Bentley S1 Continental Fastback by H.J. Mulliner 1956

Allmän beskrivning : 1956 Bentley S1 Continental Fastback by H.J. Mulliner

Chassis number: BC17BG
Registration number: BC17BG (Retained by Previous owners family.)

A beautiful early car last sold by P & A wood 2 years ago. This car comes to us with a massive history file dating back to the early 1960's. Since then it has had vast sums spent on it at an assortment of well known & highly regarded speciailists including a massively expensive respray in tudor grey metallic.

To the interior is cream leather in fine patinated order throughout. The woodowrk has all been removed & refinished to a mirror like polish accenting the fine figuring.

On the road the car drives superbly. Gear changes are seamless; the suspension supple, the engine a strong silent performer. Indeed to drive a sorted example such as this brings home to one just how special these cars were when new.

Good ol 'Bentley boys (En grupp förmögna brittiska bilister, huvudsakligen Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin, steeplechaser George mattare, flygare Glen Kidston, SCH "Sammy" Davis, och Dr Dudley Benjafield) -in sin trogna Bentley bilar-tog fyra raka segrar på 24 timmars Le Mans 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930
