Greetings to all, I am placing my 1991 Bentley Mulsanne S up for auction. Interests have changed and I'm changing my collection to reflect  just that. Bentley Motorcars produced the Mulsanne model from 1980 to 1992 as a performance luxury car. There were significant changes from 1989 until the end of production. It lacks the turbocharger of the Turbo R model, but is equipped with the alloy wheels and interior styling of the Turbo R. With electronically controlled suspension, "tuned for more spirited driving" (as indicated on the original window price sticker, $144,100 MSRP) it handles superbly. The ride and handling difference from my Rolls Royce was immediately noticeable.  There was a total production run of 970 of this model, of which 909 were short wheel base models, approximately 75 per year. The body style is that of the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit, as during this time period both were manufactured by Rolls Royce Motorcars, Inc. in Crewe, Cheshire, England. Finished in black with Silverstone grey interior piped same the exterior and interior are in fine condition for a 22 year old motorcar. There are the normal minor scratches and dings associated with age but are hardly noticeable. Interior leather upholstery, facia and capping rails are in fine condition as well. The tires are nearly new and have few miles on them, all four alloys are "curb rash" free. Included in the sale is the original window price sticker, all of the original owners manuals/warranty books/cards, original key and remote entry/alarm fob. All small & large tools are present in the boot. I have serviced the vehicle myself during my period of stewardship and have never had any problems. As with older vehicles, it does have some issues that are minor and in all fairness to you, the potential next steward, I will point them out. First, the gas gauge reads "E" when full and doesn't begin to work until approximately a half tank of petrol has been consumed.  It's been that way since I purchased it (April, 2007) and I've just used the odometer to keep me posted on the tank. (2) There is some delamination happening in the rear window (see photo). (3) There is slight wear to the driver's seat which I understand can be re-dyed as Connolly leather is surface dyed. All other seats are excellent. There are no cracks or rips in any of the seats. (4) The memory seats/mirrors are intermittently operating, I changed the batteries in the ECU's about two years ago but this problem just began.  A close friend and RR/Bentley mechanic offers refurbished ECU's, I will gladly get you in contact with him if you wish. (5) The "brake pressure" light  blinks momentarily as the brakes are applied, I believe because approximately 1,000 miles ago I replaced the rear gas spring accumulators and may not have properly bled the system. Perhaps a re-bleed will eliminate this problem. There is no brake issue, the motorcar stops as it should. (6) There is a slight leak in the rack & pinion unit, I've always just kept it topped up with the correct fluid. and finally, the vehicle does come with a set of lambs wool floor mats which probably should be professionally cleaned and re-dyed if you wished.

I'm sure you'll be happy with this motorcar, It turns heads wherever it goes and will provide you with hours of motoring pleasure. The best part.....you can enjoy this vehicle for a small investment. Please ask questions before bidding as your bids are legally binding. I would request a $500 non-refundable deposit within 3 days of the close of the auction and the clear NYS title (mileage exempt, vehicles over 10 years of age)will be delivered upon payment of the balance in full. Shipping of course, is to be arranged for and paid by the buyer.

2015 Bentley Flying Spur V8

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Despite Bentley's reputation as a holier-than-thou, ultra-luxury brand, at the end of the day, the Big B is still a business. As such, ongoing trends like powertrain downsizing and model range expansion are more prevalent at Bentley than ever. Just look at the Continental range - what started as the GT W12 has expanded into the GTC W12, GT V8, GT V8 S, GTC V8, GTC V8 S, GT Speed and GTC Speed. Talk about "have it your way."
But there's good reason for that. So many of these vehicles, despite their hand-crafted, bespoke nature, are all - gasp! - plug-and-play exercises that allow Bentley to appeal to the broadest range of upper-lux buyers, while keeping development costs relatively low. It's a move that's indeed worked, the company managing to post healthy sales increases year after year. And that's only going to get better, following the launch of the Flying Spur sedan last year, not to mention the upcoming, highly anticipated SUV that's in the works. As Kevin Rose, Bentley's member of the board for sales, marketing and aftersales told me recently, "The best years are yet to come."
To further expand an already growing range, I recently hopped a plane to London to experience the second member of the Flying Spur family - the V8. This less-powerful Spur offers better fuel efficiency and a lower staring price, while not compromising any of the brand's core values of luxury and refinement above all. But to paraphrase what executive editor Chris Paukert said when he drove the Conti GT V8 in 2012, this is indeed The Thinking Man's Flying Spur. Here, less really is more.

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program

Tue, 04 Oct 2011

You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.

Bentley Continental Flying Spur taking shape

Wed, 26 Sep 2012

The redesigned Bentley Continental Flying Spur has again been caught undergoing testing, though this time away from public roads while tackling the Nürburgring's 154 turns. The car we see in these new spy shots also reveals more of the Flying Spur's new lines, which we expect to largely mirror the shape already seen on the new Continental GT and GTC models.
Likewise, the new four-door Continental will probably come with the same engine options as the coupe and convertible: the tried and true 6.0-liter W12 making 567 horsepower and the new twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 producing 500 hp. Its two stablemates were also updated with an eight-speed transmission for 2012, so expect the Spur to swap that many gears, as well.
Really, the only unknowns left are how Bentley will be handling the four-door specific design elements like the shape of the rear end, which is somewhat obscured by this car's checkerboard camo, as well as when the sedan will debut. We've received no indication thus far that Bentley is planning to use the Paris Motor Show, which happens later this week, for the Flying Spur's unveiling. That leaves a string of upcoming shows where it could happen, including the LA Auto Show, Detroit Auto Show and Geneva Motor Show.
