That’s the beauty of a bespoke division. You name it, and as long as it’ll fit in the car, they’ll do it. Bentley’s Mulliner division has created this one-off Bentayga Falconry with in-car falconry kit.
The kit comprises of two individual cork-fabric-trimmed units – a master flight station and a refreshment case. These sit on a movable tray that allows for easy access. Inside the master flight unit is a special Piano Black veneered drawer with a saker falcon crest, containing bespoke storage for all the equipment required for this sport.
There is a stowage tray with individual compartments for a GPS bird tracking unit, binoculars and hand-crafted leather bird hoods and gauntlets, all of which are available as an additional option. The refreshment case houses three metal flasks and durable cups, a blanket and face cloths. Two individual perches are stored in a special case which slots into a hard pocket built into the side of the boot.
While the exterior looks like any other Bentayga, the interiors follow the falconry theme as well. Inside the Bentayga’s Hotspur-hide-trimmed cabin, there is a removable transportation perch and tether on the central armrest. Bentley says the sweeping desert scene featuring a soaring saker falcon was created using 430 individual pieces of wood sourced from all over the world and hand-crafted over nine days.
Geoff Dowding, Director of Mulliner, said, “The Bentayga Falconry showcases what’s possible with our skilled craftspeople. They can devise elegant and exquisitely executed bespoke solutions to compliment any lifestyle or hobby. Falconry is regarded as the sport of kings in the Middle East, so it was vital that the kit we created was as luxurious as it was practical and durable to appeal to our valued customers there and around the world.”
