The MArk VI was introduced at a time of steel shortage across Europe which translated into a desperate shortage of new cars for sale on the UK market. The chassis and engine went on to be used as the basis of those in the Rolls Royce Silver Wrath of 1945 and Silver Dawn of 1949. Produced from 1940-1952, it was also the first car from Rolls Royce with factory Coachwork but chassis were still supplied to independent coachbuilders
