Vehicle Description
Bentley Mulsanne S - Limited production Out of some 10,000 Bentleys
built with this body style, only 900 were the Mulsanne S model.
Only 47 were delivered to the US in 1991. This is one of those.
Here is a really stunning looking Bentley Mulsanne S finished in
Old Ivory with 2-tone biscuit tan ("Saddle") Connolly hides with
off-white seat piping. This Mulsanne S presents with the "sportsman
package" colour combination, saddle tan padded top, chrome alloy
wheels and twin headlamps. The car is handsomely finished off with
gold twin fine lines to the waist-rails. This is the 9th Mulsanne S
for the model year 1991. Only 47 x 1991 Mulsanne S cars were
delivered new to the USA. This example was delivered new to Terry
York Motor Cars Ltd., Encino CA, on 21 Dec 1990. The Bentley
Mulsanne S is powered by a 6.75 litre Rolls-Royce designed and
built V8 engine with the Bosch fuel injecton system and carries
with it many of the options featured on the Bentley Turbo R but
without the turbo-charger. She is nonetheless quite spritely and is
a beautiful cruiser that still exudes that V8 bass growl under
power. With the Saddle top over the Old Ivory, this is indeed a
handsome example. It is the country-man's Bentley and yet looks
quite the part in any setting. A Californian car its whole life,
this one is a well maintained example with a good clean Car-fax
history. It has recently been thru Park-Ward's workshop inspection
and preparation process with anything requiring doing attended to
accordingly. Mechanically, she is in good shape. Under the bonnet,
the presentation is amazing. It has not been precision detailed but
simply kept clean and tidy throughout its life. The car's features
and functions are in good order. Electric windows all work well and
smooth, central locking, mirrors and all gauges in good operation.
Heater blows hot and A/C is ice cold with the climate control
working as it should. All interior and exterior lights operate
correctly. The body of the car is straight and the paint deep in
lustre and consistency. It does have a few minor little chips,
micro-crazing and marks but these are few and only show if one
looks hard. Otherwise it is very shiny without any fading, dents or
dings. Rubbers, mouldings, badges and external fittings are all in
good condition. The interior on this car is quite stunning. The
Connolly leather shows beautifully and is very original. It appears
to have been reconnollised and remains very soft and supple without
any signs of significant wear. The dark Mahogany straight-grain
wood finish throughout, unique to the Mulsanne, is all original and
showing virtually no marks. The exception is the 2 front door
capping which have some hair-line lacquer cracks in the top surface
of the lacquer. Carpets, seats, dash, headlining and fixtures are
truly excellent and I best encourage you to look at all the photos
to fully appreciate how nicely the interior presents. Other factory
fitted features to the car are rear vanity mirrors which were not
standard fitment to the Mulsanne. Tyres are low miles Hankook
whitewalls in excellent condition. The chrome alloys are very clean
without any scuffs, pitting or fading. The car comes with its
correct manual, jack and tools, of course. The car is of very high
standard and is an easy 9 out of 10 driver rating. Body Style:
SEDAN 4-DR
