Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 593 votes
 1948 Bentley Mk6. Body designed by James Young. built by Gurney Nutting. The car is a subject to a complete frame-off restoration. As it can be seen on the pictures. it was completely dismantled. all the rotten wooden structure was changed. the rusted inner steel parts of the body were changed. along with the dented or corroded alloy body panels. Then the body was removed from the chassis. the old coats of paint were removed to bare metal. and repainted in factory black color. The body was mounted back on the chassis then. the remains of paint were completely removed to bare metal. every door and fender was mounted back on the car to check their proper fit. Now the car is in a paint shop. While the base of the new paintjob is getting applied. the leather interior is getting reupholstered. and every chrome part is getting rechromed. Veneer is also getting renewed. Buyer can choose the exterior and interior colours. The car has clean papers (UK V5). and interesting documentation. including a build sheet. correspondence. bills. etc. Sale price includes the finishing of the car.

Private sale. no warranty is given. The car is advertised elsewhere. I reserve the right to withdraw it from the auction. Transport can be arranged. I'm open to any questions.

Is this car still for sale please? I am very interested. I owned it 1972-79.

Dear Roger,

I sold this Mk VI about 5 years ago at V&P, London. I calculate project prices and not charging by the hour. How many hours does a car need? That's a difficult question as conditions can be very different.
You can take a look how the finished car looked:

Bentley Mark VI.

Dear Sir,
Do you speak English and if so, what is your telephone number and address, I have a similar car to the one you are selling, how much do you charge per hour and how many hours do you take to do such a restoration?

Kind Regards
Roger
