Bentley Dusseldorf Commemorates its 20th Anniversary with a Year of Festivities

Munich, 08 November 2022

Bentley Düsseldorf has initiated a year-long celebration to commemorate the 20th anniversary of its German flagship dealership. The modern glass cube structure is emblematic of the British brand's booming European area, which has 70 shops in 35 regions.

During the first nine months of 2022, Bentley sales in Europe increased by 18% thanks in part to the customization choices offered by Bentley Mulliner. The expertise and workmanship of the oldest coachbuilder in the world will consequently play a pivotal part in the commemorations of Düsseldorf's centennial over the coming 12 months.

The 460m2 showroom displays a unique collection of vintage and contemporary Bentley cars, including the open-top Bacalar, the most exclusive and customised Bentley of the present period. The Barchetta design, driver-focused two-seater designed by Bentley Mulliner, is the pinnacle of open-air luxury. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece was handcrafted in Crewe, England, the home of Bentley, using eco-friendly, ethically sourced materials in a limited edition of twelve.

The classic comparable to the Bacalar is a 1978 Bentley Corniche Coupé by Mulliner Park-Ward. The magnificent grand tourer is coloured Shell Grey and is thought to be one of just seven left-hand drive models produced. The beautiful two-door sedan exemplifies why Mulliner has always existed: to meet the needs of Bentley's most discriminating clients.

The whole line of contemporary Bentley S models, including the Continental GT and GTC S, Flying Spur S, and Bentayga S, complements this pair of unique automobiles. The S line of premium Bentleys emphasises driving performance and aesthetic delight via a variety of external design, interior specification, and dynamic system upgrades.

Regional Director of Bentley Europe, Balazs Rooz, remarked:

"Celebrating a 20-year milestone and great cooperation with a retail partner is always a source of pride, showing the retail partner's and brand's strong partnership, trust, and support. The success of Bentley Düsseldorf emphasises the significance and success of Europe, as well as the German market, where twelve specialised retail partners represent Bentley. Germany is home to some of the most demanding clients, and Bentley Dusseldorf has worked tirelessly over the last two decades to provide them with exceptional service and an exceptional customer experience."

Guido von Spee, Managing Director of Bentley Düsseldorf since 2002, added:

"We are very happy to reflect on 20 years of representing Bentley Motors in Düsseldorf. We kicked off the festivities for this important milestone last weekend with our one-of-a-kind "Bentley & Friends" event, but many more exciting events will follow."
