Why it matters
Bentley first showed the Grand Convertible as a concept at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show and then decided to build it in very small numbers. It is an open-top version of the Mulsanne Speed sedan. The reporting notes that the Mulsanne body was already stiff enough that the conversion needed little extra structure.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package productionunits to which the Mulliner Grand Convertible is limited | 191 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Mulliner hand-built the Grand Convertible as a production model that started life as a facelifted Mulsanne Speed, losing its roof and being shortened by 10 cm after the doors. It was limited to 19 units as a nod to Bentley's inception in 1919, with deliveries from 2018 and the last cars in 2019. An earlier concept had been based on the pre-facelift Mulsanne.
