The Appeal

The Mk VI was a serious statement of intent as Bentley regrouped in the early post-war years. This very smart white and black example benefits from the bigger 4,566 cc 'Big Bore' six-cylinder engine that makes these stately motors much more usable in modern traffic.

What sets this particular example apart is its rear landaulette conversion. This later modification has been part of the car's documented history for many years. The arrangement lends a formal, chauffeur-driven presence that would suit private use or, with the colour scheme, has obvious commercial potential.

The car comes with a substantial history file spanning decades, including the original purchase invoice, period photographs showing the car at different stages of its life, and a wealth of correspondence and research material. For those seeking a distinctive and well-documented Bentley with genuine character, this landaulette-converted Mk VI deserves close attention.

The vendor says:

“An individual Bentley with real history, B192NZ, is not simply another Standard Steel Mk VI. It combines the desirable late 4. 6-litre Big Bore specification with unusual rear-landaulette coachwork and, perhaps most importantly, an unusually substantial surviving history file. The original invoice and specification documentation provide a rare link to the car's early life, while period photographs and previous owner records help tell the Bentley's story through subsequent decades. For a collector or enthusiast looking for something genuinely individual, this is particularly appealing. The car has had a recent inspection and oil change and has been kept in a garage.”
