Seller's comments about 1947' Bentley Mark V Mk V1
Bentley came out of the WW2 starting blocks with a bang.
The MkVI was effectively an all-new car, and had plenty of new technology to boast about. It was the first Bentley with a steel body as standard, although many buyers still took the coachbuilding route - and rightly so, as so many of the convertibles, tourers and shooting brakes were so attractive looking.
Its chassis was quite advanced for the time, with independent front suspension, servo brakes, a four-speed gearbox and the very useful centralised chassis lubrication system.
ABOUT THIS CAR
Chassis #: B44BH
Engine #: B228
Mechanically Sound Car.
This is a 4.3 L referred to as the 4 1⁄4 Litre engine.
Interior in good condition
Complete with Jack, spare wheel, full tool kit
Body and paint in good order – the odd blemish.
Good tyres.
Car drives and handles very well
Various servicing & Maintenance records available with car.
The cost of restoring a Mark VI saloon can be several times the car’s market value; however, once repaired, a Mark VI is relatively inexpensive to maintain and can ably serve as a daily driver. As such, an honest Bentley Mk VI can be a good introduction to classic motoring.
TRANSPORT / SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.
Viewing is STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT only!
NOTE: Price advertised is in New Zealand Dollars.
