Introduced in 1946, Bentley's MkVI was the first vehicle ever offered by the company with factory-designed coachwork, and the first to be assembled in Rolls-Royce's Crewe factory rather than the old Derby premises. Aimed at the emerging 'owner-driver' luxury car market, the newcomer was closely based on the 1939 MkV (of which only fifteen were produced). Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc OISE (overhead inlet side exhaust valve) straight-six engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Capable of over 100mph when clad in the factory's understated 'standard steel saloon' coachwork, the MkVI quickly developed a reputation for being a refined yet responsive drive.

Imported to the UK from America in 2019, the current owner is only the second owner in the UK. The owner has advised that the car was in a museum as part of a private collection, when in the USA. A folder full of the car's UK history is supplied, detailing the running maintenance it has received over the last few years. The B60 engine is said to run 'Very well' with no issues and has good oil pressure, and the gearbox selects gears effortlessly. It was recently driven over 100 miles with no issues. Aftermarket indicators are discretely fitted utilizing the original indicator switch on the centre of the dashboard. The interior is also said to be in 'Very good' condition. It looks to have been re-upholstered in past years and the sunroof has no leaks. Overall a lovely example that’s ready to be enjoyed and offered with a current V5C document.
