About this car

This is a 1962 Bentley S2 Continental with H.J. Mulliner two-door sports saloon coachwork, chassis BC87CZ. It was first specified in Circassian blue and is now finished in a very dark blue, possibly the original shade, with fine red pin striping.

The page describes significant recent restoration. The underside and engine bay are notably clean and fresh, and the original blue leather and veneers have been kept, so the car mixes patina with refurbishment. It has new whitewall crossply tyres, and blackwall radials can be fitted instead at no extra cost.

The first owner was Harold Watson Hall of Scorborough Hall in Yorkshire. By 1986 the car was in Memphis, and later owners were in Pennsylvania and New York. It is now being UK registered for the first time in many years and will be offered with a fresh MoT and full service. The registration number is still to be confirmed and no mileage is stated.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Bentley/Rolls-Royce factory specs give only the 6,230 cc L-series V8; power was never published (officially 'adequate'), and performance and weight figures come from period road tests and vary by coachbuilt body, so they are left null.).

Engine: 6,230 cc, 8 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
Induction: Naturally aspirated
