1949 Bentley Mark VI Woodie VIN: B91FU Rippon Brothers of Huddersfield were Britains oldest coachbuilder, having built coaches for Queen Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots. The companys reputation for excellence was rooted in its association with Rolls-Royce, having built its first body for what was a new make in 1906 and later landing an exclusive manufacturing deal with Rolls-Royce until 1958. Rippon built bodies for Rolls, Bentley and many other marques which included those of Delage, Daimler, Lanchester and Renault. Here we have one of the two handmade woodie bodied Mark VIs made by Rippon. The estate car, called a touring saloon by Rippon, is a unique car in almost every respect from its stunning wood bodywork to its well appointed interior. Not be confused with Harold Radfords 1947 Countryman
