It was in 1955 that the Bentley S1 was born. Completely new, designed and manufactured in Crewe, it delivered a high performance for its time and category, while keeping the brand's tradition of great luxury when it comes to its equipment. Its tight bodywork displayed a stylish appearance which would become a symbol for some of the aristocracy.
This specific example is part of the first Bentley S generation and was registered on 2 October 1959. It joined the collection in 2014 and although not having a star on top of its grille, it is easy to comprehend that its distinction stands out from the crowd. Indeed, it has a classic two-tone grey and black livery redone several years ago. The bodywork alignments are good and as it should be for an automobile of this pedigree. The underbody is in original condition and will deserve to be revised. When seating inside this luxurious left-hand drive car, we are greeted by a completely restored red leather upholstery, complemented with walnut burl woodwork. Many works have been carried out since its purchase, including a repair of the braking system in 2014 and the following year, a repair of the radiator and the heating valves. In 2016, the gearbox was restored for an amount exceeding €7, 000. The air conditioning system is missing, while the tires show little wear. An expert report produced in 2019 is available to buyers keen to travel in a car dedicated for the elite.
