The first Bentley Speed Six<\/a> in 93 years is now taking shape in the workshops of Mulliner, Bentley\u2019s in-house bespoke and coachbuilding division. Its creation unites the skills of British engineering and restoration specialists with those of Mulliner\u2019s team of master technicians. Twelve Continuation Series Speed Sixes will be built, using period-correct materials and techniques to ensure total fidelity to W.O. Bentley\u2019s original design.<\/p>\n
