Coachbuilding is an art form from a bygone era. While a coachbuilt Bentley is almost unheard of these days, a few decades ago it was not so uncommon for Bentley customers to have their car sent to a coachbuilder to commission a more exclusive body. One such example is this exquisite 1951 Bentley Mark VI Special Boattail Speedster. The Mark VI was introduced in 1946 as Bentley’s first post-war model. The chassis were provided to independent coachbuilders and were built as 4 door saloons, 2 door saloons and 2 door drophead coupes. It was also available with a factory body, the “Mark VI standard steel sports saloon”, a 4-door saloon. 1202 4 ½ Litre models were built between 1951 and 1952, with just 180 of them being coachbuilt. Part of the reason for the low overall production numbers was the shortage of steel in Europe, which reportedly led to used models appreciating in value. Some of the more well-known coachbuilt models were those done by H.J. Mulliner, but many other coach-builders also commissioned these cars, including this example built by Northern Coachbuilders of Derbyshire, England.
The most significant aspect of this car is the gleaming, coachbuilt British Racing Green 2-door body. The giant headlamps, the wire wheels and the running boards have “’40s sports car” written all over them. One may be excused for underestimating this car until you go around the back, for here you get the true cherry on top of the design masterpiece that is this bodywork: the rear end. It’s easy to see why it got the “Boattail Speedster” part of it’s name, especially when the roof is down. The interior is color-coded to match the paintwork, with a simple but beautiful wooden dashboard. Being a right-hand drive car, the gear shifter is mounted on the floor on the right-hand side of the driver. The trunk has just enough space for a few small items and the spare wheel, but grocery-getting isn’t typically on the list of uses for a vintage coachbuilt Bentley.
The 4 ½ Litre variant built in 1951 and 1952 had the original displacement of 4.3L increased to 4.6L in the straight 6 engine. Since this is a right-hand drive example, it’s fed through 2 SU carburetors. The rear wheels are driven through a 4-speed synchromesh manual transmission.

A little bit like world boxing heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, it's British, it's a big, heavy brute, and it packs one serious punch. The Bentley Continental GT Speed is a statement of intent from Bentley’s designers. As the automobile industry shifts to electrified powertrains and less polluting engines, Bentley ended the production of its last W12 engine in 2024, which was initially introduced in 2003. That makes this example of the 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed one of the last surviving Bentleys powered by a W12 engine. This Grand Rapids, Michigan-based stunner has 6500 miles on its clock. Boasting multiple specifications, this GT Speed is ready to arrive at its new owner's home.
Today’s luxury cars are dripping with tech, and possibly packing electric powertrains as well. They’ll do everything you ask for except make you a cup of coffee. But with all those electronic systems, computer menus and digital displays, things can get a bit impersonal. After all, a slew of touchscreens doesn’t feel luxurious, does it? That’s why if you want a bit of old-school luxury, a car like this 2008 Bentley Continental GT is the perfect way to go. It’s got a powerful yet whisper quiet V12 under the hood, and comes with plenty of modern features. Yet, those features are largely controlled by tactile buttons and knobs instead of finicky menus on a soulless touchscreen. Coming to you from Lawrence, New York with a mere 19,156 miles reported on the odometer, this car is ready to be your daily driver if you want a bit of digital detoxing without having to go into the 1960s.
One of the most luxurious yet potent sports cars that money can buy is the Bentley Continental.

The Bentley Continental GT/GTC was the first new Bentley released since Volkswagen Group acquired Bentley in 1998. Hence, it’s a fantastic car with which to treat yourself if you’re a petrolhead who’s reached your life’s aspirations and goals. So why not check out this 2022 Bentley Continental GTC V8 from St Petersburg, Florida? The car has got under 6,000 miles on it, making it basically brand new, and comes with a whole list of premium luxury features.
Are you someone who is ready to dip their toes into the classic car world, or a Chevrolet enthusiast who is missing a lovely Chevelle in their collection?

Coronet is one of those names from Dodge that the current generation won’t know about, but the previous one definitely will.

Now, we’ve got a nice fifth-generation 1967 Dodge Coronet for sale, from the period when the Coronet was a midsize car. This particular car is something of a restomod and resides in Anderson, California. Oh, and it’s quite suitable to go racing in, as well as own and cherish. Let’s learn more.
To be an automotive icon one would have to challenge the norm - give car buyers a chance to think out of what they know and fall in love at the same time. Turn back the clock to the 60s and thats exactly what Chevrolet did with the release of its 3rd installation of its legendary Corvette marque. It was the astronauts' chosen machine, a hollywood mainstay and the reason why most automotive dealerships saw a lot of footfall. Present today is an American automotive icon and takes shape with this legendary 1964 Chevrolet Corvette.
