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

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

History
