About this car

This 1960 Bentley S2 is the four-door Standard Steel saloon, the regular production body rather than a coachbuilt special. Chassis number B190BS, registered VNR800.

It has been through a nut-and-bolt, body-off restoration, documented in a photographic file. The chassis was restored to the same standard while the body was removed, and the car has since covered only a few hundred shakedown miles. It is finished in Tudor over Shell Grey.

The original interior hides were in good enough condition to keep. They have been recoloured rather than replaced. The dealer's listing shows the price as accepted, so the car appears to be spoken for.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Bentley/Rolls-Royce factory spec for the 6,230 cc L-series V8 built at Crewe. Rolls-Royce gave power only as 'adequate', so bhp is null. No official weight or performance figures were published (only magazine test figures exist), so those are null too.).

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