Pure elegance.

For one point, please respond and identify this car, the year it was built and the coachbuilder.

Bentley Mark VI with a body by dutch coachbuilder Roos ; made for the dutch Prince Bernhard on a design he had drawn himself ; first displayed at the Brussels Auto Show 1949.

[Wendax]

Yes again. The car was actually built in 1948, but the appearance date you gave is correct. This car is currently for sale, too.

Another point leads you towards professionalism, congratulations.

Identify this car, its builder and from when it dates correctly for 1 point:

I suppose it is a Bentley Mk VI by Graber, about 1946-7

Yes.  I didn't think it looked much like a Bentley...

Yes.  I didn't think it looked much like a Bentley...

I thought so too but it seems not!
It is a Bentley MkVI, but not by Graber.
Have another look

I think it may have been mis-captioned elsewhere on the internet - is it the 1948 Bentley Mk VI designed by Roos for Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands ( or supposedly designed by him and built by them or whatever..)

[targhediferro]

I had this picture in my archive, in a set from Peeble Beach Concours; It's been told it took part in 2000 edition and there was named a Mk VI by Graber.  I actually have some doubt now,  not only because it looks more like a Lagonda than a Bentley, but because all the Graber's Bentley I found (from 46-47-48) have a different look.   Graber realized some 33 vehicles on Mk VI chassis, so it's bossible that one of them was so different from the others, but I'm not sure now.
So, not to loose my chance I guess Tickford (for the Lagonda look), but if it's not, pleas unlock.

Lovely car.  Seems to be a repost.  The original includes specific proof that Roos was involved:

Targhediferro is right - the image on Google leads to Pebble Beach entries for 2000, and according to the caption it is a "Graber Bentley" owned by David and Jill Scheidel.

I am convinced it is the Roos Bentley, and it is pictured at the Royal Palace at Apeldoorn. (I also thought at first it was a Lagonda !) The internet cannot be trusted (or at least the people who caption the pictures can't)

[Carnut]

I got the picture from that Pebble Beach site, which was why I thought it was by Graber..

Had I realised it was the Roos Bentley then I wouldn't have posted it, so I'm going to merge it with no points being awarded (technically it was targhediferro's puzzle but nicanary nipped in whilst I was waiting for targhediferro to reply..)

I think you got a nice choose; I gave a wrong answer so I must have no point; anyway I'm happy having removed a bad mistake from my archive.
