Bentley came with an interesting contest to keep its employees and their families busy when operations were closed and everyone had to remain indoors. It conducted an online contest challenging its workers and their families to design their perfect Mulliner Bacalar. The contest was won by a woman named Eleanor whose design was selected by Bentley's Director of Design, Stefan Sielaff, having the most vibrant exterior among all the entrants. That said, the design will only make it to production if a customer specifically orders it.
