UPPER: This view of the standard
steel saloon assembly area is where
the bodies are nearing the point at
which they would be united with their
chassis. In the foreground are two
Bentley Mark VI engines that have
been mated to their clutches and
gearboxes in readiness for installation
in their chassis.

LEFT: This is the final rectification bay
at Crewe with very early (note the
rearward-leaning Winged-’B’ mascots)
Bentley Mark VI cars being made
ready for transport to dealers. Some
are not yet polished and some are
even awaiting the fitting of their bon-
nets.
