It just so happens that Bentley Motors Ltd. is not the only major Great Britain-based business to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2019. Another one would be Huntsman, a classical men’s wear company. Unsurprisingly, the two decided to celebrate together and launch two special editions of the Bentley Bentayga SUV: Businessman and Sportsman.
Bentley’s in-house tuning subdivision, Mulliner, supervised the process. Both limited series ended up with interiors draped in tweed fabric. This is far from coincidental, since Huntsman is particularly famous for its tweed articles. In fact, the company went as far as to resume the production of its once-famous ‘Peck 62’ tweed type for the collaboration with Bentley.
The Bentayga Businessman has a chessboard built into the rear armrest, which clearly references the chessboard floor pattern found in the showrooms of Jack Barclay, British car manufacturer’s major dealer network that mainly exhibits anniversary and special editions. Aside from the cloth, the cabin Bentayga Businessman makes use of fine leather and carbon fiber.
In turn, the Bentayga Sportsman boasts a blue leather trim with occasional natural wood and virgin wool inserts.
All buyers of the limited series will be getting a custom-tailored Huntsman jacket with exclusive backing as a gift.
