Bentley Mark VI car3D Model
The Bentley Mark VI is an automobile from Bentley which was produced from 1946 until 19 The Mark VI 4-door standard steel sports saloon[4] was the first post-war luxury car from Bentley. Announced in May 1946[5] 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 success; long-term, their weakness lay in the inferior steels forced on them by government’s post-war controls.[6]
In 1944 Rolls-Royce executive W. A. Robotham saw that there would be limited postwar demand for a Rolls-Royce or Bentley rolling chassis with a body from a specialist coachbuilder, and negotiated with the Pressed Steel Company a contract for a general-purpose body to carry four people in comfort on their postwar chassis behind a Rolls-Royce or Bentley radiator. Though he stretched the demand to 2000 per year, Pressed Steel were “nonplussed” by the small demand.
