The UK only Bentley Mulsanne 95th Anniversary. In 2014, Mulliner wanted to find a fitting homage to mark a proud anniversary for Bentley: 95 years of crafting and producing the world’s finest handmade cars. This became the very special Mulliner Limited Edition: the Mulsanne 95.
So what makes this addition distinctive? Well, for starters a walnut tree, deep-rooted in the heart of England, in the grounds of Fulbeck Hall, a fine country house in Lincolnshire became a significant part of the Bentley Mulsanne 95th Anniversary.
In 2007, The great storm of Britain hit, with fierce winds leaving many a toppled tree in its wake, including the beautiful Fulbeck walnut. Now, this is where the Mulsanne 95th comes into it. It was Bentley who rescued the 350-year-old root ball of that very tree and took it to their workshops in Crewe. From this unique Fulbeck walnut, a team of highly skilled crafts people would lovingly create meticulous marquetry for the bespoke veneers of the Bentley Mulsanne 95. This rare and impressively enhanced Mulsanne was unveiled in London to celebrate Bentley’s 95th anniversary.
Three bespoke colours were created by Mulliner for this edition,
Britannia Blue, Empire Red and Oxford White.
Remember this is Bentley so any colour or options could be ordered.
Each edition was hand-finished at Bentley’s own paint shop, with each colour reflecting the proud heritage and British roots. The remainder of the car was ‘standard’ Mulsanne but with a few neat touches…

The stunning attention to detail and limited source of wood meant this £330,000 edition was going to be very special and extremely limited. Just 15 cars were to be made for the UK only. It’s believed one is finished in Grey or it is possible that one extra car was specially made for a customer in the north of the UK. This still needs to be confirmed. Either way, this is truly one very special and rare car… *update April 2021, this is correct; one is grey. I was told this information originally by JCT600 but I needed confirmation. The grey one is believed to be owned by an avid Bentley collector. Also, one was sold recently via the Collecting Cars website in Black Sapphire.
Here’s the Black Sapphire car… strangely it doesn’t look any different from a normal Mulsanne… and that it cost £14k extra to have it in this colour has to be thought about. ©collectingcars.com
———————————————-
A white one had been used as an HROwen chauffeur car for a few years.
So, this concludes that 13 of the cars are a mix of the original 3 colours, one in Grey (possibly, Dark Cashmere) and the Black Sapphire, making a total of 15 UK cars.
This is the UK UK-only brochure with an intro flyer. Nearly as rare as the car!
I have only managed to find 5 of the 15 cars to date… help is certainly needed on this one…
More to come on this edition in due course… Mike

Hi James. I know a maximum of 15 were to be made available for the UK in the 3 colours… but as yet, I still search weekly and still no more have appeared for sale! This will be a rare one. However, I don’t doubt they did the 15, these type of cars rarely come up for sale, usually, the owner’s keep them as part of a collection, not ‘needing’ to sell them. If you hear of or find any info, let me know… Thanks for getting in touch, much appreciated. Mike
