Bentley Mark VI listings71 for sale now
The Bentley Mark VI was a landmark model, representing the company's first post-war production car. Introduced in 1946, it was also the first Bentley offered with a factory-built "Standard Steel Saloon" body, a major shift from the traditional practice of supplying only a rolling chassis to independent coachbuilders. It was initially powered by a 4.3-liter F-head inline-6, which was upgraded to a more powerful 4.6-liter "big bore" engine in 1951.
Collectors are drawn to the Mark VI for its historical significance and its blend of pre-war style with post-war usability. While the Standard Steel Saloon is the most common version, the rare coachbuilt cars from firms like H.J. Mulliner and Park Ward are the most sought-after. These special-bodied cars, especially drophead coupes, command significant premiums over their factory-bodied counterparts.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary enemy. Carefully inspect the sills, wheel arches, boot floor, and chassis outriggers for corrosion.
- Interior woodwork is very expensive to restore. Check the dashboard and door cappings for cracking, delamination, or sun damage.
- The inline-6 engine is costly to rebuild. Look for smoke on startup or acceleration and check for oil pressure of at least 25 psi at a hot idle.
- Verify the braking system's mechanical servo is functioning correctly. Also, ensure the Bijur chassis lubrication system works, as its failure leads to costly suspension wear.
- Prioritize cars with extensive service history and documentation. Original build sheets from the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club add significant value.
