The Mark VI was Bentleys first post-war luxury car, announced in May 1946 and produced until 1952.

It was also the first car from Rolls-Royce where they assembled and finished the cars at their factory.

Some coach-built examples were still produced, like this example from Mulliner.

The new car had plenty of modern technology to boast about, the chassis was also very advance for the time with independent front suspension, servo assisted brakes, a four-speed gearbox with synchromesh, and a very useful centralised chassis lubrication system.

The straight-six block was praised by customers and motoring journalists for its smoothness, power and reliability.

This particular example is coming to market from 9 years of ownership, finished in a gorgeous cream over maroon the car has that 1940s class to it.

Importantly, it's a rare "Lightweight" version of the Mark VI, coach-built by H.J.
