IF the 'standard' Bentley Bentayga isn't quite plush enough for you, fret no longer - the company has handed the jumbo SUV over to its in-house customisation division Mulliner to craft something even more luxurious.

Handcrafted in limited numbers, Mulliner enhancements include 'duo tone' paintwork, 22-inch wheels, bottle cooler, new interior veneers and the option of trimming front and rear seats in different coloured hide.

A 1,950 watt music system is standard and customers can choose to order the 'Linley hamper', complete with refrigerator, bespoke cutlery, china and crystal glass and a storage area for dry goods. Sections of the hamper can be removed and used as seats.

One of the more eye-catching options is the mechanical Mulliner Tourbillon by Breitling clock, featuring 196 pieces and an automatic winding mechanism within the vehicle. The clock is machined in solid gold - yellow, white or rose - with a choice of either a mother-of-pearl or black ebony face, and decorated with eight diamond indexes.

The Bentayga Mulliner comes with Bentley's 6.0-litre W12 engine, a behemoth with 600bhp and 663lb.ft which is capable of producing 0-60mph in 4.0 seconds and a top speed of 187mph - making it both the fastest and world's most luxurious SUV. It will also be the most expensive - a 'regular' W12 Bentayga already costs more then £160,000...
