The launch of the Bentley Mk VI in 1946 marked a significant change in policy for Rolls-Royce by being the company’s first model to be sold complete with standardised coachwork; previously both Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars had been manufactured in chassis form only before being bodied by independent coachbuilders.
This change came about as the result of a rationalisation programme instigated during World War II, it being realised that if Rolls-Royce Motors was to survive in the post-war era a substantial increase in sales and a reduction in costs were both essential.
Announced in May 1946, the Mk VI featured a strong channel section chassis with independent wishbone/coil spring front suspension and a live, leaf-sprung rear axle. Drum brakes were fitted all round, with Rolls-Royce’s mechanic
