Bentley brings a tribute to its founder Walter Owen Bentley. Does the brand with the special Mulsanne W. O. Edition by Mulliner.
Only one hundred copies going to Bentley to build the Mulsanne W. O. Edition by Mulliner. It is a very special version as a tribute to Walter Owen Bentley, the founder of the brand.
In the interior is a piece of the original crankshaft of the second Bentley 8 Litre ever produced by the brand, in the years ‘30. This was the car of Walter Owen Bentley himself’. The piece of the crankshaft is to be seen behind a glass panel of the middensteun in the back. The on Bentley 8 Litre is still available. The crankshaft of the car was in 2006 replaced by a new one.
The interior of the W. O. Edition is decorated with four kinds of wood, the finest leather and lambswool. The ‘table’ in the back of houses not only a piece of classical crankshaft, but also includes a sketch of the Bentley 8 Litre. On the seats, the dashboard and the plaque with the serial number, the signature of W. O. Bentley made.
