Often overlooked, the Bentley S1 makes for perfect classic car motoring. 

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 Bentley S1 was able to convey its occupants in an ambience of leather seats and walnut veneer to speeds approaching 100mph.
