Bentley’s Latest Trend: Stone!

Published on January 5, 2016 in News by Frédérick Boucher-Gaulin

Let’s suppose that you were on the verge of buying a Bentley, but were hesitating amongst the myriad of interior colours and accents. Yes, there is a very large selection of woods and metals, but none of them appeal to you and your distinguished tastes.

Bentley is now offering a new material to help set your Continental or Flying Spur apart: you will now be able to choose between four different shades of stone veneers, including Automnal White, Copper, Galaxy – the blue in the above picture - and Terra Red.

The thin veneer of quartzite and slate is only 0.1 mm thick and are extracted from a quarry in India. Once they complete their journey to England, they are they shipped to Mulliner – which handles bespoke Bentleys since the beginning of time - where they are covered in a thick layer of fiberglass and resin, before being placed on the dash of your next Bentley.

Obviously, it would be impolite to talk about price, but Bentley mentions that the material took around 200 million years to form… we expect a bill that matches this waiting period.
