About the Bentley Mulliner Bacalar Scarab Green TopSpeed 1:18
TL;DR: TopSpeed's 1:18 resin Bentley Mulliner Bacalar in Scarab Green reproduces Bentley's bespoke coachbuilt open-top grand tourer. Sealed resin construction fits a subject built in an extremely small, hand-finished run, giving collectors access to a car most will never see in person.
The Bacalar exists precisely because Bentley's Mulliner coachbuilding division wanted to prove what its craftsmen could do without volume-production constraints, and a hand-built resin replica matches that spirit fairly directly.
Resin Construction Suited to a Bespoke Original
Sealed resin gives up opening doors and a moving hood in exchange for sharper, more consistent shut lines, and on a car defined by hand-finished bodywork and unique paint like Scarab Green, that trade favors surface fidelity over interactivity. The Bacalar's open-top, screen-less silhouette is a distinctive shape without a folding roof mechanism to accommodate, which simplifies the casting challenge somewhat even as the deep, saturated green demands real paint depth to look convincing under display lighting. TopSpeed's small-batch resin approach, common among specialist manufacturers covering low-volume or ultra-limited originals, matches the scarcity of the real car far better than a mass-production diecast run would.
The Bacalar as a Coachbuilt Rarity
Bentley's Mulliner division built the Bacalar as a modern coachbuilt project, a genuinely bespoke two-seat roadster produced in a strictly limited run and finished largely by hand rather than on a standard production line. That approach places it closer to historic coachbuilt specials than to any current-catalog Bentley, and it appeals to collectors interested in the boundary between manufacturer and bespoke coachbuilder rather than mainstream model ranges. On a shelf, this piece works best as a standalone hero rather than grouped with volume-production Bentleys, since its whole appeal rests on genuine exclusivity rather than familiarity.
