Rare vintage Bentley found tucked away in old barn for 30 years is set to sell at auction for staggering sum
A RARE vintage Bently left untouched for 30 years is about to sell for a staggering amount of money. The luxury motor from the 1950s was hidden in a barn and will finally see the light of day again hen it goes up for auction. 7 7 The chic car is a Charlie Watton A rare vintage Bentley which has belonged to its owner's family for six decades. The 1950 Bentley Mark VI relic was capable of 100mph in its prime, thanks to its powerful 4257cc OISE straight-six engine. Although it needs a major restoration to make it viable, much of the original interior is still intact. It still has its original leatherwork and veneer, and has a chic, dark grey paint-job. However, moths have ravaged the original wool inside the car First developed in 1946, the car was the first Bentley to be equipped with factory-designed coachwork. Pristine versions of the designer car often sell for anything from £15,000 to £150,000. As a true vintage relic, its sellers are hoping to get as much as possible in the auction. According to Luxury Auto News, the car was acquired by the seller's late father in the 1960s. It was used for its former owner's wedding and was passed down to his daughter in 2023, when he sadly passed away. Watch moment car thief boy, 9, sneaks into uninsured £135k PORSCHE to go on daring joyride - but it doesn't end well The Mark VI was the first car to be assembled in Rolls-Royce's Crew factory, instead of Bentley's site in Derby. Now, the car is heading back to Derbyshire, where it will go on sale as part of the H&H Classics Pavilion Gardens auction in Buxton. Bidding will be closed on July 30. Ahead of the event, a spokesperson for the auction site opened up about the luxury car. The spokesperson said: 'Now offered without reserve and presenting a dilemma for any would-be purchaser as to whether to preserve its years of patination or restore it back to its former glory. 'The Bentley is offered with a current UK V5C, owners handbook and a handful of old MoT test certificates and tax discs.' The news comes after a pensioner's car collection went on sale for £1 million. Frank Loft began adding cars to his Moretonhampstead Motor Museum in Devon in 2008 and eventually managed to acquire 120 vehicles. 7 He has a mix of high-end and more affordable cars in his collection, with the high end motors including: 1930s Rolls-Royce worth £26,000, a 1959 Jaguar XK150 worth £50,000 and a 1970 Ford Cortina Lotus Mk II, worth £30,000. After years of collecting motors, Frank decided to switch gear and take advantage of his retirement. He said: "It's a hobby gone out of control. Museums aren't a business you go into thinking you're going to make a fortune. "I have enjoyed more or less every moment, it's been a great experience. It's been a pleasure to welcome tens of thousands of visitors over the years. "My body's telling me it's time I had a break. "I haven't decided what I'll do now but I'll probably find another project, I've always been a bit of a workaholic.' 7 7 7
