Mulliner Park Ward was a bespoke coachbuilder in Hythe Road, Willesden, London UK.

Mulliner now is the personal commissioning department for Bentley.

Mulliner Park Ward was a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce and made bespoke bodies in London for Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars. The coachbuilding business closed in 1991 but the Mulliner name is used for the personal commissioning department of the current Bentley manufacturer.

History

Rolls-Royce Motors formed Mulliner Park Ward by the 1961 merger of two Rolls-Royce subsidiaries: Park Ward of Willesden, London, a Rolls-Royce subsidiary since 1939 and H. J. Mulliner & Co. of Chiswick, a Rolls-Royce subsidiary since 1959.

Mulliner Park Ward continues to operate as the vehicle customization division of Bentley Motors Limited, the successor of Rolls-Royce Motors.

There is an interesting history behind the coachbuilders H.J. Mulliner and Park Ward, both of whom were acquired by Rolls-Royce; Park Ward shortly before WWII and H.J. Mulliner towards the end of the fifties. Both were finally to be merged into one company H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward in 1961; after some time had passed the simpler term Mulliner Park Ward became used; in the end the rubber mats to protect the carpets only showed the pressed-in letters "MPW".
