Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1952 Bentley Mk VI has undergone extensive mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment, including an upgraded Continental S1-spec engine and improved handling, making it a highly capable classic driver.
While the paintwork and mechanicals are immaculate, there are a few minor cosmetic blemishes like a windscreen chip and damaged quarterlight, with the carpets also noted as being slightly below the overall high standard.
Condition
8
The car is described as being in immaculate condition with no obvious flaws in the paintwork, and the shutlines are excellent. The interior features a beautiful patina on the seats and professionally installed replacements for worn items. The mechanical components have been extensively rebuilt and upgraded. Minor flaws noted include a chip in the windscreen, a chip on the rear numberplate surround, and damage to the nearside front quarterlight. The carpets are not to the same standard as the rest of the interior, and there are light scratches around the driver's window winder and light cracks in some leather.

Finished in Tudor Grey with an Oxblood leather interior, the seller describes ‘NPO 999’ as “a motor-car that’s been driven rather than participated in concours d’élégance.” And it drives rather well thanks to a combination of fastidious curation and a carefully chosen modifications that include a Norman Geeson high-ratio rear axle, a down-to-the-split-pins rebuilt of the 4.9-litre S1 Continental-specification engine, twin two-inch SU carburettors that send fuel to the engine via a Big Valve head, and modifications to the cooling system.
The result is a MK VI that can reach a little over 110mph, at which point the engine is turning over at a leisurely 4,000rpm.
Perhaps more usefully, it is happy to cruise at 80mph all day, every day, something that presumably leaves drivers of modern cars dumbfounded.
He’s a man who takes pride in doing things properly and insists on being able to drive his cars without having to make any allowance for their age.
No wonder he’s been happy to keep it...
