BENTLEY
MARK VI & R-TYPE Martin
Bennett
Including the Bentley Continental and the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn
This book is a celebration of the
best-selling model produced by
Rolls-Royce Ltd when motor car
production resumed at Crewe
after World War II – the Bentley
Mk VI. That model later evolved
into the R-Type and the Bentley
Continental, as well as a Rolls-
Royce counterpart, the Silver
Dawn. The most radical post-
war change was the fitting of
standardised pressed steel bodies,
though some 20% of Bentley
Mark VIs and somewhat lesser
percentages of the R-Type and
Silver Dawn models, as well as
100% of the Bentley Continentals,
continued the pre-war practice
of having custom bodies from
such coachbuilders as Park
Ward, Hooper and H.J. Mulliner.
Comprehensive histories of these
and other coachbuilders are
included and all cars fitted with
coachbuilt bodies are listed.
