1951 Bentley Mark VI This is the car's original, numbers-matching 4.25-liter inline-6 engine. Everything forward of the firewall (including the firewall itself) was restored and rebuilt by noted Rolls-Royce/Bentley expert James Jaworski of Berea Motor Works. There are pages of the work that was completed and I can go through the items in detail if requested. The work was done in 1989, but the car has traveled only 8000 miles since then, so it remains in first-class mechanical condition throughout. I have dozens of restoration photos showing the entire process. It was also highly detailed, including painting the firewall and all ancillary components, correct fittings and clamps. Bentleys received twin carburetors while Rolls-Royce only used one, so performance is notably improved. Add in the 4-speed manual gearbox, and this Bentley is a lot of fun to drive. You will note in the factory documentation that this car was special-ordered with a bench seat, and it remains in place today. The front seat was reupholstered in 2014, while the rear seat appears to be wearing its original leather, which remains in very good condition. The doors are correctly upholstered in matching gray leather and the carpets are in good condition. All of the timber in the car, including the veneers on the dash and garnish moldings, is in excellent condition with no cracking. The big steering wheel shows a few surface cracks but nothing substantial. The factory tool kit remains tucked under the glove box. Both the front and rear seats enjoy a fold-down armrest, with the back seat also receiving a drop-down tray table complements of the special-order front bench seat. There's also a factory sunroof overhead, along with what is likely the original gray wool broadcloth headliner. In the trunk you will also find a spare tire, wheel cover wrench, and factory jack assembly. The undercarriage appears to be largely original. It has been maintained.Body Style: SedanDoors: 4Fuel Type: Gas
