Bentley S2 Continental H.J. Mulliner

This is the thirty-sixth of just seventy-one right-hand-drive S2 Continentals bodied by H.J. Mulliner to design number 7514, the aluminium two-door coupe that many regard as the most graceful closed body on the S2 Continental chassis. It uses the 6,230cc aluminium V8 introduced in 1959, with automatic transmission and power steering as standard.

The car was completed in January 1961 in shell grey with a tan interior and supplied through Jack Barclay to its first owner in Norfolk. It later spent years with a family in Italy and was stored unused before returning to London in 2016. It is still registered in the European Union.

Recent work has included a repaint in Tudor Grey over black, restored chrome and woodwork, a new headlining and carpets, and a mechanical review. The original tan leather has been kept. It comes with copy chassis cards, tools and invoices for the recent work. No mileage is stated.
