Specifications


Description

The Bentley Mark VI was the first post-war luxury car from Bentley and 5208 examples were produced.

Announced in May 1946 and produced from 1946 to 1952, it was also both the first car from Rolls-Royce with all-steel coachwork and the first complete car assembled and finished at their factory. These very expensive cars were a genuine, long term success.

This car was first registered in Auckland, New Zealand in 1959.

Various history and maintenance records are available with this car.

In 1968 the gearbox was repaired. The cost of parts was $1100 and the cost of labour at the time was $60.00

The radiator was reconditioned in 1979. In 1980 the motor was overhauled by a reputable Christchurch outlet at a cost of approximately $3K.

1n 1999, work undertaken on the engine included a new head gasket, putting in new studs as well as redoing the manifold and the exhaust.

In 2000 the master cylinder was honed out for brakes and re-sleeved.

From 2003 onwards, maintenance and servicing was mainly carried out by Bruce McIlroy Ltd (Rolls Royce and Bentley specialists in Canterbury). Various receipts available.
