Bentley MK6 James Young Saloon (1948) – Design C11, one of only 49 hand-built examples
This rare Bentley MK6 James Young Saloon was first registered on 4 February 1948 and is a prime example of classic British craftsmanship and style. Featuring the sought-after James Young Design C11 coachwork – built only 49 times – this elegant saloon combines heritage and authenticity.
