*Interesting way into Bentley special ownership
*Built by Harry Rose
*Immense fun
By the late 1960s many Bentley MkVIs had succumbed to serious body rot, yet their mechanicals remained in first-class order. The result was the rise of the Bentley specials movement, and MPH is pleased to offer one originally built by one of the Bentley specials movement's leading lights, Harry Rose. The result is a an unashamedly honest, simple example with better proportion s than many later examples. The bodywork and running boards remain in good order, as does the paint and the chunky-tread tyres (fitted to steel wheels) appear in good order. The interior is reasonably basic but tidy. Twin bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl and tidy, as is the carpet, and the wooden dashboard houses a selection of useful instrumentation. Interested parties will be pleased to know that when the conversion was carried out a larger, 4.9-litre engine was fitted while more recent work includes the fitting of a racing-specification radiator and upgrades to the fuel system.
