Bentley Mk VI Park Ward Foursome Coupe, 1950 information

The famous Bentley make, erected by Mr. W.O. Bentley, existed as a independent firm for only twelve years (1919-1931) before the proud firm was taken over by the Rolls Royce motor company.
Those twelve exhilarating Bentley years were filled with racing successes and many victories. The Bentley name as manufacturer of large, heavy, powerful and rugged sportscars was imprinted in the human mind since the "roaring" twenties of the twentieth century.
Bentley motorcars won the famous 24 hours of Le Mans race in the years 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930. The years they did not win the race they finished second or third.
Not only successes at Le Mans were counted but also many victories in the Brooklands 500 mile race.
Races were won with the 4.5 Litre "blower" but most successes were captured by the Speed Six model.

Information

Bentley Mk VI Park Ward Foursome Coupe, year 1950. Colour two-tone silver over Royal Blue Silver metallic. Beige leather interior and beige wool carpet. Blue hood and hood cover. This fantastic Bentley Mk VI is an original Foursome Drophead Coupe built by Park Ward! The automobile has been extensively restored in the past, the automobile is in superb (excellent++) condition, near concours! The automobile comes with an extensive history file and invoices (invoices available from 1980 until present). The car was sold new in the UK. Before the car came to the Netherlands it has been with it's second British owner for 30 years. Recently this beauty received a lot of tender love and care (TLC). The car was largely stripped and given perfect new paint, the brakes were overhauled, a new Sonnenland hood was mounted, the seat foam was renewed, new Michelin tires were fitted and... EZ power steering was fitted! This is a very special Bentley with a rare original Park Ward body. The car is in need of nothing.

This classic car was sold to Belgium by
