About this car

The Bentley S1 Continental with H.J. Mulliner's fastback coachwork is among the most elegant British coachbuilt cars of the 1950s, and few were made. This 1957 example is described as freshly restored and award-winning.

It is a later-built S1, fitted with power-assisted steering and the higher-compression engine. Both make it more usable than the earliest cars.

The page gives no mileage, colour or registration, and the chassis number is still to be confirmed. The price is shown with an "Accepted" marker, which suggests an offer has been agreed. Further details are available only to qualified buyers.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Bentley S1 (Continental) chassis specification: 4,887 cc inline six (F-head layout). Bentley never published power output (it was quoted only as 'adequate'). Weight and performance figures for the H.J. Mulliner coachbuilt body vary by car and were not published by the factory, so they are left null.).
