Hand-made Bentley built bespoke for the late Queen Elizabeth II goes on sale for estimated £400,000

Daily Mail · 15 minutes ago

Queen Elizabeth II's bespoke 2016 Bentley Mulsanne has been put up for auction by Broad Arrow, with an estimated hammer price of £400,000. This extended-wheelbase model is the only one of its kind ever to enter private ownership after royal service, having been specially adapted to the late Queen's personal requirements during royal engagements from 2016 to 2019. The sale represents a rare opportunity for the public to acquire a vehicle so intimately connected with the Royal Family.

The Mulsanne features numerous bespoke interior elements, including Cumbrian green leather, burr walnut veneers, and lambswool carpeting throughout the rear cabin. During her ownership, the Queen travelled in it at official engagements including British Champions Day and royal visits, though the vehicle rarely exceeded 9 miles per hour. The car, powered by a 6.8-litre V8 engine, has only covered 6,000 miles and was maintained by Bentley dealership Jack Barclay after being acquired by a private collection in March 2024, following its decommissioning when a newer Mulsanne was delivered in 2019.
