Classic Bentleys were based on a rolling chassis for many years, and sent on the client’s request to a coachbuilder of choice. Numerous independent coachbuilders worked on Bentley models to create some very special models along with more standard versions. Bentleys were known to be highly luxurious and customizable. In the early days, Bentley developed a special relationship with coachbuilders H.J. Mulliner & Co. and Park Ward, who created standard and more unique designs for many models. Eventually, Bentley bought the two coachbuilders and brought them in house to build the bodies and interiors. Many other coachbuilders from all over Europe were used and as such, Bentley cars are very unique.
