...We are very pleased to offer here a 1958 Bentley S1, Right Hand Drive Standard Steel Saloon. A production figure of only 3538 with possibly half that number remaining ensures that despite a totally recognizable profile, cars of this type are very rarely seen on the road.

It shows 22,417  miles, black with parchment leather. The paint is in excellent to near mint condition.  Interior leather and wood are also excellent. Chrome bumpers and body fittings also excel, near flawless.

The timeless dashboard design here includes excellent wood, and all working gauges, during our testing process. Even the radio turns on (!!)  The oil pressure and temperature gauges all showed proper readings - this particular car was a very rewarding car to drive during our test and adjustment sessions. Our Rolls-Royce / Bentley Expert reported a clean bill of health as well as being very responsive to all the minor adjustments he was making. (On the other hand, he complains loudly when a car is resistant to his expert touch...)

The 4.9 liter engine, as originally installed in this car, is the latest and largest displacement version of this classic design. It appears to have either very low mileage ( as indicated) or a rebuilt engine. Normally the lower engine would have a throrough covering of grease / grime -- however this car has virtually NO coating , in some areas the aluminum castings being completely clear. We did no cleaning in these engine areas, to preserve the condition, so to speak. Other areas on the car that also indicate low mileage include original  dash + interior wood, original headliner, and original leather hides in the interior.

The SU carburetors operate properly, providing the engine with smooth acceleration and running characteristics. The car pulls very strongly, keeping up with any traffic. Enjoyment plus..... photo DSCN1166_zps0817d6e3.jpg

The Rolls-Royce / Hydramatic 4 speed automatic transmission shifts perfectly, also lending credence to an original low mileage. Crisp, positive shifts every time add to the  driving experience.

New original specification Goodyear wide whitewall tires ($$$) add to the overall look... photo DSCN1220_zps08da9c8f.jpg

All headlights, driving /fog  lights, tail / brake / signal lights operate properly, as well as all dashboard and interior lights.  photo DSCN1208_zps3c9b4f13.jpg

The Summary :  We LOVE the car and know the next owner / operator will also. It is a very strong, well cared for car that is among the very best example we have ever seen. We invite and encourage an independent inspection to verify the condition of the car. Whether going to a Car Show, a private garage, or a road trip, we know the car is capable. We have owned, enjoyed and improved the car and have no reservations about offering the car here. Thanks for looking. photo DSCN1204_zpsa466ce76.jpg photo DSCN1229_zpsc8d716bc.jpg photo DSCN1245_zpse6404b57.jpg photo DSCN1231_zps2c428e95.jpg photo DSCN1249_zpsc633a378.jpg photo DSCN1252_zps70569989.jpg photo DSCN1237_zps8f9e183e.jpg photo DSCN1265_zps72b3c871.jpg photo DSCN1225_zps4a17e4c6.jpg photo DSCN1257_zps6923834e.jpg photo DSCN1227_zps53f71330.jpg photo DSCN1270_zps745dab14.jpg photo DSCN1199_zpsf73a6067.jpg

Bentley Bentayga plug-in hybrid spied using V6 power

Fri, Jul 7 2017

Bentley confirmed plans for a plug-in hybrid version of the Bentayga in early 2015 and said the electric SUV would be ready for 2017. It seems that the luxury automaker will keep its word, because one of our spy photographers spotted this nearly undisguised model out testing. It looks identical to the normal Bentayga, with the exception of an additional little flap on the left side for a plug. Although Bentley confirmed the hybrid's development way back in 2015, it left out a few details about what the powertrain would be, only saying it would either be a V8 or a V6. Our spy photographer was able to shed some light on this by looking up the prototype's registration. Apparently it has a 3.0-liter engine under its proud hood, so it's a reasonable bet the Bentayga has a V6. Since Bentley promised the hybrid would be ready for 2017, and because this car is hiding almost nothing, we would expect to see the car make a full debut by the end of the year. It should have an electric range of just over 30 miles.

Now you can order a Bentley with real stone trim

Mon, Jan 4 2016

Order up a new Bentley and you'll have some choices to make. After choosing which model, you'll need to select from over a hundred standard exterior paint colors and a staggering array of trim options – and now, interior stone veneers. Mulliner will now outfit your Bentley with actual stone trim. Now we know what you're probably thinking: stone adds weight. But here's the kicker: Bentley's new stone veneers measure just 0.004 inches thick. That's less than the breadth of a human hair, and (according to the automaker) makes these trim pieces not only very lightweight, but also translucent. The rocks are sourced from quaries in India, cured using fiberglass and resin, and finished by the Mulliner coachbuilding team back at the factory in Crewe, England. Customers will be able to select between a natural finish or in four tints to install on a new Continental or Flying Spur. So if you were hoping for a little extra ballast in your 5,300-lb Bentayga or 6,000-lbs Mulsanne, we're afraid you'll just have to choose a different interior accent. STONE VENEERS BY MULLINER – THE NEXT LEVEL OF MODERN BRITISH LUXURY - Bentley pushes boundaries of cabin luxury with new and rare materials - Lightweight and contemporary feature developed by Mulliner - Four exclusive colours: Galaxy, Autumn White, Terra Red and Copper (Crewe, 04 January, 2016) Bentley Motors' bespoke coach-building division, Mulliner, is introducing the next level of modern British automotive luxury – stone veneers. This innovative interior finish utilises state-of-the-art stone veneer technology to make a luxurious, contemporary feature of a natural product formed over 200 million years. The slate and quartzite stone is sustainably sourced from hand-selected quarries in Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh, India – a nation with an ancient and rich culture of stone masonry. The sections of stone are split from larger pieces and cured using glass fibre and a bespoke resin. Finally, they are shaped and hand finished by Bentley's world-renowned Mulliner coachbuilding team at the company's headquarters in Crewe, England. The stone surfaces of the veneers are just 0.1 mm thick, meaning that they are both extremely light and translucent, allowing the elegant grain and pattern in the stone to be visible to the interior occupants.

Luc Donckerwolke named Director of Design for Bentley

Fri, 14 Sep 2012

Bentley has announced Luc Donckerwolke will take over as the automaker's Director of Design. Donckerwolke started with Volkswagen in 1992 as a designer for Audi. Since then, he's worked with Škoda, Lamborghini and Seat in various design roles. His resume includes helping sketch out both the Lamborghini Murciélago and Gallardo among other notable models.
The designer steps into the vacancy left by Dirk van Braeckel, who has moved on to work with Volkswagen Group design under Walter de Silva.
As you may recall, van Braeckel is responsible for a number of Bentley's most successful models, including both the Continental GT and the Mulsanne. He joined the ultra luxury automaker in 1999. You can take a look at the official announcement below for more information.
