The 1950 Bentley MK 6 is a paragon of British luxury and craftsmanship, a car that perfectly embodies the brand's postwar momentum. It was the first all-new Bentley introduced after World War II and marked an important chapter in the brand's history. For the first time, Bentley decided not only to supply the chassis but also to build the entire body, resulting in a unique and uniform design that exuded elegance and exclusivity. The MK 6 was known for its opulent appearance and quickly became a favorite among the elite.
This 1950 example comes from a private collection and has been registered in the Netherlands since 1997. The car needs some technical attention before it can be driven again.
The Bentley MK 6 was equipped with a robust six-in-line engine, which ensured smooth and quiet performance, just as was expected of Bentley. It was a car that was not only luxurious, but also technically advanced for its time. The high-quality materials and attention to detail in the interior made driving the MK 6 an extraordinary experience. From the leather upholstery to the richly executed woodwork, everything about this Bentley exuded class and sophistication.
The design of the MK 6 was typical of the early 1950s, with its elegant curves and stately grille instantly recognizable as a Bentley. It was a time when handwork and craftsmanship were still the norm, and that is evident in the finish of this car. The Bentley MK 6 was produced in limited numbers, which now makes it a rare and valuable classic that is a real asset to any collection of historic cars.
This Bentley is exempt from road tax and MOT requirements. Owning such a car is not just about having a vehicle, but about preserving a piece of history and heritage. The MK 6 represents an era when luxury, style and performance went hand in hand, and when driving a car was still truly a special experience.
To get a good idea of the car, we advise you to come to one of the viewing days.
