Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Gary Wales famous frogskin upholstered Franay Bentley, resplendent with fully enclosed fenders and elaborate chrome swooshes. Marchal head and fog lights, opening windshield, dual spotlights. Displayed everywhere but less intensively in recent years so it is creeping up on a second round of appearances. Meticulously maintained and still in nearly show ready condition.

Market commentary

No Reserve. Saturday Primetime. A spectacular car that owes all its value to its flamboyant coachwork and brilliant presentation. The bidders balanced its instant recognizability against its years of exposure and came up with a very satisfying value compromise. This is by far the most valuable Bentley Mk VI out there, thats for sure.
