General description :
1959 Bentley S1 Standard Steel Saloon
Registration Number: 941HYT
Chassis number: B69GD
Nut & bolt BRAND NEW: This car simply put is as it left the factory having covered minimal miles since a painsatking restoration spanning many years. We have never had an S series Bentley approaching this level of quality before. Every component has been removed, stripped & rebuilt to like new.
The car is finished in smoke over sage green, with a dark green hide interior, & dark green carpets. The correct hard wearing black carpet has been replicated in the boot. All of the above of course being in as new condition.
Nothing more need be said about it as the quality of the car speaks for itself with perfect paint, perfect door shuts, & an engine that is barely audible.

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.
