The Pinnacle of the Sedanca Era | One of Only 6 Mulliner Variants Ever Built
The Concept
The Bentley Continental SC (Sedanca Coupé) is an automotive icon, with only 73 units ever leaving the Crewe factory. However, this specific chassis represents the absolute peak of that production run. It is a rare Mulliner edition, believed to be one of just six ever commissioned with this enhanced specification.
Bridging the gap between the majestic Continental R and the open-air Azure, the “SC” features a sophisticated removable glass targa roof system. This allows you to enjoy the structural rigidity of a world-class coupé with the visceral, open-air thrill of a convertible. Finished in its original and mesmerizing Deep Amethyst, this is a connoisseur’s Bentley in its most potent and prestigious form.
Performance & Engineering
Under the expansive bonnet lies the legendary 6.75-litre turbocharged V8, specifically tuned in Mulliner trim to deliver a staggering 420 bhp and 650 ft-lb of torque. This “silent thunder” provides effortless, locomotive-like acceleration, propelling this hand-assembled grand tourer with a grace and authority that modern vehicles simply cannot replicate. As a Mulliner commission, the car also benefits from a widened track and a sport-tuned suspension, offering a more planted and communicative driving experience.
The Interior: A Bespoke Sanctuary
The cabin is a masterclass in British craftsmanship. You are enveloped in Light Beige Connolly leather accented by deep blue secondary hides and mirror-matched burr walnut veneers. Every surface reflects the “money-no-object” philosophy of the Mulliner division.
Bespoke Mulliner features include:
* Drilled alloy sports pedals and a chrome-finished gear lever.
* Mulliner-embossed hides with diamond-quilted detailing.
* Individual rear seating, providing unparalleled comfort for all occupants.
* The signature “Sedanca” glass panels, which store securely in the boot.
Provenance & Rarity
This vehicle, was originally delivered new to Italy in October 1999. It has been cherished and meticulously maintained, with a documented service history from Bentley Milano and Bentley Lyon. With approximately 37,000 km from new, it remains in exceptional condition.
The Continental SC Mulliner is not merely a car; it is a piece of Bentley history. It represents the final era of hand-assembled coachbuilding—a rare opportunity to own a vehicle that is as much a blue-chip investment as it is a master of the open road.
