About this car

This is a 1958 Bentley S1 Continental with Park Ward drophead coupe coachwork, a body style often regarded as the most desirable of the post-war open Bentleys. It is a right-hand-drive car, one of only 58 built that way out of a total of 89.

The car is finished in Astral Blue with a dark blue mohair hood and dark red hide interior. It has air conditioning, power steering and a power-operated hood. The chassis number is BC27EL.

It has had one owner since 1998 and comes with extensive history. It has been restored to a very high standard in recent years and is described as being in concours condition. The registration number will stay with the current owner, and the car is not on site, so viewings are by arrangement.
