Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house coach-building division, is revealing its latest range of bespoke creations for the Flying Spur, enabling Middle East customers to personalise the four-door luxury sedan to an even higher level.
For the first time in the region, the Flying Spur can now be specified with a refrigerated bottle cooler between the rear seats, Mulliner quilted leather, sterling silver atomisers and hide-trimmed stowage boxes. This new range of personalisation options are but a few of the limitless possibilities a customer can find with Mulliner, and further enhance the Flying Spur’s reputation for unparalleled luxury and refinement for both work and relaxation.
Available with either a 4.0-litre V8 or mighty 6.0-litre W12, the Flying Spur offers immense performance to complement its class-leading comfort and refinement.
Geoff Dowding, Director of Mulliner explains “Mulliner offers customers the opportunity to personalise their car over and above the one million plus combinations already available to them. Creating bespoke features is about understanding our customer needs and requirements and the Flying Spur is a perfect outlet for us to interpret their ideas.”
Mulliner Refrigerated Bottle Cooler
A luxuriously appointed refrigerated bottle cooler is now available in the Flying Spur for the first time. Rear-seat passengers will find storage for a sparkling drinks bottle in a canted position, a bottle stopper and two bespoke flutes, all secreted behind frosted glass with bright chrome detailing.
The flutes – designed so that the base of the glasses mirror the design of a Mulsanne’s 21” 5-spoke Sports alloy wheel – can also be placed in specially designed flute holders in the centre console armrest, for secure storage between sips. When not in use, the bottle cooler and glasses can be stowed and concealed, with the fifth seating position reinstated.
Each refrigerated bottle cooler is made to order, hand built and trimmed in the Mulliner workshop in a process that takes highly skilled artisans 15 hours.
Sterling Silver Atomisers
Elegant and convenient, Mulliner has redesigned the doors of the Flying Spur to accommodate hallmarked silver atomisers. These sterling silver items can be used to spray a fine mist of water or perfume, delivering fragrance or refreshment for rear seat occupants.
Each atomiser is highly polished and housed in a dedicated compartment within the interior trim of the rear door, for discreet and secure storage when not in use.
Hide-Trimmed Stowage Boxes
The centre console in the Flying Spur can now be specified with a hand-crafted rear stowage compartment. This luxurious yet convenient feature includes a watch holder and an area for the secure stowage of cufflinks, coins and the like.
Inside, Mulliner suggests the compartment is trimmed with an unexpected burst of colour – for example, Mandarin ‘Hidden Delights’ hide. Inspired by the tradition of Savile Row tailoring, this contrast colour showcases the extent of customer personalisation offered by Mulliner.
