1946-51 Bently MK VI, 4-Door Saloon

The Bentley MkV1 was introduced in May 1946. New in all respects, this first post-war Bentley had a 6-cylinder 4 and a quarter litre engine and a newly designed chassis based on a shortened version of the similarly new Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith. The body was a first for Bentley in that it was a standardised unit and made totally of steel. In fact, the full description of the car at launch was the Standard Steel saloon.
