I assume that the "suede" effect mentioned is Alcantara? Is so, why not call it that, it's hardly an inexpensive fabric!

Because it might not be alcantara. Alcantara is a brand name for the product - suede effect isn't.

I was informed of this when working on some PRs for Cadillac.

The problem is if you don't spec it, it makes the car virtually impossible to sell second-hand, as the Mulliner Spec also opens up the choice of body and leather colours, otherwise you're very limited in what you can have!


So even Bentley has a "poverty" model! hide getcoat

There are some interesting steering wheel options but no picture of what the "standard wheel" will be , does anyone know if it will be same as fitted to the Series 2/3/4?

I believe it is the wheel they designed to encourage drives to stay within the limits of the car and their driving ability.

I got lucky on my 8 - all options (every single one) were free for a limited period. I dread to think what it would have cost otherwise.

Do you know the base price? I've failed to find it on the MMC website.
