New interior for my Mk 6 special

The new interior has finally been completed, only problem is that it now makes the rest of the car look decidedly scruffy so a respray is now on the list of things to be done

Mark,

Likewise,but what happened to Ivan Shaw, and his beautiful special?

Mark Taxis · Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2015 11:23 am Post subject:

As far as I know he still has the special, in fact the seats in my car were indirectly purchased through him, I think he had them made for a customers special and they were never fitted for whatever reason

Previously unpublished photographs. I saw this car first of all in 1999, and never wanted another Bentley. Note the Bugatti Atlantic raised seam, and the rear lamp clusters!

Excellent photos Chris.
For me it's the dashboard that does it. It's a practical work of art.

Just for you Barrie, it is all a work of art, particularly sans the coloured piping.

Can you see the small additional door catch?

That's stunning.
