The Bentley Mk VI was the first prestige car to appear after the war,
launched in 1946 and the first one to be manufactured completely at the
Rolls-Royce Crewe works. When production ceased in 1952, over 5200 of
these expensive, upmarket, steel sports saloon cars had been produced.
The age of elegance indeed.
