The Appeal

The last Bentley to feature the firm’s in-house 6.75L V8 and the first fully independent new saloon since the 8-litre 90 years previously. Two good reasons to want a Mulsanne, but, of course, there are many more.

These twin-turbocharged limousines were fitting additions to the firm’s lineage of big saloons that could match supercars for looks and performance. This one must be amongst the high specification and lowest mileage available. It has covered less than 25,000 miles in the hands of two-keepers over 13 years. Despite the sparse use, the service history has been kept up to date with regular visits to Bentley, most recently 500 miles ago. It is a mark of the condition that the car has never had a MOT advisory.

The car has been in storage since 2021 but has been recently MOT’d. The current test runs to the end of April 2025 with no advisories.

This is a very highly specified Bentley with miniscule mileage. For those seeking the best in high performance sporting saloon luxury, is there really an alternative to a Bentley Mulsanne?
