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.
