The exquisite Bentley Mulsanne 6.75 Edition by Mulliner will be restricted to just 30 unique examples, representing a fitting send-off for a masterpiece of British automotive engineering and craftsmanship. The car is inspired by - and takes its name from - the legendary 6.75-litre engine, which this year celebrates its 60th year in continuous production. Image Credit: Supplied

On the outside, the vehicles feature chrome-trimmed headlights and taillights. The Flying B logo on the hood, grille, and exhaust outlets have a dark tint. The vehicles ride on 21-inch five-spoke wheels with gloss black pockets. To continue the aesthetic, opening the hood reveals an engine intake in black rather than the usual silver.
