This Motor Car

Richards of England (ROE) are proud to present this off-market and fully restored RHD 1957 Bentley S1 Fastback. First owned by Peter Cadbury from the well-known chocolatiers ‘Cadbury family’ and one of the few lucky Fastbacks to receive this level of restoration back to its factory specification.

The two-and-a-half-year ‘body-off’ restoration took place at our state-of-the-art workshops. From the chassis to the smallest component, the Bentley was brought back to life with care and attention. With renowned Bentley specialists (Padgett Motor Engineers) being commissioned to rebuild the engine, gear box & differential. All these aspects combined, resulted in a car commended so highly on its condition that it was handpicked to feature in the Bentley Centenary by Opus.


The Restoration

Please view our website for photos of the comprehensive body-off restoration at Richards of England.
