Bentley mark 6 special 1950
Location : UK
Condition : very good
Stock : #1013
YEAR : 1950
Body Style : Bentley mark 6 special
Ext Color : black
Additional Info : Engine was moved back and replaced with a B61 4.9 LTR motor, BDC 292:1 CWP, and Harry Rose built the car who was one of the founders off the Bentley owners club who went on to make harry rose body’s that a lot off these special used. The previous owner further improved the car, fitting doors and a polycarbonate screen. The brakes and servo were refurbished. The seats and lights were also upgraded. By the late 1960s, many Bentley MkVIs had succumbed to serious body rot, yet their mechanicals remained in first-class order. The result was the rise of the Bentley specials movement, and I am pleased to offer one originally built by one of the Bentley specials movement's leading lights, Harry Rose. The result is an unashamedly honest, simple example with better proportions than many later examples. The bodywork and running boards remain in good order, as does the paint, and the chunky-tread tires (fitted to steel wheels) appear in good order. The interior is reasonably basic but tidy. Twin bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl and tidy, as is the carpet, and the wooden dashboard houses a selection of useful instrumentation. Recent upgrades: new racing high-flow radiator fan, all new electronics system, new coil leads, spark plugs, and a new, more modern distributor made by a racing company dealing in classic cars. The car starts and drives beautifully with great power from the 4.9L straight 6 engine.
