Luxury car manufacturer Bentley has added another feather to its collection of vehicles that include the recently launched Mulsanne and the Arnage.

The British marque has luxuriously restored a former London Routemaster bus on behalf of the hospice St Luke's to help with its fundraising efforts.

Some 59 Bentley workers spent 2,000 hours refitting the bus by hand-stitching logos, customised work surfaces, rails, kitchen unit and shelves.

Commenting on the creation, production manager Gary Lazenby said that great effort and dedication went into it.

"Bentley staff are incredibly proud of the cars we produce but applying those skills to a bus was a totally new experience for all," he explained.

"We are very grateful to the many local suppliers who provided materials free of charge to help make this iconic vehicle fit for a new lease of life."

Bentley is also known for producing luxurious models such as the Bentley GTC Series 51 and the Continental Flying Spur.
