Bentley Mulliner Olympia Collection
In 1924, after a road race through France, W.O. Bentley decided his engine needed to be bigger, and as a result, a six-cylinder 6½ Litre was shown at London's Olympia Motor Show in 1926. For that centenary, Mulliner, Bentley's bespoke division, is building 12 Continental GTs. Each car's paint fades from forest green on the nose to near-black Midnight Emerald on the tail. The finish takes 56 hours by hand, and Champagne Gold highlights the badges, pinstripe and wheel faces. When a door opens, a light projects the Lyon-to-Dieppe route onto the ground, and the same route is embroidered across the ski hatch. The cabin pairs Coach Green and Cumbrian Green leather with black-stained walnut. Every owner also receives a Brooklands chronograph numbered to match the car.
