Bentley Mark V
Encyclopedia : B : BE : BEN : Bentley Mark V
The Mark V was Rolls-Royce's second Bentley model. Released in 1939, it had much in common to Rolls' models, including a new-generation straight-6 engine. The engine displaced 4.3 L (4257 cc/259 in³) with a 3.5 in (88.9 mm) bore and 4.5 in (114.3 mm) stroke.
A lightweight and aerodynamic Corniche model was planned, but the outbreak of World War II halted production with just a single example completed.
Production
- Mark V: 11 (plus 4 unfinished)
- Corniche: 1 (plus 3 unfinished)
