The roots of the Mulliner date back to the 16th century, when the company focused primarily on the manufacture of luxury horse-drawn carts. In 1923, Mulliner presented for the first time the design of the body structure of the Bentley with the 3-liter Bentley 2-seater at the Olympia in London, just four years after Bentley Motors was founded.
In 1953, Mulliner created the cabin of one of the most popular Bentley models ever, the R Type Continental. This model inspired the design of the Continental GT for the present day. Then in 1957, Mulliner introduced the Continental Flying Spur, a four-door saloon specially made on the Bentley Continental chassis. Mulliner officially became part of Bentley Motors in 1959, setting up its own workshops in Crewe.
