In 1946 Bentley introduced the Mark VI which stayed in production until 1952 with just over 5200 examples being produced. The Mark VI's were large and impressive four-door automobiles. This marked the first automobile completely constructed by Rolls Royce and signified their desire to move towards a 'standardized' body construction. Prior to this, Rolls Royce and Bentley provided a rolling chassis to coachbuilders. The vehicle was then outfitted, often under the direction of the individual buyer. This meant that the specifications often varied and each creation was a unique design. Around 1000 of the Bentley Mark VI's were sent to individual coachbuilders. Some of the notable coachbuilders were Freestone & Webb, H.J. Mulliner, James Young, Pinin Farina, Franay, Park Ward, Saoutchik and Facel. Freestone & Webb were known for their ''Top Hat'' and ''Razor Edge'' styling. These rare creations were given additional attention to detail to satisfy their exclusive clientele. In modern times, they are highly sought after.
