Description
1948 Bentley MKVI Standard Steel Saloon Registration JLY191, Chassis B372CF, Six cylinder 4. 25 litre engine, manual transmission.
This elegant classic Bentley is finished in black and silver with pale blue grey leather upholstery. The current retired Doctor owner has owned it for eight years and kept the car in good mechanical order having had the gearbox overhauled, the back axle overhauled increasing its ratio to the R Type specification for better cruising speeds, a new exhaust system, new tyres and other general maintenance. Whilst the body work is presentable it will require some cosmetic work including a new rear bumper. The interior is in good order and has had the rear seat squab re-upholstered. It is supplied with a large history file including maintenance bills going back to the 1960s and photographic evidence of a full body and mechanical overhaul in the past, copies of original build cards, factory service manuals and spare parts list. It also has its original under dash small tool kit and large tools. A good useable example which is an ideal use and improve project which has had considerable expenditure lavished on it over the years. It has a current V5 document (Subject to 12% buyers premium inclusive of VAT).
