No, your eyes don't deceive you. This really is a W12-engined ute...
There’s a question that, until today, I had no idea that people were asking: why was the Bentley Flying Spur never offered as a pickup? Quite how many people have been pondering this is a mystery, but a ute-loving Bentley owner was clearly so enamoured with the idea of a Flying Spur with a cargo bed that they actually went through the rigmarole of making it a reality.
Come on, who doesn’t love an unconventional pickup? Australia adores them, with eight-cylindee utes bringing a healthy dose of V8 Supercar awesomeness to Aussie tradesman for decades. BMW even had a crack at in 2011, when it too decided to slap a cargo bed in the back of its E92 M3 as part of a highly elaborate April Fool’s Day stunt. The problem is that no one found it funny because the prospect of a German ute from the masterminds at BMW M was rather alluring.
That’s not the only thing that’s recognisable from the donor car. The Flying Spur pick-up was put together by DC Customs, which has a quick overview of the process and a few snaps to go along with it at the. The car originally started out as a non-descript silver Flying Spur, before the rear half was radically modified to accommodate a cargo bay.
The ’decadence’ continues on the inside with two-tone caramel leather, brown carpets and what appears to be walnut veneer . Further changes seem to have been made since the initial build, namely black suede in the middle of the seats and on the centre of the steering wheel. It won’t come as a surprise that the paintwork isn’t factory, either, while the silver bonnet isn’t a nod to the car’s original scheme and is instead an Aston Martin colour, for some reason.
It should do, given that the ad claims that the whole process cost the previous owner £120,000. And if you fancy a piece of ‘Decadent’ pickup pie for yourself, then you’ll need to hand over £149,950 of your hard-earned cash.
