The Mulsanne is the first flagship car to be independently designed by Bentley Motors in nearly 80 years. The last independently designed Bentley automobile was W.O. Bentley's 8 litre model in 1930, after which most Bentleys shared platforms with Rolls-Royce cars.
The Mulsanne nameplate was last used by Bentley for a four-door saloon that was built between 1980 to 1992. It was resurrected as the nameplate for what would become the replacement for the Bentley Arnage, Bentley's then flagship model. In short the Mulsanne oozes class and style and powered by Bentleys wonderful 6.8 L Petrol engine with Automatic transmission, she was the height of luxury, driven by film stars and rockstars. 
This example is finished in imposing Black with sumptuous cream leather seats crowned with black piping. Every inch of its decedent interior finished to the highest standards only Bentley and Rolls Royce could offer. 
Mechanically sound and on the button she pulls well on the open road and her automatic box selects smoothly. 
Here is an opportunity to acquire a nice low mileage Mulsanne with room for cosmetic improvement at an extremely realistic estimate.

Evidence of later repaint, flaky and flat finish in localised areas, some overspray. Interior has light wear to seats and leather trimming. Marked armrest and steering wheel.
