Bentley Mulsanne: Rare 'Shooting Brake' set for auction
The Mulsanne "Shooting Brake" only saw 12 models made. Perhaps it's just as well that no more were produced...
An extremely luxurious estate car is a very rare breed. It's no wonder, as this type of bodywork isn't usually associated with splendour. However, there are exceptions, and the model presented here is one of them.
This is the Bentley Mulsanne Turbo "Shooting Brake" created by the British workshop Coway, which specialises in building and modifying custom bodywork. In the 1980s, Coway produced 12 Mulsanne models with estate car bodies, based on the standard saloon.
The aesthetics of this project are highly debatable, but one cannot deny its uniqueness. The peculiar character is further enhanced by its yellow-brown paint, which is sure to catch the eye of any passer-by.
Aside from the drawbacks, the obvious advantage of the 6.75-litre V8 engine under the bonnet is worth mentioning. It produces 385 horsepower and works with an automatic transmission.
The car has been put up for auction on Collecting Cars. Due to its unique character, it will likely find a new owner easily.
