Our Verdict

Proceed with caution and expert guidance, as this is a significant investment. While the MOT history is largely clean, the mechanical complexity of a 1928 6.5-litre Bentley requires a specialist inspection.

When purchasing a vehicle of this age and prestige, do not rely on standard modern inspection techniques. You must engage a specialist vintage Bentley mechanic to assess the 6500cc engine and the integrity of the chassis. Ensure that any recent maintenance, particularly following the 2024 brake efficiency failure, has been documented with specialist receipts.

Negotiate based on the completeness of the provenance. For a car first registered in June 1928, documentation of its history is as valuable as the metal itself. Check for evidence of recent brake system overhauls, as the 2024 failure indicates this is a critical maintenance area for this specific vehicle.
