Buying or Selling a Bentley Corniche MK V?

 

Although many are likely familiar with the Bentley Continental (which was released in 1952), its predecessor and initial concept was named the Bentley Corniche MK V. This lightweight and more aerodynamic prototype was based on the Mark V model that had emerged nearly 13 years earlier in 1939. Given that weight was one of the main concerns of Bentley at the time, the prototype certainly had its place in history. Further, given that the tire design of the period didn’t allow for enough safety on heavy vehicles that were reaching increasingly high-speeds, the prototype was actually a four-door sports saloon with a body designed by Georges Paulin and manufactured by one of the more famous coachbuilders residing in Paris, Vanvooren. Although sources of the time indicate that the model was unfortunately involved in an accident somewhere in France that destroyed most of the model, the remains were returned to Derby and a copy was commissioned by Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust in Derby for future-concerning interests.
