This gorgeous Bentley Speed Six ‘Blue Train’ replica was built by Racing Green Engineering (RGE) in Wales, the impressive automobile was completed in 2014. The recreation was based on a 1950 Bentley Mk 6 chassis, and the skilled RGE craftsmen have fabricated the special ‘Gurney Nutting’ two-door coupé bodywork by hand. All the panels were hand crafted, and the coachwork was hand built. Many hours of skilled labour were invested aiming for perfection. The fully overhauled Mk 6chassis was fitted with a large 5675 cc straight-eight B80 engine mated to a four speed manually operated gearbox. The original steering was upgraded with an electrical power steering unit by EZ. Since completion in 2014, the car has run 4700 kilometres, the car is in excellent condition! The car comes complete its original toolset, historical documentation, and a certificate. This is a rare opportunity to buy a wonderful replica of the legendary ‘one off’ Bentley ‘Blue Train’!
