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.

Even the world’s two top luxury automakers, Bentley and Rolls-Royce, have embraced the SUV trend. Bentley introduced their contender with the Bentayga in 2015, as their first ever SUV. Sitting on a platform shared with Audi’s Q8, Lamborghini’s Urus and Porsche’s Cayenne, the Bentayga comes with an unmatched blend of luxury, high quality and driving pleasure. Bentley has always offered more of a driver-focused tilt unlike Rolls-Royce, and the Bentayga is no exception. That’s why you’ll love driving this 2022 Bentley Bentayga Speed. Up for sale in Spring, Texas with over 42,000 miles on the clock, it’s got a twin-turbo W12 engine, white leather on the inside, an automatic transmission and more.
A Sixties Bentley is one of the best ways to experience mid-century British luxury, at the time when automakers were discovering and embracing some of the technologies that are commonplace even in 2026. One of Bentley’s signature offerings of the Sixties was the S3. Produced between 1962 and 1965 as the successor to the S2, the S3 merely improved upon the S2 rather than being a comprehensive evolution. Now, you can experience what an S3 is like with this 1965 Bentley S3 from Temecula, California. Packing just under 53,000 miles on the odometer, this Big Bentley comes with a 6.2-liter V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, and a regal two-tone paint job. Talk to us if you’d like to be this car’s next custodian.
Blending breathtaking performance with unmistakable luxury, this 2022 Bentley Continental GTC Speed is anything but subtle.

Beneath the surface lies a powerhouse twin-turbocharged W12, while above, the black convertible top folds away to reveal a handcrafted interior that embodies British elegance and modern innovation. From the dramatic 22-inch Speed wheels to the Bentley Rotating Display and diamond-stitched Beluga leather cabin, every detail has been meticulously curated. This is a grand tourer built for those who crave top-down thrills without compromising refinement, presence, or pedigree.
This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette has been comprehensively reimagined as a high-quality restomod that blends iconic C1 styling with modern performance, drivability, and comfort. Built around a custom tube chassis and powered by a 6.2L naturally aspirated LT1 V8, this example moves well beyond a cosmetic restoration, offering contemporary reliability while preserving the character and proportions that define late-1950s Corvette design. The integration of modern suspension, braking, and interior systems positions this car as a true driver-focused classic rather than a period-correct showpiece.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible represents one of the most iconic and driver-focused configurations of the second-generation C2 platform. Powered by a high-output 327ci naturally aspirated V8 rated at 350 horsepower and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this Corvette emphasizes mechanical engagement, high-revving performance, and classic American sports car character. As a St. Louis–built example finished in factory Rally Red, the car showcases a highly desirable combination of performance, correct specification, and period-correct presentation, making it an excellent representation of mid-1960s Corvette engineering.
