Flying Spur, yes? Luckily, Mulliner now will install a bottle cooler with a frosted-glass door. Naturally, it comes with the accessories required for the enjoyment of champagne, including two flutes designed to fit into the center-console armrest, and a bottle stopper for keeping the unsipped champers fresh ’n’ bubbly. And given the additional tools for nigh-excessive personalization Mulliner’s just offered you, there’s no excuse if you’re not all fresh ’n’ bubbly with ideas, Mr. Titan of Industry!
