BENTLEY MULLS IT OVER

IT WOULD BE SAFE TO SAY THAT SOME HAVE forced themselves to admire Bentley’s Bentayga SUV from afar, longing to get their hands on the even more luxurious Mulliner variant. The British carmaker is touting the car as the “ultimate luxury SUV” and considering the in-house personal commissioning division has been to town on it, that’s entirely likely to be true. New features include duo Tone paintwork, unique 22” wheels, Mulliner Bottle Cooler and a new veneer concept. The flagship Bentayga is also available with the exquisite optional Linley Hamper by Mulliner, complete with refrigerator, bespoke fine Linley china cutlery, crockery and crystal glass, and storage area for dry goods. For added picnicking comfort, sections can also be removed and used for seating. “The Bentayga by Mulliner is the personification of Bentley: it further raises the benchmark of modern luxury,” said Robin Peel, the marque’s international head of marketing. “The first edition of the Bentayga was one of the most eagerly awaited models in the region and we are very pleased to unveil this extraordinary creation by our craftsmen at Crewe.”
