1952 Bentley Racer MK6
1952 Bentley Racer MK6
A stylish 1952 Bentley MKVI Straight Eight B81 Special Replica. Constructed by a skilled motor engineer using a MKVI standard steel saloon as the basis.
In handsome black with a red hide interior with maroon carpets. A black tonneau cover fits snugly over the cockpit when not in use.
A huge amount of thought went into the construction of this car. As a B81 straight eight engine was to be used, the chassis was lengthened at the front & reduced at the rear by a similar amount. This allowed for the gear box, bulkhead, steering column & foot pedals to be left in situ in their original positions. This also allows for the radiator to be set back giving the car the correct proportions. The B81 engine breathes through four carburettors with the exhaust exiting into a stainless steel straight through unit. A higher ratio 2.88:1 Salisbury differential with Power-lok Limited Slip is fitted allied to Jaguar hydraulic Mark 7 Vacuum servo brakes to the rear of the car allowing the cars tremendous torque to be utilised as opposed to high revs.
This is a fast powerful & quite loud car probably not well suited to shy retiring types.
Behind the seats is useful luggage space for overnight bags etc. The dash board is of turned aluminium with the usual MKVI Bentley instrumentation fitted to it.
A removable battery cut off switch behind the passenger seat adds to security when leaving the car unattended.
This simply stunning 1952 Bentley Racer MKVI Straight Eight B81 Special Replica is a pleasure to drive at speed down country B-roads where it is in its element!
