History
Mulliner Park Ward was a 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. H J Mulliner & Co had been taken over by Rolls-Royce in 1959.
After its closure in 1991 the name Mulliner Park Ward remained as a division within Rolls-Royce until the sale and split-up of Rolls-Royce and Bentley, at which point it became a division of Bentley Motors.
