Description:

1948 Bentley Mark VI

A 1948 Bentley Mark VI 2-door sedan finished in Black & Cream, powered by a 4.5-litre inline-six petrol engine with electric assistance paired with an automatic transmission. Odometer indicating 76,140 miles.


Description/Extras:

This post-war Bentley presents as a largely complete and original steel saloon, showing honest age throughout. Originally purchased as a rolling chassis for a custom-body project, the vehicle does crank and start. The engine and mechanicals were previously reported to be in good running condition, offering a solid foundation for restoration or custom coachwork. Previous South Australian registration SA 8156 (expired 1973).
An excellent opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a genuine project car with strong mechanical fundamentals. The Mark VI features the proven 4¼-litre straight-six engine and robust chassis shared with early Rolls-Royce Silver Dawns, marking it as Bentley’s first post-war production car and the first Bentley to feature an all-steel body. Ideal for restoration to original specification or as a base for a period-style special or custom build.
