Dear Mr. Whitmore,

A decade of the road,
shared.

There are clients, and then there are the rare few who become part of the history of a marque. This month marks ten years since you first took the keys to your Serene Silver Continental GT from our showroom floor — and in the quiet ledger we keep of such things, that date is circled twice.

Over these ten years, you have trusted us with three motorcars, seventeen services, and more than a few Saturday morning conversations in the lounge about brake bias, vineyard routes, and the proper way to break in a V12. We have watched your collection grow with the same pride a tailor takes in a lifelong wardrobe.

A Tenth-Year Commemoration

Honored Patron of the House
since October 2014

To mark the occasion, we would like to extend two small gestures. The first is an invitation; the second is a gift. Both are ours to give, and yours to accept at your leisure.

Invitation

The 2025 Private Preview

Before the showroom opens its doors to the public, we reserve one evening for our longest-standing clients. You and a guest are invited to the unveiling of the 2025 Flying Spur Mulliner and the return of the Azure Convertible.

Date

Hour

Venue

Chef Auclair of Maison Rouge will prepare the evening's table, and we have arranged for a short conversation with Mr. Henrik Lindqvist, the lead designer behind the new Mulliner interior program. Valet and a return driver, should you wish one, are ours to provide.

Complimentary

A full two-day, seventeen-stage detail by our in-house concours team — paint correction, leather renewal, wheel-off care, and a ceramic finish. Redeemable any time within the next twelve months by appointment with our service concierge.
