1990 Bentley Mulsanne S
***NO RESERVE*** Only 63,000 miles and comes with its cherished registration
Registration - G11 VOW
Chassis No. - SCBZS00AXLCH32946
M.O.T. - August 2025
Odometer - 63,000
With its delightfully appropriate personalised registration number, ‘G11 VOW’ has been doing sterling service as wedding transport since January 2021. This archetypal wedding head turner is being offered with NO RESERVE and comes complete with its personalised registration plate which itself is worth several hundreds of pounds. The current keeper is ‘G11 VOW’s’ twelfth with a very sensible 63,781 miles having been covered to date. The Mulsanne S shares many enhancements with the range topping Turbo R model making ‘G11 VOW’ well equipped and appointed even by exalted Bentley standards. Complete with an advisory free MOT valid until August 2025, ‘G11 VOW’ comes with copious maintenance records back to the 1990’s.
‘G11 VOW’ today presents in bright Polar White livery, updated from the original red hue in 2010. The condition appears to be very sound with the current keeper reporting no dents or dings. The quad, round headlamps and turbine style, 15-inch alloy wheels are hallmarks of the Mulsanne’s ‘S’ specification. The latter are fitted with a matching set of 70 profile Nexen tyres to help insulate brides and grooms from the dreaded potholes still further. The sublime and commodious cabin is awash with Parchment Conolly hides, deep lambswool carpets in Cherry Red and varnished burr walnut veneers. It’s a heady combination and presents nicely and conducive to ‘G11 VOW’s’ sensible mileage. Electric everything is order of the day and there is a contemporary Alpine head unit fitted – presumably playing “Chapel of Love” on repeat.
‘G11 VOW’ utilises the long serving 6.75-litre, V8, L-series engine. Optimised for refinement and whaftability rather than raw power, the robust unit still endows the Bentley with an impressive turn of speed if and when needed. The Turbo R, stiffened underpinnings lend a surprising level of control, too. The current owner reports that ‘G11 VOW’ delivers a beautiful drive coupled with both elegance and poise.
In summary:
- The more accomplished ‘S’ model complete with valuable registration number
- Diligently maintained with ample supporting documentation
- A head turning example in a bright, wedding friendly livery
