Bentley Crewe factory 80th anniversary

Overview

Bentley’s Mulliner division has produced a unique, one-off Continental GT Azure to commemorate the 80th anniversary of production at the company’s Crewe factory. The custom vehicle is designed as a tribute to the 1946 Bentley Mark VI, which was the first model manufactured at the plant.

The commemorative model utilizes a Barnato Green exterior with a Mulliner Black roof to mirror the historic two-tone livery of the original Mark VI. While the vehicle incorporates modern hardware, such as 22-inch wheels and carbon-fiber styling, the interior features Cricket Ball red and Beluga leather alongside burr walnut trim inspired by the 1946 dashboard. The tribute car was displayed at the British Motor Museum alongside the original Mark VI from the Bentley Heritage Collection.
