1950 BENTLEY MKVI ROADSTER SPECIAL BY THE CHELSEA WORKSHOP
An impressive and highly rare iteration of the Mk VI Bentley having all the grace and presence of its age combined with the mechanical upgrades of having been comprehensively attended to by the famous Chelsea Workshop.
A recognisably Bentley sports car - naturally in British Racing Green - that is comfortable and usable enough to enjoy on long-distance UK and European tours.


Converted in 2002 by Chelsea Workshop - with engineering by Bentley Donnington Sports - on MkVI running gear, this is a carefully wrought car that channels the ethos of pre-war cars.


The thick history file attests to the enthusiasm of its keepers - including a seven-page write-up by a 1960s owner - and includes £18,000 of recent investment.


This Special is one of two built and has a level of provenance rare on these bespoke cars.


This is one for the collector who appreciates quality but also enjoys using and enjoying classics with fellow enthusiasts...
