1946 to 1955 Bentley MkVI or R-type. |

This illustrates the folly of close cropped pictures, coachwork details almost totally lacking. |

It’s a shame, because this is not a SSS, it would have been good to know who built the body. |

No more on view, sorry. I know what I think it might be, but there is just not enough on view. |

Nice illustration of spiders-eyes. Only one wiper - did only RRs get 2?? |

Yes, but only one carburettor. Just joking. The early models had Houdaille wipers which I think were not connected, ie two separate motors, and later a Lucas system with a single motor driving a flexible rack and pinion. The wipers are only held on to the splined shafts with a spring clip, perhaps it was removed to permit through the screen filming. If you look closely it is possible to see the other spindle as it emerges through the scuttle. -- Last edit: 2020-05-04 18:38:27 |

I think it may be a MkVI with HJM coachwork, but the information available is so niggardly that I cannot even tell how many doors it has. |

It has rear quarterlights, suggesting 4 doors?? |

Again, it doesn’t really add a lot, but still. The lower corners of the windscreen and the swage lines on the front wings which increase in distance from the edges say that the car is not a standard body. The choices, IMO, are F & W, or HJM, and the base of the screen, again opinion only, rules out F & W. Although not a certainty, the tendency is that earlier cars do not have the front wings blended into the body sides like an Empress so I think Mk VI. Of course, this could all be fertiliser. I’d really like a view of the back wing. -- Last edit: 2020-05-04 13:48:27 |

Thank you, I think that this is a Bentley MkVI wearing a saloon body by H J Mulliner to their design #7059C. Link to "www.classicandsportscar.com" Later, I do, however think that there is something peculiar about the pictures in this. The windscreen looks to have been photoshopped into the pictures, it doesn’t seem to fit properly. Perhaps I had better say “might be” rather than be dogmatic about it. Later Later. I dunno,the screen on EVH 10 looks equally odd. -- Last edit: 2020-05-05 23:13:52 |

In order to provide a date, this design commenced inApril 1947, and 125 examples were delivered to mid 1950, so all on MkVI chassis. |
