Bentley Mulliner showcases Private White V.C. Bentayga

MANILA: Bentley’s bespoke division, Mulliner, has revealed its latest commission — the Private White V.C. Bentayga.

In true Bentley Mulliner fashion, the Private White V.C. Bentayga exudes the brand’s iconic craftsmanship and attention to detail.

“Bentley Motors is proud to announce the limited edition one-of-one Private White V.C. Bentayga, by Mulliner. This bespoke Bentayga commissioned by Bentley Manchester and Mulliner is a true expression of British heritage, handmade craftsmanship, and luxury fashion that both Private White V.C. and Bentley Motors represent,” Bentley wrote in a press release.

The very limited Bentley Bentayga Private White V.C. was inspired by Private Jack White, a soldier who enlisted to help the war effort in World War 1. He made it back home and was dutifuly awarded the Victoria Cross for his gallantry by saving an officer, men, and equipment by tying a copper telephone line around himself, and swimming across a river under heavy gunfire to rescue others.

On that note, the commissioned Bentley Bentayga Azure featured multiple copper detailing throughout the cabin including seat piping, embroidery, and bespoke features, representing the copper telephone line.

Further, clean purposeful sewing lines were applied to the seats and door interiors to reflect the style and functionality of military-inspired clothing. Bespoke embroidery including the Victoria Cross emblem on the headrests and Private White V.C. lettering finish the cabin details off perfectly.

It also has cushions crafted from a Lancashire-woven cashmere cloth, which Bentley pointed out, were commissioned exclusively to commemorate Jack White’s regimental blanket stripe.

Bentley also added organ stops finished in anodized copper and a silhouette of “Cottenham House” on the dashboard. Bespoke treadplates and embroidered bulldogs in the door pockets come in as easter eggs inside the Bentley Bentayga Private White V.C. commission.

The exterior of the Bentayga is finished in Dark Sapphire with contemporary Blackline Specification and rear privacy glass. It wears custom 22-inch wheels that are color-matched to the body paint, which provides a dark canvas for the Private White V.C. bespoke badging and subtle copper accents.

The lucky Bentley client who now owns the Private White V.C. Bentayga will receive a capsule collection of bespoke clothing from Private White V.C. as part of this unique curation.
