Bentley Bentayga Azure: A Tribute to British Heritage and Heroism
by AutoExpert | 14 February, 2024
A brand new Bentley Bentayga just dropped and it us basically a love letter to British heritage and heroism, all wrapped up in some serious luxury.
This isn't just any Bentayga; it's a one-of-a-kind masterpiece inspired by the legendary Private White V.C. fashion brand, named after an actual war hero, Private Jack White. This guy wasn’t just any soldier; he was a real-life hero from World War I who ended up becoming a big name in the British fashion scene.
So, here's the backstory: Private Jack White, originally Jacob Weiss, was a total badass in WWI, doing heroic stuff like swimming under machine gun fire with a telephone wire to save his squad. For his bravery, he was awarded the Victoria Cross, which is a big deal.
Fast forward a bit, and he takes over a raincoat company, turning it into the luxe fashion label we know today as Private White V.C.
Now, Bentley, being Bentley, decided to tip their hat to this incredible story by customizing a Bentayga Azure so elegantly that it's practically dripping in style and history.
They've gone all out with copper details everywhere inside – from the seat piping to the embroidery – all of it giving a nod to that life-saving telephone wire from Jack's war days. They didn’t stop there; the headrests rock the Victoria Cross emblem, and there's even the brand’s lettering stitched on the seat backs.
For a touch of the extraordinary, Mulliner, Bentley’s customization geniuses, drew the outline of “Cottenham House” right on the dashboard – that's the place where all those fancy Private White V.C. clothes are made. And, because why not, they threw in some super soft cashmere cushions featuring Private White’s military blanket stripe. Oh, and let’s not forget the adorable bulldog embroidered in the door pockets – apparently, it’s the fashion brand’s mascot.
On the outside, this Bentayga is all class, painted in a deep blue called Dark Sapphire, sporting some slick 22-inch wheels that match the car’s color, and finished with Private White V.C. badges just to make sure everyone knows this isn’t your average Bentley.
But here's the kicker – you can’t even buy this car. It’s a one-off, made for someone who probably has everything, including a bespoke clothing collection from Private White V.C. to match their new ride. Talk about an exclusive package!
So, while we might not be able to get our hands on this beauty, it’s still pretty cool to see Bentley pulling off such a tribute to British history and luxury fashion. It just goes to show, some stories are so good, they deserve their own Bentley.
