Bentley Celebrates Its Heritage with Three Unique Flying Spurs Honoring 60, 40, and 20 Years of Automotive Excellence

By  | 

Mulliner unveils three exclusive editions of the Flying Spur inspired by the Series T, Turbo R, and Continental Flying Spur — a true tribute to British luxury and engineering evolution.

Bentley has chosen to honor its storied legacy with a triple creation that embodies craftsmanship, power, and history. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the 1965 Series T, the 40th anniversary of the 1985 Turbo R, and the 20th anniversary of the 2005 Continental Flying Spur, the Crewe-based marque commissioned its prestigious Mulliner division to craft three one-off Flying Spur models, each reinterpreting the spirit of a milestone car that shaped Bentley’s modern identity.

Flying Spur Azure: A Tribute to Comfort and Refinement

The first homage goes to the 1965 Series T, the very first Bentley to feature a monocoque chassis, setting a new benchmark for comfort and sophistication. Its modern tribute, the Flying Spur Azure, wears an elegant Shell Grey finish paired with a blue-grey leather interior and walnut veneer, evoking timeless British elegance. Beneath the bonnet lies a 680-hp plug-in hybrid powertrain that blends performance and efficiency, while vertical chrome accents and fluid body lines underscore its refined character.

Flying Spur Speed: The Turbo R’s Sporting Legacy Reborn

The 1985 Turbo R marked Bentley’s dynamic revival, introducing a 298-hp turbocharged V8 and a driving experience unlike anything the brand had offered before. Its contemporary reinterpretation, the Flying Spur Speed, features a 782-hp plug-in hybrid system capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, rivaling modern supercars. Finished in Brooklands Green with yellow detailing, its cabin combines Linen and Cumbrian Green leather with Signal Yellow stitching, a bold blend of sophistication and sportiness that embodies Mulliner’s bespoke artistry.

Flying Spur Mulliner: Luxury that Defined the Modern Era

The 2005 Continental Flying Spur ushered in Bentley’s modern era under the Volkswagen Group, merging handcrafted luxury with performance exceeding 300 km/h. Its updated homage boasts 22-inch Dark Grey Satin wheels, a two-tone green and Saddle interior, and Burr Walnut inlays with green pinstripes, paying tribute to the Grand Touring spirit that defined the original.

Exclusive Creations for the Bentley Heritage Collection

These three one-off masterpieces will not be available for purchase. Instead, they join the Bentley Heritage Collection, a fleet of 50 historically significant models preserved in perfect working order at Crewe. With these unique Flying Spurs, Bentley reaffirms its commitment to tradition, innovation, and timeless craftsmanship, maintaining its status as a benchmark of British automotive luxury across generations.
