Up for auction is my 1991 Bentley Mulsanne S. Interests have changed and I'm changing some of the vehicles in my collection and have decided to place the Bentley up for sale. The Mulsanne model was manufactured by Bentley Motors Limited from 1980 to 1992. It is based on the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit/Silver Spur models introduced at the same time and manufactured in the same factory in Crewe. The Mulsanne S series began in 1987 with just 970 produced in total until 1992. The Mulsanne S is a non-turbocharged model which has many of the features and details of the Turbo R (alloy wheels & interior) with a firmed up suspension "tuned for more spirited driving" (as listed on the original price sticker ($144,297.00), included in the sale). This Bentley is finished in black with a Silverstone Grey interior, piped same. The interior woodwork is in excellent condition, the drivers seat shows some sign of wear but there is no cracking or tears in the leather. I understand it can be redyed to freshen its appearance. It has traveled just over 80,000 miles since new, just a little over 6,000 miles a year. I am the second owner of this beautiful motorcar. The sale includes all original paperwork that I have, and of course, the original owners manual/books in their silk-lined leather case. As noted, there are some, what I consider minor, issues with the vehicle and I will describe them as best and accurately as I can. First off, there is some slight delamination/fogging of the rear windscreen (see photo). The gas gauge does not function properly, I suspect it is a faulty ground which I haven't traced. It reads "empty" when full and doesn't start to function until it is 1/2 to 1/4 tank. I have always used the odometer to determine when to fill up. The memory seat/mirrors ECM on occasion will not function properly. I replaced the internal batteries a few years ago so that is not the problem, the units are available after market either on a new or rebuilt basis. I replaced the spheres in the rear suspension approximately 1,000 miles ago and since that time, the "brake pressure" light blinks momentarily when the brakes are applied. There is no issue with either the braking or suspension, I believe another thorough bleeding of the hydraulic system will eliminate the problem. There is a slight leak in the power steering rack/pinion. I just top it up as necessary. The unit is available rebuilt in the after market or you could have it rebuilt locally using genuine Crewe parts. The lambswool overlays should be freshened with a cleaning and redying should you so desire and finally, reports on the vehicle history indicate an accident. I have spoken with the original owner/purchaser and he assured me that the vehicle was never in an accident and believes that this reported event may in fact be the paint work that was done under warranty by the Rolls Royce/Bentley dealer where he purchased the motorcar. I didn't ask him where the paint work was done on the vehicle but I honestly cannot find any evidence of this repair or any other repairs to the coachwork. I have placed the reserve price fairly to allow for the repair costs of these issues. I'm sure you'll be very happy with this fine motorcar if you are the high bidder. The motorcar has a clear NYS title "mileage exempt" (over 10 years titles do not show mileage in NYS).

Volkswagen names new chief designer for Bentley
Thu, Jun 4 2015The Volkswagen Group has named one of its own to head up the design department at its Bentley division. The role now falls to Stefan Sielaff, who has been with the group (off and on) since 1990. Sielaff is principally an interior designer, but has been tasked with setting up numerous overall design offices for Volkswagen and Audi over the years. In his new capacity he'll be reporting to the group's chief engineer Rolf Frech (and oddly not to Bentley chief Wolfgang Durheimer), but at the same time, Sielaff will retain his role as head of interior design for the entire VW group, reporting to its chief designer Walter de Silva. Sielaff replaces Luc Donckerwolke, who has headed up Bentley design since 2012 and is leaving the company. We'll be on the lookout to see where Donckerwolke lands next. Crewe/Wolfsburg, 04 June 2015 Stefan Sielaff to head design at the Bentley brand • Sielaff also responsible for Group Interior Design Strategy Stefan Sielaff (53), currently Head of the Volkswagen Design Center in Potsdam, will assume responsibility for design at the Bentley brand effective July 1, 2015 in addition to his present post as Head of Group Interior Design Strategy. As Director of Design at Bentley, Sielaff succeeds Luc Donckerwolke (49), who held this function since 2012. Stefan Sielaff joined the Volkswagen Group in 1990, beginning his career in the interior design department at Audi. From 1995 the design graduate was entrusted with setting up the Group's Design Center Europe in Spain. In 1997 he was placed in charge of the Design Studio in Munich and was appointed Head of Audi Interior Design in the same year. In 2003 Sielaff moved to DaimlerChrysler as Design Director of the Interior Competence Center, returning to the Volkswagen Group in 2006 to become Head of Audi Design before being appointed Head of the Volkswagen Design Center in Potsdam und Head of Group Interior Design Strategy in 2012. In his new function as Director of Design at Bentley, Sielaff reports to Rolf Frech, Board Member for Engineering. In his function as Head of Group Interior Design Strategy he continues to report to Walter de Silva, Head of Group Design. Luc Donckerwolke has decided to leave the company. De Silva said: "Luc Donckerwolke has played a key role in the design of various Group brands. We would like to thank him for his work."

Bentley Continental GT V8 S is just a little bit more excess [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Bentley has given its new, uprated Continental GT and GTC a live debut in Frankfurt, after a world debut on the interwebs, last week. The new models, which now wear the "V8 S" moniker, share their 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 with the standard GT/GTC V8, but pack an extra 21 horsepower and 15 pound-feet of torque.
There's also a few suspension and aesthetic tweaks to improve the Continental driving experience. Otherwise, this is just a slightly improved version of an already solid, entertaining and luxurious grand tourer. Scroll down for the official images and a video from Bentley, or hop up top to view our live images from the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Xcar spots the differences of refreshed Bentley Continental GT
Tue, Jul 21 2015Bentley unfurled the details about the refresh of its second-generation Continental GT earlier this year and gave the high-speed cruiser an official unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show. Even with the tweaks, the British brand kept its most popular model very refined, though. If you're still having a problem spotting all the differences for this posh coupe, Xcar is here to help with an informative new video. Rather than putting the focus exclusively on driving impressions, Xcar really leans heavily into listing the specific updates for the latest Conti GT. Beyond the updated front end, likely the most obvious change for the refreshed model are the big, B-shaped pieces of chrome trim around the side vents. If not obvious already, they make it exceedingly clear that this is a Bentley. A neat touch is the nip and tuck at the rear to create a spoiler on the trunk lid, which does a great job of communicating the intent of the company's sporty model. Xcar ranks the Continental GT as Britain's best grand tourer, although this video doesn't really explain why in much detail. If you learn about all of the coupe's changes from this clip but still want to know how the vehicle drives, check out Autoblog's First Drive of both the V8 and W12 models for a much more thorough impression.
