Although the original body was destroyed in the war, it was the precursor to the iconic R Type Continental of 1952. To celebrate Bentley\u2019s 2019 centenary, the Corniche was recreated using a combination of original Mark V parts and the specialist fabrication skills of Mulliner, Bentley\u2019s in-house bespoke and coachbuilding division.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Exploring Aerodynamics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the late 1930s the \u2018Embiricos\u2019 Bentley, designed by Georges Paulin and bodied by Pourtout, had shown the value of aerodynamics for fast road and track driving. Its success inspired Bentley to commission a one-off 4-door Mark V in a similar \u2018streamlined\u2019 style. A Mark V prototype chassis (14BV) was sent to France, where Bentley designer Ivan Evernden worked jointly with Paulin at the Paris workshops of Carosserie Vanvooren. The car, named \u2018Corniche\u2019, was intended to be shown at the 1939 London Motor Show alongside other coachbuilders\u2019 offerings for the Mark V chassis.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A Troubled History<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In 1939 a prototype lapped Brooklands at 109 mph (175 km\/h), and a full test programme began. Unfortunately, in August 1939 test driver Percy Rose crashed the car in France, damaging the bodywork. With the outbreak of war in September 1939 the London Motor Show was cancelled, halting work on all versions of the Mark V. Meanwhile the repaired Corniche body had been taken to Dieppe for shipping back to the UK but was destroyed when the docks were bombed.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Missing Link Recreated<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Though it never saw production, the Corniche is significant model in Bentley history, linking the pre-war Embiricos 4\u00bc litre with the R Type Continental of 1952. A project to recreate the Corniche was started by historian Ken Lea and volunteers from the W.O. Bentley Memorial Foundation, but it was brought in-house in February 2018 and completed in time for the centenary celebrations. Using original technical drawings, the one-off Corniche was rebuilt by the Mulliner team in Crewe using Mark V mechanical components and an all-new body and interior, identical in every detail to the original. It is finished in period-correct Imperial Maroon with a side flash of Heather Grey, while the interior was trimmed in typical Vanvooren style using the correct Connolly Vaumol hide and West of England cloth.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Specs &amp; Details<\/h3>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Date Produced<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>1938-1939<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Number Built<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>4 chassis; 1 complete car (destroyed 1939); one-off recreation 2019<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Body<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Original saloon body by Van Vooren, recreated by Mulliner, Bentley\u2019s in-house coachbuilding division in 2019. 4-doors, 5-seats; weight approx. 1,727 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Engine<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>6-cylinder, 4257 cc.
