1990 Bentley Mulsanne S - 9,146mls

Launched in 1980, the Mulsanne was effectively a Bentley version of the new Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit and was virtually identical apart from a slightly different radiator treatment and a more sporting interior.

In 1982, a Turbo version joined the range with 50% more power, sports suspension, sports seats, a revised centre console and alloy wheels. This was followed in 1987 by the Mulsanne S, which shared all the sporting features of the Turbo model and, from 1989, gained quad round headlamps instead of twin rectangular ones whilst still retaining a normally aspirated version of the familiar 6,750cc V8 engine, now fitted with Bosch Jetronic fuel injection.

With height adjustable suspension and massive brake discs all round, it was patently quick enough for most owners, wafting up to 60mph in 10 seconds with a top speed of 129mph. Just 909 Mulsanne S models were produced before it was replaced by the similar Brooklands evocation in 1992.

This Bentley Mulsanne S was supplied new by Broughtons of Cheltenham in January 1990, and was specially ordered in the, very distinctive, two-tone Cotswold Beige over Bordeaux with a contrasting Parchment hide interior with red piping, red carpets, red lambswool over-rugs and a red dashboard top roll. It remained in the ownership of one family passing to the original owners Wife and subsequently Daughter until it was eventually sold in February 2012.

This stunning Bentley, despite being almost 25 years old has covered a mere 9,146 miles at the time of cataloguing with a documented service history support and is still in pristine condition throughout. The service history is as follows:

17/02/1997 - Broughton & Company Ltd - 5,773mls01/07/1997 - Broughton & Company Ltd - 5,860mls26/09/2001 - Bentley Birmingham - 7,447mls06/02/2002 - Bentley Birmingham - 7,663mls20/03/2008 - Bentley Birmingham - 8,273mls19/08/2014 - Hiller Hill - 8,939mls

Under the ownership of our vendor, the car has been subject to some work by Hiller Hill at a cost of £3,240 to ensure that it continues to remain in excellent order and this included a replacement steering rack and new rear suspension gas struts.

Superbly presented in all respects with an equally immaculate engine bay, this is surely one of the finest examples available and this luxurious, low mileage Bentley would be the perfect acquisition for a gentleman wishing to make a statement.
