The Mulliner Olympia Collection comprises 12 exclusive Continental GTs, specified to honour the original 1926 Bentley 6 ½ Litre.
Bentley Motors has revealed the exclusive Mulliner Olympia Collection to mark 100 years of engineering history. The collection features 12 handcrafted Continental GT models. Mulliner built these vehicles to honour the spirit of founder W.O. Bentley. The release marks a century since the 1926 Olympia Motor Show debut of the six-cylinder 6 ½ Litre Bentley.
The historic pursuit of W.O. Bentley
The story of the collection traces back to the original 3 Litre model launched in 1921. Demand quickly grew for a larger chassis to handle heavier coachwork. A famous road test in 1924 saw W.O. Bentley race a six-cylinder prototype against a key rival from Lyon to Dieppe. Bentley won the sprint but immediately increased engine capacity to 6.5 litres to ensure the brand remained ahead of all competition.
The Bentley Mulliner Olympia Collection is inspired by racing history
Every model in the Bentley Mulliner Olympia Collection features a unique Ombré by Mulliner paint finish. Skilled technicians spend 56 hours blending Verdant and Midnight Emerald paint across the bodywork. Champagne Gold accents detail the bodywork, badging, and 22-inch black wheels. Blackline specification trim covers the matrix grille and rear diffuser, while door light projections depict the historic French road trip.
The cabin of the Bentley Mulliner Olympia Collection features Cumbrian Green and heritage-patinated Coach Green hides. Black stained open-pore walnut veneers trim the dashboard alongside diamond-knurled dials. Seat piping, controls, and steering wheel box stitching feature Champagne Gold detailing. Rear ski hatches display embroidered maps of the original Lyon to Dieppe route.
Exclusive Collector handover accessories
Owners of the Olympia Collection receive a custom green car cover and a hardcover book detailing the vehicle development. Each car includes a matching handover box and a numbered Brooklands watch. The mechanical watch features a Coach Green hide strap, custom graphics, and dual interchangeable tachymeter bezels designed for circuit timing.
