Bentley S1 1960
General description :
1960 Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur by H.J. Mulliner
Chassis number: BC138AR
Registration: 505UYE
A really fine example that has had much money recently spent upon it by the current fastidious owner. Recent works include the brakes being completely gone though & a full bare metal respray being done in a deep solid blue.
The blue exterior is needless to say in unmarked super order. To the interior is stone coloured leather in perfect order throughout. The woodwork is very highly figured & has also been recently removed & refinished. A pair of driving lamps are fitted to the front bumper giving excellent illumination on long distance nocturnal runs.
Under the bonnet the engine bay is also clean & tidy. The odometer shows 92,000 miles which whilst not warranted is highly credible given the lack of wear to the accelerator pedal. The engine pulls strongly at highway speeds & easily overhauls modern traffic. Oil pressure is good & the temperature runs cool. The car is in stock now & can be viewed along with the two tone Grey S2 Spur we have in stock.

About Bentley
Before becoming a mere subsidiary to Rolls-Royce, Bentley was an independent Automaker famous for the "fastest lorries in the world" e.i Bentley 4½ Litre.Good ol' Bentley boys (A group of wealthy British motorists, mainly Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Glen Kidston, S.C.H. "Sammy" Davis, and Dr Dudley Benjafield ) -in their trusty Bentley cars- took four consecutive victories at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930
In 1931 Bentley was taken over British Central Equitable Trust that later proved to be a front for Rolls-Royce Limited. Unhappy with his role at Rolls-Royce, W.O. Bentley left the company when his contract expired in 1935 duly joining Lagonda. This was beginning of which ultimately led Bentley cars to become more or less badge-engineered Rolls-Royce.
