You’ve got a vision of a car that expresses your personality. Perfectly. In every detail. It might be an interior or exterior combination that’s subtle, yet glamorous. Or maybe you prefer a more sporty, eclectic look. Welcome to our everyday world. The beauty of choosing a Bentley is that you can be as fastidious as you like. Your individual dreams are our sole concern. No compromises.

The starting point in any Bentley commissioning process is choice. Lots of it. Step into the world of Bentley and you’ll find a huge selection of existing colours, hides, veneers and other standard options from which to choose. You may even want to complement these choices with premium options. Ultimately, your individual requirements may lead you to something even more rare or exclusive. This is where our Mulliner ‘bespoke’ craftspeople come in, adding their magic touch. Bespoke, which literally means made to order, is the ultimate level in the commissioning process. And while all Bentleys are unique, a Mulliner Bentley is the most personal expression of all.

“We once tried to calculate all the possible permutations of exterior colour, wheels, interior trim features, veneers, main hide and secondary hide,” recalls Melinda-June Jenkins, Head of Colour and Trim. “In the end we decided there were more than a billion possible variations.” This means that Crewe could produce its current output for something like 100,000 years without making two identical cars if it so chose. The all-new Bentley Mulsanne will be offered with a choice of 24 hide colours and 28 standard paint colours. With the extended range the total comes to 114 paint colours. But all colours and options must work together in the best possible way to create a well-orchestrated statement that reflects our customers’ personalities. Our dealers are highly committed to guiding each and every customer in the commissioning process. We also encourage them to come and visit us in Crewe to gain a richer understanding. “Here, you will not only meet the people who will be creating your Bentley, but you’ll gain inspiration from the colour choices that others have made as you watch the cars make their progress down the production lines.”

“The choice is part of the pleasure,” Melinda declares. “The designers create the form. The engineers create the function. But only you – in close collaboration with our skilled craftspeople – can make a Bentley your own.”
