Description

1950 Bentley Mk 6 Sedan Green with Brown Interior s/n B601FU With iconic pre-war styling, the Bentley Mk 6 is a fine example of British motoring elegance. Built to the absolute highest standards in quality and comfort for Royalty and Captains of Industry, it is with good reason these cars have become collector pieces. This particular example was imported from the United Kingdom in 1986 to Santa Cruz, California, where it was kept until till 2002. At 85,000 miles the prior owner performed much me...

Our Take:
  • Classic British Elegance: The Bentley Mark VI, introduced after World War II, was the first car built by Bentley after the war and the first ever to be built in significant numbers. Its design echoes the sophistication and craftsmanship of pre-war Bentleys, making it a cherished piece of British automotive history.
  • Post-War Milestone: The Mark VI was Bentley's first model to be assembled and delivered with a factory-made steel body, dubbed the 'Standard Steel Saloon'. This shift was a big deal back in the day as it marked a departure from traditional coachbuilt bodies and helped Bentley modernize its production process.
  • Collector's Gem: The fact that this particular car spent significant time in California before its recent maintenance works adds an interesting chapter to its pedigree. It’s been treated to a host of mechanical refurbishments, from engine work to a comprehensive brake overhaul—ideal for anyone looking to drive and enjoy a classic rather than just showcase it.
  • Artistry Meets Engineering: With a high-quality respray and the kind of detailed care that only a Rolls Royce expert can provide, this Bentley is not just a relic; it’s an artwork on wheels. The update to its leather seating and maintained dash wood speaks to its dual nature as a vehicle of both nostalgic value and enduring luxury. Need a car that impresses not just with its history but with its condition? This might be it.
