1950 Bentley Mark VI Speed Six Blue Train Recreation for Sale in Germany

This 1950 Bentley Mark VI Speed Six Blue Train Recreation is a used car. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Dark green with a Dark grey interior.

In 1930 Woolf Barnato, chairman of Bentley and three-time Le Mans winner, bet that his Speed Six could beat the Blue Train express from Cannes to Calais, and won. This car recreates the Gurney Nutting body built for him, on the chassis of a 1950 Mark VI with its 4.25-litre six, in dark green over dark grey leather.

German specialists carried out the rebuild to a high standard. Completed about six years ago, the car has since covered some 20,000 km at international events; its long rear-axle ratio makes it relaxed at speed. It is right-hand drive, registered in Germany and comes with extensive documentation.

The car is located in Hamburg, Germany.

The Bentley Mark VI uses the 4,257 cc F-head straight six, enlarged to 4,566 cc in 1951, with a four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh, driving the rear wheels. The separate chassis has independent coil-spring front suspension, rear leaf springs, 12.25-inch drum brakes with a mechanical servo and pedal-operated central lubrication, on a 3,048 mm wheelbase. Bentley never published its power output.
