Description
1950 Bentley MK VI Standard Steel Saloon Left-Hand Drive
This 1950 Bentley MK VI Standard Steel Saloon is a desirable Left-Hand Drive example and a highly original unrestored car that runs and drives. Black with tan leather interior. It would benefit from cosmetic commissioning and servicing at this time. Chassis B1LHP is an "H Series" chassis, wearing factory Standard Steel Saloon coachwork produced by Pressed Steel Ltd. Factory build records show this car was prepared for use in France, and delivered via Franco Britannia Automobiles. It left the works finished in black with a single ivory coach line over tan hides and brown carpet. Other options include a close-ratio gearbox, sliding sunroof, Smiths AM radio, and a "cyclops" Lucas driving lamp. This Mark VI presents in complete and largely original condition with correct factory details intact. It displays a consistent overall patina and is the ideal canvas for restoration or to prepare for rallies and road events, where the capable and refined Mark VI chassis can be fully appreciated.
