History: specific events & topics; Motor cars: general interest

A comprehensive celebration of the Bentley Mk VI.

The Bentley Mk VI was the best-selling model produced by Rolls-Royce Ltd when motor car production resumed at Crewe after World War II. This model later evolved into the R-Type and the Bentley Continental, as well as a Rolls-Royce counterpart, the Silver Dawn.

The most radical post-war change was the fitting of standardized pressed steel bodies, though some 20% of Bentley Mk VIs and somewhat lesser percentages of the R-Type and Silver Dawn models, as well as 100% of the Bentley Continentals, continued the pre-war practice of having custom bodies from such coachbuilders as Park Ward, Hooper, and H.J. Mulliner. Comprehensive histories of these and other coachbuilders are included in this book, and all cars fitted with coachbuilt bodies are listed. This is a companion book to Martin Bennett's Rolls-Royce: the Post-War Phantoms IV V VI and Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith.

""Martin Bennett's 353-page, $150 celebration takes a comprehensive look at all facets of this popular series of cars, from conception and engineering, through to marketing and beyond. Highly recommended.""-- ""Magneto"" ""Bennett's track record is exemplary, and the depth and breadth of his research and knowledge are fully on display in this skillful exposition of every aspect of Bentley's mainstays from 1946-55. . . . Bentley Mk VI & R-Type thus immediately becomes the definitive work on the Mk VI and R-Type.""-- ""Bentley Drivers Club""
