The owner is donating all proceeds from the auction of this car to the Tim Venturi Bladder Cancer Awareness Foundation which benefits Loma Linda University in Redlands California for Urology research. The current owner of this car credits these folks with saving his life.

By 1951, Bentley had been a part of Rolls-Royce for twenty years. The Bentley Mk VI series, which was introduced at the end of WWII in 1946, marked a distinction in Rolls-Royce history for two reasons. It was the first vehicle they assembled with an entirely steel body and it was the first vehicle they assembled completely in-house.

Offered here is a beautiful black four-door Bentley finished with a lovely tan interior accented by a significant amount of wood trim. It has had a mechanical restoration and is said to have 38,000 actual miles. The engine is a 4.5-liter straight-six cylinder engine that is married to a four-speed synchromesh manual transmission.

Included with the sale of this mechanically-sound car is all the original paper work, along with the original window sticker and a binder full of receipts and information on mechanical services.
