1939 Mark V Corniche – GRA 270

The ‘Embiricos’ Bentley 4¼ Litre of 1938 inspired Bentley to create an aerodynamic Mark V called the Corniche. 

Only one unit was ever built, and it got lost in France when the war broke out. Not because of the war per se, but because of a crash during testing.

Countless decades later, Bentley’s Mulliner division revealed the recreated original Corniche, after an effort that lasted several years. Initiated by volunteers from the WO Bentley Memorial Foundation and the Sir Henry Royce Memorial Foundation, the project got Mulliner’s backing last year, just in time to have it ready for the carmaker’s 100th anniversary.

The team used only the original technical drawings to recreate the car, and it was built using original Corniche and MkV mechanical components that somehow Bentley seems to have had all this time, just laying around the Crewe facility or elsewhere.
