Inside Pimlico Plumbers founder Charlie Mullins’ car collection from £336k Bentley Mulsanne to £450k Rolls-Royce
THE jaw-dropping car collection of Pimlico Plumbers founder Charlie Mullin has been revealed – including a £336k Bentley Mulsanne and £450k Rolls-Royce.
Sidney Charles Mullins, 70, is the founder of London’s largest independent plumbing company, which he sold in 2021 for a whopping £140million.
Charles is also known for his collection of plumbing-themed number plates used on the company’s vehicle, worth around £1.5million.
Growing up on a council estate in south London in the 1950s and 1960s, he knew nothing about cars, The Sunday Times reports.
The closest the family came to owning a car was when his father got a job in a factory painting models and brought one home.
After becoming a plumber, he bought an old Morris Minor van for £35 at auction in 1952.
Seven years later, he founded Pimlico Plumbers – and managed to employ around 330 people.
And away from the construction industry, Charlie seems to love his motors.
Here we have broken out his eye-watering car collection.
