Description:
Bentley MK VI, 1949 totally restored in 2012 with extensive photo documentation, veterans tested in 2015, 500km since new engine. Info: The Bentley Mark VI is an automobile from Bentley which was produced from 1946 to 1952.. The Mark VI 4-door standard steel sports saloon was the first post-war luxury car from Bentley. Announced in May 1946 and produced from 1946 to 1952 it was also both the first car from Rolls-Royce with all-steel coachwork and the first complete car assembled and finished at their factory. These very expensive cars were a genuine success, long-term their weakness lay in the inferior steels forced on them by governments post-war controls. Chassis continued to be supplied to independent coachbuilders. Four-door Saloon, two-door saloon and drophead coupe models with bodies by external companies were listed by Bentley along with the Bentley-bodied saloon. This Bentley factory finished car was given the name Bentley Mark VI standard steel sports saloon. This shorter wheelbase chassis and engine was a variant of the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith of 1946 and, with the same standard steel body and a larger boot became the cautiously introduced Silver Dawn of 1949. The same extended-boot modification was made to the Mark VI body in 1952 and the result became known as the R type Bentley. (Source: wikipedia). CH

Bentley MK VI, 1949 total restauriert 2012 mit umfassender Fotodokumentation, Veteranen geprüft 2015, 500km seit neuer Motorisierung. Info: Der Bentley Mark VI ist eine viertürige Oberklasse-Limousine. Sie war das erste Nachkriegsmodell des Herstellers und auch das erste, das ab Werk mit Werkskarosserie als komplettes Fahrzeug ausgeliefert wurde. Der Mark VI basierte technisch auf dem im gleichen Jahr eingeführten Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, er unterschied sich von diesem vor allem durch kürzeren Radstand und einen modifizierten Motor sowie die neue Werkskarosserie ("Standard Steel"). Drei Jahre später wurde auf Basis des Mark VI der Konzernbruder Silver Dawn vorgestellt, der ebenfalls mit der Standard-Steel-Karosserie ausgestattet war, jedoch einen vergrößerten Kofferraum hatte. 1952 wurde dieser verlängerte Kofferraum auch für den Nachfolger des Mark VI, den R-Type, übernommen.
