2011 | Bentley Mulsanne

The Bentley Mulsanne is named after the Mulsanne Straight of the Le Mans racing circuit, Bentley cars having won six victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the past. Bentley brought back the Mulsanne nameplate that was last used in 1992; this model replaces the hugely successful Arnage and was unveiled at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August 2009. In keeping with the Arnage, the Mulsanne retained the 6750cc, V8 power unit, the engine was lighter and featured cylinder de-activation and variable cam phasing to improve fuel efficiency. It was the first flagship car to be independently designed by Bentley Motors in nearly 80 years; the last being W.O. Bentley's 8 litre model in 1930.

Originally registered on 30th September 2011 this Bentley is finished in the desirable colour combination of Dark Sapphire blue over a linen leather interior. A very well-appointed car, this example is offered directly from a private collection and comes with a sizeable history file including a comprehensive service record from main dealer and Bentley specialists detailing 12 services in total, the last of which was undertaken by Herne Motors Bentley specialist in April 2023. In lovely condition this splendid example is offered for sale with a V5C UK registration document, a current MoT test certificate valid until December 2024, and the original full book pack and trickle charger. The Mulsanne cost circa £190,000 when new, and today represents huge value for money with a very attractive estimate. Offering luxury and style in abundance this example is an opportunity not to be missed! Consigned by Daniel Godin
