One-Off Bentley Continental GTC Boodles by Mulliner Is a Grand Touring Jewel Box on Wheels

Starting on the outside, it has an Anthracite paint finish and a light gray fabric roof. The Powder Pink pinstripe is a unique addition here, alongside the Boodles 1798 logo on the front fenders in gray with chrome text. The car sits on 22-inch wheels in Tungsten with a polished finish, and the glossy black brake calipers are visible from behind.

Greeting users upon opening the doors are the custom welcome lamps that project the Boodles logo onto the ground. Once inside, they will be surrounded by Linen upholstery, which is the main hide color, with the Porpoise being the secondary hide. More Powder Pink accents are included here on the steering wheel tab, console side pockets, and inner door pockets.

The same hue was used for the piping and hand cross-stitching. Bentley says this one-off Continental GTC's upper seatbacks and door cards have blind stitching, mentioning an impressive number: 278,566 stitches that took six hours to be completed. A Be Boodles Bentley pendant was embedded into the center console, and it is another bespoke touch of the GT, a handcrafted one for all that matters. Linen hide loose cushions have Porpoise embroidery and Linen hide, as well as Powder Pink piping.

Did you think they ended it here? Well, they haven't, as this open-top luxury model has additional bespoke details, like the Powder Pink pinstripe that bisects the dual-finish Piano Linen and Autumn Stone veneers. And if you must know, Bentley brags about its laser-cutting techniques, as they enable its personalization division to cut just one-tenth of a millimeter thick natural stone that was formed over 200 million years ago and add it inside as special trim.

With both Mulliner and Boodles wanting to further bring out the specialness within this Continental GTC, they also gave it a jewel-like finish on the air vents, controls, dials, and bezels. Powder Pink was once again used here, this time for the central vanes of the air vents, and there is 24ct gold, too, on the 'organ stop' controls of the air vents. The lower fascia veneer and door waist rails have Boodles 1798 overlay in chrome, and the jewel company's motif is now a central dial in the rotating display.

The fruit of Mulliner's and Boodles' collaboration is a one-of-one creation that's not a special commission, as some might expect. However, it is for sale and will look for its owner starting on April 11, when it will be shown at Jack Barclays in London. And you know it is going to cost a lot of money, don't you?
