In the mid Fifties, Bentley rolled out the S1 as its flagship full-sized luxury offering. Running for four years between 1955 and 1958, the S1 could be gotten as a four-door sedan, or two-door coupe. These majestic cars represented the conveyance of the well-heeled at the time, and it wasn’t uncommon to see celebrities and prominent personalities alighting from the rear seat of one. This 1958 Bentley S1 is thus a collector’s car, as well as perfect if you want a slice of Fifties luxury in your life. It’s got 97,000 miles under its belt and appears well cared for.
Just look at the Fifties opulence that this 1958 Bentley S1 proudly proclaims in its distinctive Sand and Sable two-tone original paint configuration. Rolling on the requisite set of white-wall tires which are reportedly new, and wrapped around original wheels, it looks every bit the stately cruiser. A new vinyl top is reported, and all brightwork and badging seem to be in good nick. The tan interior on this 1958 Bentley S1 has seen refurbishment in the shape of a new leather interior set that was imported from England. Wood trim abounds the dash, and there are wood picnic tables in the rear as well. The carpets and headliner are reportedly new. All gauges look clear and bright, particularly the interesting speedometer that sweeps anti-clockwise. A push-button radio can be seen in the dash too. The shifter for the automatic gearbox lives just behind the steering wheel in a column shift arrangement, and you can see that it offers a degree of manual shifting as well, which must have been a superb novelty at the time. The padded door cards also look in good condition, however rear legroom appears to be a bit average. Pop the trunk and it’s upholstery looks intact as well.
This 1958 Bentley S1 is propelled by a 4.9L straight-six engine with twin SU carburetors, sending drive to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission, which was very rare for the Fifties, when most automatic transmissions still had two or three speeds. Bentley didn’t declare power outputs for the car, but a test by an independent magazine at the time revealed a 103mph top speed and a zero to sixty in around thirteen seconds, not too shabby for a 4,200lb Fifties luxobarge.

Bentley's contemporary models are renowned for their exceptional level of luxury and a touch of sportiness that appeals to those who prefer a more dynamic driving experience. However, it may surprise some to learn that Bentley's design philosophy in the 1950s was not that dissimilar, albeit with a slightly less sporty edge. The Bentley S1, introduced in 1955, was the pinnacle of their full-size luxury sedan range. We are proud to present a beautifully preserved 1956 Bentley S1 Saloon, boasting a mere 46,802 miles on the odometer. This right-hand-drive exemplar of British opulence was crafted by the esteemed coachbuilder, H.J. Mulliner and Company - a company that has earned legendary status in the industry. This exquisite motorcar is perfectly suited for discerning collectors who appreciate the finer things in life and relish the opportunity to enjoy a luxurious ride from either the front or rear seat.

It seems that the majority of cars are built with sportiness in mind. They’re all about setting record lap times and immense cornering speeds. Sometimes though, it is time to take a step back and appreciate the other end of the spectrum. This 2005 Bentley Continental GT with just 48,000 miles on the odometer is not a car you set record lap times in, but perhaps a new Canon Ball record. That’s more its forte. Wafting along the interstate in complete silence is something that most other cars struggle to achieve. With the name synonymous with Bentley for several decades, Bentley has built a reputation for creating one of the best, if not the best grand tourers of all time, and the rest as they say is history.
Bentley is the choice for the discerning luxury car buyer who loves to drive, rather than be driven. That’s why this brand is a bit more towards the tire-smoking, apex-cutting direction, unlike Rolls-Royce, who frown upon such shenanigans. While the brand makes some superb full-size luxury sedans, grand tourers and even an SUV today, why not sample some old-school, modern-classic Bentley magic. Consider this 1999 Bentley Arnage Green Label as the perfect partner to do so. It’s got under 77,000 miles on the clock, and comes to you with two keys. Morevoer, the current owner tells us that it’s received an oil and filter change, plus an HVAC system servicing in August 2024.
