Another for the Bentley sub-collection, this is a heavily modified Mk. Vi that started life as a 4-door. The model with closed roof is limited to 150. Details here: https://www.handh.co.uk/auction/lot/38-1948-bentley-mkvi-special-drophead-coupe/?lot=57283&sd=1

If y'all click on the link you will find this is really a Bentley 'hot rod'. The body is fiberglass, but done so well people seeing the 1:1 think it's metal. And instead of the original straight six, they stuffed a 6.75-liter Bentley V8 into it. I'd like to know what its 0-60 time is.

So would i! Given its weight, it isn't likely to be a track burner but I love what was done to the car - the fiberglass body and bigger engine. What a magnificent automobile!
