The Mark VI would become the first model produced at Crewe and marked a significant departure from pre-war traditions. Most notably, it was the first Bentley offered with factory-designed coachwork, a pivotal move that signaled the company's intent to modernize and streamline production. Closely related to the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, the Mark VI differed primarily in trim, grille design, and badging, but shared all major mechanical components, including the 4,257cc F-head straight-six engine. This engine, fitted with twin SU carburetors and estimated to produce 130 horsepower, was paired with a four-speed synchromesh manual gearbox. Independent front suspension, hydraulic front brakes, and a live rear axle with leaf springs gave the Mark VI capable road manners for its era. Between 1946 and 1952, Bentley produced just 4,946 Mark VIs, of which only a limited number featured custom coachwork by renowned firms such as Park Ward. This elegant 1950 Bentley Mark VI Drophead Coupe, chassis number B441FU, is a documented, matching-numbers example with significant historical provenance. According to factory records on file, the car was bodied by Park Ward & Co. Ltd. and delivered new to Switzerland, where it is believed to have been displayed at the 1950 Geneva Salon under the auspices of Garage de L'Athenée. Its first owner was Madame Meeking, a resident of the famed Hotel Beau Rivage in Geneva, who took delivery on March 14, 1950. Factory records specify several unique features tailored to her order, including: Cream over Black livery with a matching black interior (the original color scheme remains largely preserved), power-operated convertible top, Kilometer odometer, special stop and reverse lamps, and no inset license plate on the trunk lid-a distinguishing feature typically omitted for Continental-delivered cars. Madame Meeking kept the car only briefly, selling it later in 1950 to a Parisian gentleman, Mr. Richepin of Avenue Foch, who became its second recorded owner. By the early 2000s, the car had journeyed to the United States, finding a home in California with Mr. Charles Arenson. It later passed through a noted Los Angeles dealer before acquisition by the most recent Georgia owner in August 2007, and added to our collection here at the St. Louis Car Museum in April 2022. Today, this Bentley presents splendidly as a well-preserved example that retains much of its period charm. The interior features black leather with custom white piping, which shows honest patina and some color loss consistent with age and use. Period details, including a dashboard radio, remain intact. The exterior paintwork displays uniform coverage from a past repaint, now showing age at panel joints, door jambs, and other high-contact areas. This 1950 Bentley Mark VI Drophead Coupe is a rare and stylish example of postwar British coachbuilding, distinguished by its Geneva Salon provenance, European delivery, and unique specification. Included in the sale are the original owner's handbook, factory build documentation, and tools in the period tray-all valuable items that enhance the car's authenticity and collector appeal. With its elegant Park Ward design, known early ownership history, and matching-numbers integrity, it presents a compelling opportunity for collectors seeking a Bentley with both style and story. Whether returned to show-standard condition or enjoyed as a charismatic preservation-class tourer, this Mark VI offers a rich and rewarding ownership experience. https://www.stlouiscarmuseum.com/vehicles/1213/1950-bentley-mark-vi-drophead-coupe Bentley Mk VI https://www.hotrodhotline.com/forsale/vehicles/bentley/mk_vi/1949/listing/221439 From the 1920s onward, it was not uncommon to see Bentley cars commissioned for work on wealthy owner's estates. Their rugged, reliable and yet sporting poise being perfect mounts for their owners and friends to be escorted to the farer realms of the land. Frequently vehicles were converted to this more commercial purpose in their later life, when, rather than parting with a trusted old car, the 'family friend' was shipped off to a coachbuilder for repurposing. More unusual was for cars to be commissioned this way from new, and in this respect the Bentley we present here is something of some rarity. It was ordered by its first owner in the form that we still see it in today. The coachbuilder was Rippon Brothers, a house that could chart its history back to the carriage building days of the late 1890s, and then the incubation of the motorcar. Based in the North of England, and originating in Huddersfield, at its peak it could count showrooms in various locations including Bradford, Leeds, Sheffield and West Riding. Although after the war, they were predominantly concerned with selling cars rather than building them. In the wealthy textiles industry of Yorkshire and the Midlands, they found a burgeoning clientele and were well patronized by their local market. The factory records on file confirm B91FU to have been built as a 'Shooting Brake', and the original owner of the Bentley fitted that mold perfectly. Colonel George Hammond Aykroyd was part of the family dynasty that ran the huge carpet business of T. F. Firth and Company in Bailiff Bridge in the West Yorkshire county of the United Kingdom, as they would have said 'a stone's throw' from Rippon. Most likely reflecting the extreme costs of such an exercise in the conservative postwar Britain, he was one of only two people to have one of these cars built, and curiously enough today, both have found their way to the USA. As a Master of Foxhounds, Col. Aykroyd's Shooting Brake would have been most likely been used for the type of work its name suggests, hunting. Sensibly, the spare tire was moved to free up space in the rear of the car and placed on the front right fender, while its rear seat could be folded forward, or removed entirely, for further storage if necessary. It is believed that the trusty 'Brake remained in the family for some years, no doubt having seen routine service at hunting parties on the Moors. In 1961 the Bentley moved south to the Bristol area and became the property of R. Acheson Crow. This is the last recorded British owner, before the car migrated to the US in 1980 and arrived in the distinctly different climate of California, with its next custodian Michael R. Clark, who maintained the car for nearly a decade. The next keeper was noted collector Warren French, in whose care the car was a frequent sight on Rolls-Royce Owners Club events. Records on file depict and note how appropriate the car looked at a Winery tour! After some years of Mr. French's ownership, the Shooting Brake began a new chapter of its life on the East Coast with the much-respected collector, Henry Petronis of Easton, Maryland. Mr. Petronis' status as a true connoisseur of the automobile was well founded for his garages at his Normandie home at one time housed such serious machinery as Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, multiple Bugattis, and the famed Captain Hewitt 8 Liter Bentley. In this period the car was repainted in a Royal Blue scheme and its original upholstery was refurbished from a light blue to the more handsome contrasting dark tan it wears today. This work has now aged in places where it sees the most use, being around the hood latching areas and at the door surrounds. The woodwork appears to have been beautifully preserved and sympathetically refinished and is of particular appeal. The last custodian of this charming 'wagon' acquired the car publicly from noted collector Craig McCaw in 2016. On arrival it was sent to Automotive Restorations to work through the technical aspect and to put it into a more satisfactorily reliable condition, including interior controls nicely labeled. Since when it has been used periodically on trips to the golf club and other such excursions. An exceptional rarity, the 'Brake' would make a refreshing alternative to your Wrangler or Hummer at any beach, or indeed at a race circuit paddock.
