Description
The car has the legendary Bentley 4257cc (4.25 litre) F-Head inline six cylinder engine with twin SU carburetors and aluminum cylinder head. Power was sent to the rear courtesy of a 4 speed manual gearbox with a single plate clutch and synchromesh on 2,3 and top. Top speed is around 94 mph. Servo assisted drum brakes provided the stopping power and the suspension were independent with coil springs (still wrapped in their original factory leather buckled straps!)

The car has the legendary Bentley 4257cc (4.25 litre) F-Head inline six cylinder engine with twin SU carburetors and aluminum cylinder head. Power was sent to the rear courtesy of a 4 speed manual gearbox with a single plate clutch and synchromesh on 2,3 and top. Top speed is around 94 mph. Servo assisted drum brakes provided the stopping power and the suspension were independent with coil springs (still wrapped in their original factory leather buckled straps!)
The car drives extraordinarily well with the very smooth shifting original 4 speed manual transmission matched to the original 4.25L 6 cylinder engine for an extremely strong and responsive drive and with the car driving as straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles, a truly remarkable and daily driver with supremely smooth and easy transmission shifts in all gears! The car has adjustable ride control, Lucas fog lights, sealed beam third headlight, sliding sunroof and a mohair headliner.
This increasingly desirable and legendary marque, 1949 Bentley Mark VI along with it’s tall grille and Bentley ‘Flying B’ hood ornament mascot on the hood is a moving work of art from a time when Rolls-Royce and Bentley were famously building the “Best Cars in the World” with the craftsmanship and quality of these cars obviously speaking for themselves.
The saloon presents as an absolutely exceptionally tidy and well-sorted driver, with recent mechanical inspection with a new water pump and adjusted carbs etc, wearing an older restoration in its original Dark Navy Blue color that would still be pride of show anywhere. Notably, the interior, swathed in it’s all original Light Gray with Dark Blue piping Connolly leather with beautiful rich woodwork, is particularly comfortable and sumptuous. Further, the car is offered with full sets of road and hand tools, as well as its original handbook.
The Livery for this car was finished in a very attractive color combination, a very Dark Navy Blue color exterior with a dark Red coachline and with a a sumptuous ‘Light Gray & Blue Piping’ leather interior. The car has lovely original timber with ‘Widow’s Peak’ door sill design, original R70 Lucas center driving light, classical razor edge design, closed rear quarters, a sliding rear sunroof, painted matching wheel discs with chrome centers and complete hand and road tools and it’s original owner’s handbook.
