The sunroof and frame have also been restored by Classic Restorations of Alyth, Perthshire. Retaining its original registration number, HBD 288 comes with its RREC chassis records and is described as being in “excellent” condition as regards its paintwork, bodywork, engine, transmission and interior.

Introduced in 1946, the MKVI was Bentley's first post-war model. 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 initially 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 but stylish 'standard steel saloon' coachwork, the MKVI quickly developed a reputation for being a refined yet responsive drive. The availability of the so-called 'Big Bore' 4566cc powerplant from late 1951 onwards brought a welcome increase in flexibility and acceleration. Only in production for two seasons, just 1, 202 'Big Bore' MKVIs were made of which just 180 are thought to have received coach built bodies.

Fiennes Showroom are delighted to have the opportunity to market this very presentable Bentley MKVI with minor age related marks throughout.
