This attractive ‘long wing’ designed Bentley comes to us in excellent condition having just been subject or a full bare metal re-spray. The body is finished in a beautiful two-tone blue that highlights the impressive coachwork lines. The paint is finished to a very high standard and is un-marked. There are many nice chrome features around the car including a moulding, which runs from the scuttle to the rear quarter.
The interior has been finished to an equally high standard in grey/blue leather. The history file shows invoices on file in excess of £ 6,000 for the re-trim. Under the bonnet the paint finish matches the exterior quality are looks more like a piece of an art than a useable machine.
The refined inline 6 is smooth and strong, she fires instantly and drives effortlessly, thanks to the MKVI’s independent suspension the road holding is excellent and just what you expect from a Crewe built car.
A thick history file accompanies the car and is available for viewing at our showroom.

About Bentley
Before becoming a mere subsidiary to Rolls-Royce, Bentley was an independent Automaker famous for the "fastest lorries in the world" e.i Bentley 4½ Litre.Good ol' Bentley boys (A group of wealthy British motorists, mainly Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Glen Kidston, S.C.H. "Sammy" Davis, and Dr Dudley Benjafield ) -in their trusty Bentley cars- took four consecutive victories at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930
In 1931 Bentley was taken over British Central Equitable Trust that later proved to be a front for Rolls-Royce Limited. Unhappy with his role at Rolls-Royce, W.O. Bentley left the company when his contract expired in 1935 duly joining Lagonda. This was beginning of which ultimately led Bentley cars to become more or less badge-engineered Rolls-Royce.
