Did You Know? Bentley's Secret Barn Find

A luxury legend, lost to time...

In the year 1939, Bentley made a revolutionary prototype known as the Corniche. This extraordinary rookie was aimed at setting the standards for what a vehicle should be, with advanced engineering and luxury demonstrated. However, fate had a different plan. Regrettably, during an air raid in France in the course of World War II, the sole Corniche prototype was destroyed, and only a few photographs remained along with the recollections of those who had seen its grandeur.

Since then, the Corniche has remained like a specter haunting the pages of automotive history: a sign of what was to come. And yet, with Bentley, the inexorable march of innovation and perpetual reinvention of classicist tradition never seemed to halt. As the experts in bespoke, hand-crafted coachwork for the marque and indeed keen enthusiasts for same, Bentley's Mulliner division secretly began to muse on the potential for a restorative program which involved resurrecting Corniche.

It was not merely a monumental task that in the past was taken up with aplomb by Bentley's Mulliner division, steeped in tradition yet unafraid to embrace modernity in a blend of reverence and innovation. Scouring through archives, old photographs, and any surviving blueprints, they gathered every possible detail about the original Corniche. It was not just a restoration; it was a resurrection.

This Mulliner team computationally reinvented the Corniche all over again, mashed with the latest of technologies and mated to the highest artisanships. Advanced 3D modeling allowed them to re-create the car with extremely authentic design, while more traditional handcrafting allowed each curve, stitch, and piece of trim to be accurate as per the 1939 prototype.

It was an exhaustive—and through—process of merging the past with the present, with craftsmen and engineers working hand in hand. The coachwork was aluminum, a lightweight material—for the times—employed on the original. Sumptuous amounts of leather and vast quantities of exquisite veneered wood clothed the interior cabin, reproducing the luxury that is defined through the appellation of "Bentley."

After countless years of dedication and hard work, the Mulliner team finally finished the rebirth of the Corniche in 2019, 80 years to the day after the original creation. This modern wonder, much more than a car, spoke volumes in its own right about the eagerness of Bentley owners to attain the zenith of perfection, dedicated to decades of heritage. The Corniche was exquisite. Within its elegant lines and timeless design, it was an automobile that once again reclaimed its place in the automotive world. It proved, after all, that full-value legends would never be dimmed in their light; they just need to wait for the right moment to shine.

The revival of the Corniche bears testimony to the way in which Bentley blends tradition with innovation, to how the past inspired the future, and to how deep an experience of craft imbues profound new lease of life into history. The Corniche stands as one of the greatest and last beings of Bentley's legacy, a luxurious tribute to one bygone era, and a supreme indicator of just what makes a symbol of automotive excellence.
