The easier part first. The chassis is a Bentley Mark IV. Now the trickier part. Is it a J Guerney Nutting body?

Unlikely I know but could the coachwork have been by Reading?

bentleybob · « **Reply #8 on:** February 14, 2012, 05:50:11 AM »

Not by Vincents of Reading, (to whom you are probably referring to...)

Brain fade from me, yes it was Vincents I meant

Nope they are all comparitively mass producers

Before I do some additional research on this one I'll have another guess at Lancefield......

bentleybob · « **Reply #15 on:** February 14, 2012, 03:18:01 PM »

I thought they were gone by then, but no, alas..

Djetset · « **Reply #16 on:** February 14, 2012, 03:59:11 PM »

Mulliners (Birmingham) Ltd (as opposed to H. J. Mulliner), as they made some pretty dumpy bodies.

bentleybob · « **Reply #17 on:** February 15, 2012, 03:00:53 AM »

Not them

Lancefield were still exhibiting at Earl's Court in 1948.....
Perhaps this is the Bentley Mk VI that was bodied by Robert (Ronald?) Kent Coachbuilders?

That's it, well done, a one off, obviously based on the Standard Saloon
