Building the Bentley Mulsanne - Part 6 of 6

Whilst quality checks are fundamental to every stage of the Mulsannes build, it is at the penultimate sign-off stage Checkpoint 7 that the complete car is given the most rigorous examination possible. Every Mulsanne must pass through 503 individual checks conducted by Donna Morrey and her inspectors from the Quality team.

[Olsfen1]

@ygyf He already tested it except that his version was a bit smaller than the one in the video.

I think rolls royce went the right way with the minimalistic approach to their interior design... unfortunately their design is hard to like.

I want, NO! I need that car. Then and only then will my life be complete.

Great series - undoubtedly as close as I'll ever get to a Mulsanne.

@JOHNINCOLUMBUS A job in the automotive industry is not a secure job. Full stop. But going back to your original point about the workers, and fairness. It's much better for the workers at Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin that it is for workers at GM and Ford: You get paid better, you get trained to a very high standard until you are a master of your craft rather than glueing dashboards on all day long. And at the end of it all you are creating a peice of excellence, not junk.

@nettoblaster - Bentley workers walk out again .... "My Current Job: No pay rise in 3 years and an "optional" EU Working Time Directive Opt-out which means I regularly have to do 60 hours over six days each week."

That is one workers voice...Google Crewe TV: Bentley workers walk out again...then tell me about the car.

@nettoblaster - Highly skilled craftsmen, that I don't dispute, I would like to know what their wages are, could you tell me that?

[nettoblaster]

@JOHNINCOLUMBUS Bentley's are built by highly skilled craftsmen. I'd rather be doing that than glueing some plastic junk on $15k car all day long.

@nettoblaster - If you have the money to buy one of these cars, I will also say you do not work on the assembly line at Bentley. You might work in the corporate office as the CEO, but not one of the laborers that actually "make" the car. This is where wealth and labor part, this is where you are the slave to the machine rather than the other way around. It's a beautiful car, but is it "worth" the price it takes to build it, the human cost? You think not...hmm.
