Selling or Buying a Bentley Mark V?

The Bentley Mark V was the second Bentley model made under Rolls-Royce ownership. The new model was announced in 1939 but production was interrupted because of the war and resumed in 1941. The Bentley Mark V was sold as a bare chassis that customers would send to their coachbuilder of choice to be fitted with a bespoke body and interior. The production moved to Crewe after the war and the Bentley Mark V was the last model of the Derby Bentleys. The chassis design was innovative, featuring deep side rails that would reduce flexing and necessitated a redesigned independent front suspension. A new generation, straight-6 engine with a 4.25-liter displacement, overhead inlet and side exhaust valve powered the model. The gearbox featured synchromesh on all ratios except first and reverse and the clutch design was improved for a better driving experience. Suspension featured a leaf-sprung front beam axle for the first time on a Bentley and brakes were servo-assisted.
