The replica measures 78 cm in length, 40 cm in width and 24.4 cm in height. Details seen in a full-size car cabin have been mimicked carefully in the miniature. The tiny steering wheel features impeccably-copied cross-stitching, details of the iconic seat quilting and fluting have been mirrored in detail and the model car even mimics the lustrous wood veneers and plush carpets that characterise the original. In fact, the scale model allows for the doors and boot to be opened in the scale model.
Customers can personalize their miniature Bentleys by choosing from an array of options of exterior paint colours, wheels and alloys, lower grille, brake calipers, number plate, left or right driver position, interior colour split, main hide colour, secondary hide colour, seat quilting, seat fluting, veneers, and carpets. The option for the iconic Blackline specification is also available. They could even choose to mirror the looks of some of the most iconic Continental GTs like the Number 9 Edition made by Mulliner.
