Richard Hudson-Evans reports from the Barons Classic Americana & Collectors Cars Auction held on Tuesday 22 July 2008.
|
|
Although from long term storage, claimed to start and run well, appeared to be structurally sound with no obvious rust to panels, paint very matt and marked howeer, original interior worthy of retention |
|
Even with likely to be costly repaint to fund, well worth within estimate paid |

Some History of the Bentley S1
The new S-type Bentley and Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud from 1955 were powered by the company's 4.9-litre smooth six-cylinder unit, the Bentley with twin SU carburrettors. Coil and wishbone independent front suspension was new, and with four-speed automatic transmission, the S1 was able to convey its occupants in an ambience of leather seats and walnut veneer to speeds approaching 100mph. . .
