1952 Bentley Mark VI Park Ward Drophead Coupé
- Engine
- 4.5L straight-six ("big bore")
A 1952 Bentley Mark VI chassis fitted with Park Ward drophead coupe coachwork to design number 99, one of only 57 such aluminium-bodied examples recorded by historian Bernard L. King. Ordered new through W.M. Couper Ltd. for Miss Marjorie Carnegie/Carnegie Chemical Co., the car was specified with a scuttle aerial and fog lamp. It retains its numbers-matching engine, original British registration 'KXD 2', and is accompanied by its factory build sheet. A full restoration was carried out at some prior point, and the car continues to present well.
