DESCRIPTION
- Presented in remarkable condition with glorious BRG paintwork, beautiful magnolia piped-green leather upholstery and a perfect black hood
- Offered from deceased estate, this handsome Bentley special was carefully selected by a knowledgeable motoring enthusiast to form part of his eclectic collection
- There was no greater exponent of the art of special building using Bentley's Crewe-built chassis than the late Derry Mallalieu who, with the help of his wife, Penny, and the late AF Rivers Fletcher, built a number of bespoke Bentleys that were expertly constructed and well respected within the industry
- This handsome MK VI fires up on-the-button and sounds very healthy having been lightly recommissioned prior to the sale
- Accompanied by paperwork including the V5C showing Historic status, old registration papers, a wealth of old MOTs and various other documents
