Imagine coming across the last-ever Bentley Mulsanne EWB commissioned for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and witnessing how jaw-droppingly stunning the car is.
That is what Tom Callaghan from the supercarseurope Instagram account has shown off, having found the car on display at the Bentley Heritage Collection at their UK headquarters.
As the last Mulsanne ever made, it holds a special place in the heart of the British car company, especially with its connections to the Royal Family.
Callaghan’s video gave us a good look at the car, while Bentley itself has spoken about this amazing vehicle in great detail.
Why this last-ever Bentley Mulsanne EWB is so special
Naturally, the connection to the Royal Family is what makes this car so incredible.
The last Mulsanne ever built, the late Queen Elizabeth II commissioned the car in 2020 as part of the Royal fleet.
Head of the Bentley Heritage Collection, Mike Sayer, spoke to Supercar Blondie about the car.
“Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Mulsanne EWB is the very last Mulsanne that was built, and it returned to Bentley after her passing,” he said.
“With the permission of the Royal Household, we have retained the features of her specification, which include the Royal crest inlaid in the door waistrails and the absence of front armrests, making space for a storage area for her handbag,” Sayer added.
Rear privacy curtains were also added to the interior.
One of the most interesting features of the car is the blue lights, as Sayer explained to Supercar Blondie.
“As a car that saw royal service, the car is fitted with blue lights, a siren, and a bullhorn – all of which are still functional,” he told us.
With the extended wheelbase, the Queen and her late husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, had a bit more legroom over the standard model.
What happened to the Bentley after its service finished?
When new, the car cost a staggering $371, 555.
The car was also part of the ‘final 30’ series of Mulsannes, with coachbuilder Mulliner helping design it.
Finished in stunning Barnato Green, the car served with Queen Elizabeth II until her death in 2022.
Following this, the car returned to the manufacturer in 2023, becoming part of the Heritage Collection.
“The car will forever be retained by Bentley as part of its 52-car Heritage Collection,” said Sayer.
“Every car in the fleet is kept in fully working order – taxed, tested, and ready to use – and the Mulsanne EWB is no exception,” he added.
This is where content creator Callaghan found the car.
Under the hood, the Bentley Mulsanne EWB has a 529hp 6.75-liter V8.
Once it returned to the company, the car sat alongside a 2010 Mulsanne and a 2019 Mulsanne Speed.
The car is firmly part of the legacy of the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
“This is a special car for Bentley, both as the last example of the Mulsanne and in memory of Her Late Majesty, and it’s an instant favourite for everyone who visits the Collection,” Sayer told us.
Long may this Bentley Mulsanne EWB continue to delight visitors to the Bentley Heritage Collection.
