Bentley Manila showcases extensive Mulliner customization program

Bentley has taken pride in allowing the lucky few customers who can spec their vehicles right down to the preferred paint finish, leather upholstery, as well as the choice of trim accents inside the cabin. However, those who prefer something more exquisite and personally customized can do more via the brand’s coachbuilder, Mulliner.

Mulliner of England is one such coachbuilder, arguably the finest of its time. The company, which originally produced saddles for horses in the 16th century and coaches in the 19th century, made a significant switch in the 20th century by creating exquisitely handcrafted car bodies and cabins, each designed to meet their clients’ exacting requirements.

Today, Mulliner continues that tradition with Bentley since it became a part of the company in 1959. And just like the brand’s clients all over the world, Bentley Manila is available for PH customers to avail of. Mulliner offers a range of products and services, from premium options that can be fitted to Bentley production cars as they are built to truly unique bespoke luxury cars such as the Bentley Bacalar and the latest Bentley Batur.

“Here’s what Mulliner brings to the table: It responds to the requirements of Bentley's most discerning customers. Today, we have the pleasure of delving into the world of unparalleled craftsmanship with the Bentley Mulliner program. It pushes the boundaries of design, performance, and engineering in crafting Bentleys that are as thrilling to drive as they are captivating to behold,” said Christopher Chan, Bentley Manila Managing Director, PGA Cars Inc.

Customers who truly want a customized vehicle can choose from a wide array of wood veneers, a limitless palette of colors & types of leathers, custom hand-stitching, as well as the ability to select what type of material you would want inside the cabin. It is that exclusivity that makes Bentley so successful at selling cars like the Bentayga, Flying Spur, and Continental to the most discerning clientele.

With year-to-date orders exceeding the entire year of 2021, Bentley Manila also has simplified offerings that consist of three new Mulliner tiers; Mulliner Coachbuilt, Mulliner Bespoke, and Curated ‘By Mulliner. Curated “By Mulliner” serves as a great start to make your car distinct from the rest. With Mulliner’s curated premium range of solid, metallic, satin, and pearlescent paints, it’s easy to make your ride a sure head-turner on the road. The range also includes duo-tone options for the Bentayga, featuring pairs of colors selected by Mulliner’s designers to enhance the car’s sleek form.

Mulliner Bespoke Bentleys, on the other hand, offers a wide range of stunning bespoke finishes, including specialty veneers and precious metals, making the Bentley a distinctive ride. Materials like ancient stone veneers, glittering 18-carat gold-plated organ stops, and pinstriped and painted veneers are mostly unavailable to other car manufacturers.

Last but not least is Mulliner Coachbuilt. This one serves as the ultimate in personal commissioning as the Mulliner Coachbuilt team of designers, engineers, and artisans can bring your dreams to life. Combining their skills with modern sustainable design, cutting-edge engineering, and innovation, the Bentleys produced not only exceed the unique demands of those who commission them but also set new standards in luxury design. These specific Bentleys are very limited, with exclusive production runs that buyers can tailor to their personal tastes.

“Driving a Bentley is a statement of success, but a Bentley Mulliner is a true expression of one’s individuality. It's a car crafted to one’s desires, a testament to one’s discerning taste, and a legacy that will endure for generations,” added Chan.

Those lucky enough to purchase their own Bentley are encouraged to fully take advantage of the countless customization options that are available from the Crewe-based automaker.
