Bentley Bentayga fly fishing by Mulliner – The ultimate angling accessory

  • Bentley creates the ultimate luxury car for fly fishing enthusiasts  
  • Exquisite fly fishing set hand-crafted in wood and leather by Mulliner
  • Bentayga’s go-anywhere ability takes you right to the riverbank

(Crewe, 19 July 2016) Bentley has created the ultimate angling accessory; the new #bentayga Fly Fishing by #mulliner.

Hand-crafted by Bentley’s bespoke coachbuilding division, the #bentayga Fly Fishing by #mulliner is an exquisite installation which houses all the equipment required for a successful day on the river.

Four rods are stored in special tubes trimmed in Saddle leather with Linen cross-stitching and located on the underside of the parcel shelf. A pair of landing nets in matching leather bags are stored in a bespoke, carpet-trimmed hard pocket built into the side of the boot.

At the heart of the #bentayga Fly Fishing by #mulliner are three individual, Saddle-leather-trimmed units: a master tackle station; a refreshment case; and waterproof wader-stowage trunk.

The master tackle station and refreshment case sit on a sliding tray that allows for easy access. Inside the master tackle unit is a special Burr Walnut veneered drawer containing a fly-tying vice and tools, as well as a selection of cotton, hooks and feathers. Beneath this are four machined-from-solid aluminium reel cases trimmed in Saddle leather with a Linen cross-stitching. The interior of the refreshment case is trimmed in Linen leather, and contains up to three metal flasks and a set of #mulliner fine-china tableware, as well as a separate food storage compartment. With a quilted leather finish on top, it can also be removed entirely and used as additional seating.

Waders and boots are conveniently stowed in a hand-crafted and Saddle-leather-wrapped wood trunk, lined with hard-wearing neoprene material to keep the items in a waterproof environment after use.

Of course, all three units can be removed from the Bentayga’s boot whenever maximum luggage space is required. 

Waterproof boot-floor and rear-sill-protection covers are discreetly integrated into the rear of the #bentayga Fly Fishing by #mulliner, as is an electronic dehumidifier unit to ensure the area remains fresh and dry.

For the first time with #bentayga, #mulliner ‘Welcome Lights’ are also featured. These are built into the underside of the doors and project the #bentley and #mulliner logos on to the ground when the doors are opened. In addition as a bespoke option, any personal logo or graphic can be individually specified on a customer’s #bentayga order.

Geoff Dowding, Director of #mulliner, said: “The #bentayga Fly Fishing car showcases the breadth and level of detail a customer can expect from #mulliner. This is an individual bespoke solution and our skilled craftspeople can design elegant and exquisitely executed bespoke solutions to complement any customer lifestyle or hobby. Fly fishing is a sport that requires a variety of equipment and clothing, so it was essential  to package the rods, reels, waders, boots and fly-tying station into the car in a luxurious, accessible and elegant way – and the end result is truly extraordinary.”

Bentley #bentayga – Genuine Luxury with Go-Anywhere Ability

Never before has a vehicle so coherently combined genuine luxury with go-anywhere driving ability.

Powerful, individual and exquisite in equal measure, the #bentayga is for those who demand luxury without restriction. It provides a true #bentley experience, even in the most challenging environments and takes luxury to new places, unrestrained by climate, terrain or conditions.

It offers the widest range of on- and off-road drive settings of any vehicle via Bentley’s Drive Dynamics Mode and optional Responsive Off-Road Setting. Up to eight modes are available, allowing drivers, at the simple turn of a dial, to select the perfect dynamic set-up for any surface or road condition. This versatility is complemented by #bentley Dynamic Ride (electrically activated 48V active roll control) and Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS).

The Responsive Off-Road Settings allow the customer to select the appropriate vehicle settings for a wide range of off-road surfaces, while the Driver Information Panel displays information on pitch, roll, wheel articulation, steering angle, compass bearing and altitude.

As with all Bentleys, the #bentayga comes with multi-mode air suspension. The #bentayga driver has four different modes to choose from: High 2, High 1, Normal and Low. High 2, for example, can be manually selected when tackling more severe off-road surfaces. Customers can also lower the rear suspension via a switch in the boot, to ease loading and trailer hitching.
