Ross Marshall, the principal of Marshall Group Inc, located in Knoxville, Tennessee USA , has been a connoisseur of Rolls Royce and Bentleys for over 50 years. His father, the late A.J. Marshall esq., establish a dealership in downtown Sydney, Australia in 1935. Amongst his first cars were the marques of Bentley and Rolls Royce.

After his education at The King's School in Parramatta, and engineering at The Standard Motor Company in Coventry, England in 1956, Ross joined the family new and used car, truck and Ferguson tractor dealership business, with their head office in Parramatta, NSW, Australia. This business later became the largest and most experienced Mercedes Benz dealer in Australia . Marshall Mercedes Benz still flourishes to this day, the family having retired from the business.

In the mid 1980's, Ross decided to go into vehicle manufacturing and re-created the infamous MG TD sports car, a jewel of the ‘50’s, but with a modern drive line supplied by Nissan. After completing the development, he decided to pass the project to larger hands and subsequently relocated to the USA.

Ross is a car collector and connoisseur and is a life member of the Rolls Royce Owners Club, the Derby Bentley Society, and the Bentley Drivers Club. He is still the proud owner of a beautiful original “one off” 1938 Derby Bentley Drop Head VdP Coupe, which he purchased in the mid 1960's in Australia . He is still “car crazy.”

His vast business experience and love for fine automobiles, particularly those sporty cars built in the early twenties and thirties, has led him to his present interest in combining classic design with new technology, reliability, safety and compatibility with modern traffic and road conditions.

W.O. Bentley created the charismatic “blower” Bentley which became synonymous with the late 1920's success of the famous Sir Henry Birkin and his racing team. In order to recreate this era of motoring history, Marshall decided the only way to maintain history was to ”keep it in focus” using modern technology.

Some may say blending the old with the new technology is sacrilegious. That may be so! On the other hand, to save a genuine classic Bentley Mk6 chassis on its way to the scrap heap, bring it back to life with a re-birth combining quality, performance, and yet maintaining the glory, glamour and charisma of by-gone years, is a plus. Furthermore, attracting the younger generation to our Marque with more affordable classic motoring pleasure and opportunities, Marshall sees as significant progress.

The Marshall team is comprised of experts in design, engineering, sheet metal, component production, upholstering, auto electrical, paint work, and general mechanics. This team is able to blend the old with the new, beginning with the original numbered and titled Bentley chassis from the Mk VI, plus a number of items from that car, including specific genuine Lucas accessories and fittings of the era.
Combine this with authentic reproductions of the fabric covered four seat body, folding windscreen, beautifully hand crafted seats with the finest imported leather upholstery, finest fabric carpets and top material, machine-turned aluminum dashboard and beautifully reproduced instruments to the style/ design of the 1930's era Bentleys.Then adding modern engineering and mechanical drive line components will give the ultimate driving pleasure and experience.

Extreme care is taken to ensure style and yet create a car capable of indulging on a daily basis if required, anywhere in the world, The Marshall Bentley Special 30/48.
