To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The
S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019.
Estimate:
€20,000 - €30,000
- Delivered new to England, interesting original owner
- Stately two-tone black-and-silver colour scheme
First delivered in March of 1950, this Mark VI boasts its original
saloon coachwork and was originally finished painted black, but now
wears attractive, two-tone black-and-silver paintwork over a grey
leather interior. Delivered new to its native England, its first
owner was noted as being Arthur Croft of Crofts (Engineers) Ltd of
Bradford. Mr Croft grew his family business into one of the largest
manufacturers of power transmission equipment in the world. Three
years after taking delivery, he was knighted for his
accomplishments in business.
Passing through an owner in the US before being exported to
Portugal, its older restoration presents well throughout. Stately,
luxurious, and beautifully appointed, these cars are some of
Bentley's most well-regarded post-war automobiles, and it is easy
to see why.
- Entregue novo em Inglaterra a um ilustre primeiro dono
- Faustosa combina��o em dois tons de preto e prata
Entregue novo em Inglaterra, em mar�o de 1950, este Mark VI teve
como primeiro dono o distinto Arthur Croft da Crofts (Engineers)
Ltd, de Bradford. O Sr. Croft desenvolveu a empresa da fam�lia, que
se tornou um dos maiores fabricantes do mundo de equipamento para
transmiss�o de energia. Tr�s anos depois de lhe ser entregue este
Bentley, foi condecorado pelos seus feitos enquanto empres�rio. O
Bentley ostenta ainda a sua carro�aria original, que estava
inicialmente lacada a preto. Exibe agora uma atraente combina��o de
dois tons de preto e cinza prata, com interior em pele
cinzenta.
Passando por um dono nos EUA, antes de ser enviado para Portugal,
apresenta-se num bom estado geral, merc� de um restauro antigo.
Imponentes, luxuosos e bem equipados, os Mark VI s�o dos Bentley
p�s-Guerra mais conceituados e � f�cil perceber porqu�.To view this
