The Mark VI Bentley, first seen in 1946, was powered by a 6-cylinder engine with an inlet-over-exhaust (IOE) valve, 6-cylinder engine of 4,257cc mounted on a separate chassis with independent front suspension; this was quite an engineering advancement for its time. The Mark VI was powerful and beautiful, especially with custom coachwork from one of the many coachbuilders from the United Kingdom and Europe.
This is one of seven Mark VI two-door coupes with one of the more graceful body styles found on the Mark VI chassis, crafted by Hooper & Company of London, the coachbuilders to the Royal Family. Hooper was renowned for its excellent, quality construction and advanced modern design. The design department was led by stylist Osmond Rivers, who was responsible for the flowing Empress fenders, which began at the front of the body and then sweep down the flanks to the rear.
