Bentley is celebrating a big birthday this year. And this is (part of) how it"s doing it. With a book. A really big one, created with "specialist luxury book publisher" Opus, of nine chapters and more than 800 pages. The Bentley Centenary Book weighs 30kg - as much as a ten-year-old child - and is over metre wide when open. The basic Centenary" edition is limited to 500 copies and costs 3,000. For that, you get the same kind of leather Bentley uses in its cars (in your choice of colour) for the cover, and a Bentley badge which, again, is like the one the company uses on its cars. The Mulliner" edition, which is limited to 100 copies and costs 12,500, adds 20in x 24in portraits of ten iconic Bentleys, and a collection of 56 watercolour paintings. Furthermore, you get a section of front-left tyre taken from the 2003 Le Mans-winning Bentley Speed 8. Buyers can also choose to have their car photographed by Opus and the images included on special pages.
