Bentley MkVI Midnight Blue/Shell Grey

Bentley MkVI Midnight Blue/Shell Grey

Registered NBB 821 it comes painted in an elegant two-tone dark blue and pale grey with pale grey interior seating, brown dashboard and door cappings, black steering wheel and dark blue ‘carpet’. Exterior detail sees lots of silver and chrome work to wheels, wipers, bumpers, front window frames and running board, with remaining trim and the chassis painted black.

The Bentley Mk VI was the first prestige car to appear after the war, launched in 1946 and the first one to be manufactured completely at the Rolls-Royce Crewe works. When production ceased in 1952, over 5200 of these expensive, upmarket, steel sports saloon cars had been produced. The age of elegance indeed.
