The official car of the then Prince of Wales will go under the hammer in the UK in early December
A 2013 Bentley Mulsanne used by His Majesty King Charles III when he was still Prince of Wales will be offered at auction by H & H Classics. The luxury vehicle, known for its royal provenance, is expected to fetch between £80,000 and £100,000 when it is auctioned on Wednesday, December 3, at the Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire.
A car fit for a king
Officially assigned to the Royal Household in December 2013, the Bentley was extensively used by Charles for official engagements. The model features a Dark Sapphire exterior and Magnolia leather interior with polished walnut trim — a classic example of British sophistication.
Equipped with four-wheel air suspension, digital radio and television, and a power-operated boot lid, the car retains all its original factory specifications. It was first owned by the Bentley Motor Cars Press and Special Vehicle Department before being assigned to the Royal Family.
A rare and pristine example
The car remains in excellent condition, showing only 35,000 miles and has been with its current owner since 2023. Several photographs document the vehicle in service, carrying the then Prince and Princess of Wales on multiple official occasions.
Paul Cheetham, senior specialist at H&H Classics, stated:
“We are thrilled to offer this very special Bentley Mulsanne at auction, as it’s hard to imagine a car more fitting for a future king.”
Cheetham added:
“For many years, Bentley has been the preferred marque of the Royal Family, and luxury cars don’t come much better than the Mulsanne. Given its royal provenance, this Bentley must be one of the most desirable examples available anywhere in the world.”
