If you see a Bentley Bacalar on the road, make a wish: there are only 12 of them out there. This makes it one of the world\u2019s most exclusive convertibles in production.<\/h4>\n

Not since the 1930s has there been a two-seater Bentley. So the Bacalar deserves our full attention. Unveiled by Mulliner, Bentley's customisation department, it is the rarest two-door Bentley of the modern era. Only 12 units of this (very) limited edition will be handcrafted at Bentley\u2019s site in Crewe, tailored to the requests of each customer. Naturally, all 12 cars have already sold. With its barchetta<\/em> outline and the muscular lines of its body, the Bacalar is unique and personal, the end product resulting from discussions between the Bentley Mulliner team and the (lucky) buyer. Bentley Motors chairman, Adrian Hallmark, said, \u201cThe Bacalar will be an extraordinary, collaborative experience for just 12 discerning customers, who will now each co-create, drive and treasure one of the cars being built\u201d. It will also be a chance for Mulliner to return to its roots, which go back to the 16th<\/sup>\u00a0century. Already at that time, the world\u2019s oldest coachbuilder still active today was known for customising luxury horse-drawn carriages. So the Bacalar is the culmination of almost five centuries of expertise in the artful design of remarkable vehicles.<\/p>\n
