About this car

This is a 1958 Bentley S1 Continental with drophead coupé bodywork by Park Ward, built to Design No 700. That design is often regarded as the best-looking open post-war Bentley, and the aluminium body adds to its appeal with collectors.

It is one of only 58 right-hand-drive Park Ward drophead coupés on the S1 Continental chassis. The car comes from a prominent UK collection, where it sat alongside an S1 Continental fastback. The dealer describes the condition as impeccable and says a large history file is available on request. Mileage, colour and chassis details are not given on the page. The chassis number and registration are available only to qualified buyers.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Engine specs from Bentley factory data (4,887cc inline-six). Bentley never published power output, and coachbuilt weight and performance figures came from period road tests, not the factory, so they are null.).

Engine: 4,887 cc, 6 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
