Bentley Mk VI 6 Standard Steel Saloon 1949
General description :
1949 Bentley Mark 6 Standard Steel Saloon
Chassis number: B58FV
Registration number: 0AYN834
Over £100,000 was spent upon this car on a photographic restoration in 1997 to make the car as new. Since then it has coverd just a few thousand miles & has been always garage kept. The resotation was carried out by Prescott Restorations & there are copious bills, notes & Photographs on file attesting to the exhaustive & comprehensive works completed.
The car is finished in traditional sable over sand paint with new dark brown hides to the interior. All woodwork has been removed & refinished to a mirrow lke shine. The restoation was done for a Belgian gentle man of means & the car still wears its yellow continental headlights.
This is an utterly rust free car that has had the body corrosion cut out & fully attended to in addition to the chassis & engine being rebuilt. Not an easy car to fault.
Simply put, this is a faultless car that has had eyewatering money spent upon it. It wants for nothing & drives beautifully. Currently part of a small collection in the process of being disbanded, the car will be with us in the first two weeks of August.

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.
