Bentley Mulliner is not simply a trim or package—it is a world unto itself. As the oldest coachbuilding company in the world and Bentley’s in-house personalization division, Mulliner offers clients the opportunity to go far beyond standard configurations, turning their vehicles into one-of-a-kind works of automotive craftsmanship. From unique paint finishes to bespoke embroidery, Mulliner vehicles embody the full creative vision of their owners.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship Dating Back Centuries
Mulliner traces its roots to the 1500s, evolving into a coachbuilder by the 18th century and becoming synonymous with British automotive elegance throughout the 20th century. Acquired by Bentley in the 1950s, Mulliner has since become the exclusive channel for the brand’s most bespoke projects, both in terms of aesthetic design and structural reconfiguration.
Today, Mulliner offers three levels of customization:
• Mulliner Personal Commissioning: Full personalization, including custom paint, one-off veneers, unique materials, and even modified bodywork.
• Mulliner Collections: Exclusive, limited-production models with enhanced craftsmanship and curated finishes.
• Mulliner Coachbuilt: The pinnacle of bespoke work—Bentley vehicles built from the ground up to a client’s precise specifications.
Unmatched Attention to Detail
A Mulliner-commissioned Bentley is defined by the smallest details. Clients can choose from over 100 exclusive exterior colours, custom marquetry patterns, and personalized embroidery or stitching in the cabin. Whether it’s a hand-painted pinstripe or a dashboard crafted from a client’s own piece of timber, the final result is unique.
The Mulliner experience includes working with dedicated designers and artisans, offering renderings, samples, and one-on-one consultations to ensure every aspect meets the owner’s expectations.
Recent Examples of Mulliner Excellence
Models like the Bentley Batur and Bentley Bacalar showcase the future of coachbuilding. These ultra-limited vehicles are not only powerful, but each is individually commissioned and crafted by hand, serving as rolling art pieces that redefine what automotive exclusivity means.
Even more conventional models like the Continental GT and Bentayga can be transformed through the Mulliner program, incorporating rare materials, extended personalization, and design touches found nowhere else in the automotive world.
Conclusion: More Than Custom—Truly Personal
For clients who believe that luxury should be a reflection of personal vision, Bentley Mulliner offers an unmatched platform to bring that vision to life. At Bentley Montreal, we work closely with clients looking to commission a Mulliner vehicle, providing access to the world’s most exclusive automotive design process.
Bentley Mulliner isn’t about standing out—it’s about creating something no one else can.
