Bentley Mulliner unveils the Equestrian Edition

A special one-off Continental GT Convertible has been commissioned by Bentley’s dealer in Bristol. Named the Equestrian Edition, it’s inspired by Cheltenham Racecourse.

On the outside, fetching Spruce paintwork is combined with a gloss black finish for the various trim pieces and 22” Mulliner Driving Specification wheels.

There’s quite a broad mix of colours and textures inside. Tan hide covers the seats, while a dark green shade was chosen for the secondary upholstery elements and the carpets. In addition, diamond-quilted tweed fabric inserts appear on the doors and rear cabin panels.

To complete the transformation, a horse and jockey is embroidered onto the head restraints. The same motif also decorates the burr walnut dashboard.

With Mulliner’s operations set to expand, Bentley has reorganised it into three distinct business areas. In fact, the first creation by the ‘Collections’ team (which modifies cars from the core range) is the Equestrian Edition. The other two streams are ‘Classic’ (restorations and continuations) and ‘Coachbuilt’ (limited-volume bespoke vehicles such as the recent Bacalar).

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
