Bentley Flying Spur gets the fancy-pants Mulliner treatment – Roadshow [CNET]

Bentley? Give it to the folks at Mulliner. Bentley’s in-house bespoke commissioning division definitely knows a thing or two about elegance, and Mulliner’s latest creation is a special-edition Flying Spur, making its debut Friday during Monterey Car Week.

The exterior changes aren’t major, but definitely help this Flying Spur stand out. There’s a restyled front grille, silver-painted mirror caps and an electronically deploying Flying B hood ornament. The Mulliner also has a unique set of gray-painted 22-inch wheels, and the self-leveling center caps ensure the Bentley logo stays upright as the wheels turn.

Inside the Flying Spur, Mulliner’s touches are a bit more extravagant. There are eight different three-color combinations that buyers can choose from, all with the same excellent attention to detail you’d expect from a Bentley. The one you see in the accompanying photos is called Ascot, with imperial blue leather on the dashboard and doors, light tan on the seats and white piping and accents.
