The provenance
History.
Notable
- ◆ 1 of 57 LWB built
- ◆ Royal Moroccan provenance
Only 57 long-wheelbase Bentley Silver Cloud IIs were ever built. Betsie was first owned by King Hassan II of Morocco.
She travelled to South Africa for promotional work, then on to Perth with a migrating family who knew her as ‘Big Betha’. Always Classic Cars acquired her in 2009 and gave her the name Betsie.
The extra wheelbase length, nearly five inches more than the standard car, transforms the rear passenger compartment into something genuinely palatial. For tall brides with voluminous gowns, Betsie’s extended rear is the practical choice.
