Specification
Vehicle: Bentley Mark 6
Date: 1952
Engine: 4.7 litre
Specifications: 4 door, rear wheel drive, side exhaust and overhead intake valves. This model has a 4 speed manual gearbox, with the gear shift on the right hand side, by the driver’s door, so the chauffer couldn’t touch his ladyship’s legs by mistake when changing gear.
Original condition: on the road and driving, looking in fairly nice condition… but all was not as it seemed.
History

There is not much known about its original owners. Today it is part of a wedding fleet, belonging to Country Style Wedding Cars, of Elsted, West Sussex.

And now the fun begins. It's rotten and it's going to have to be removed.
