...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..... 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... All headlights, driving /fog lights, tail / brake / signal lights operate properly, as well as all dashboard and interior lights. 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. Good luck!!!!

Ian Fleming's Bentley R-Type rediscovered in an L.A. garage
Wed, Nov 25 2015James Bond creator Ian Fleming commissioned a left-hand-drive 1953 Bentley R-Type Continental Fastback in Deep Grey with black Connolly leather as a gift for his American friend Ivar Felix Bryce. Fleming's choice of that car was probably no accident: Bond drove an R-Type Continental in the book Thunderball – one he bought as a wreck and restored, and he had it done up in gray with black leather. In Skyfall, this is the car that would have been behind that garage door. Gullwing Motor Cars recently discovered the real-life car wasting away in a garage in Hancock Park, Los Angeles for nearly 30 years. Bryce was Fleming's inspiration for CIA agent Felix Leiter in the Bond books. The US agent showed up in six installments in the series starting with Casino Royale, bowing out in The Man with the Golden Gun. Just as cool as the Fleming/Bond connection is this car's connection to the Bentleys of today. This was the "Speed" of its time, and like Continental GT Speed of one today, it was the fastest production four-seater in the world. A review of the time said, "it is difficult to put into words the gulf that separates a Continental from the average car in all the qualities that have a bearing on safety at speed." And you can see where those outboard lights on today's Bentleys come from. The Continental designation signified a power upgrade over the standard R-Type, and Fleming built it up with extras like rear spats, lightweight seats, fitted luggage, and a racehorse mascot. The Bryces flew their gift around the world to their various homes in England, Nassau, New York, and Vermont. After they sold it the coupe had several owners, ending up in the hands of a Beverly Hills surgeon in 1978, and according to Gullwing it's been sitting in a garage almost since that time. It has matching numbers and the original interior, and Gullwing says, putting it mildly, it is "an ideal restoration candidate." The asking price is $1,495,000, which is quite the premium for pedigree. Hagerty values a pristine example at $1.4 million, and two recent pristine examples have been sold by RM Auctions for $1.2M and Bonham's for $822,000. This Fleming car one went to auction at Pebble this year with an estimate of $1.4M - $1.8M but didn't sell, so don't be afraid to ask a few hard MI6-like questions about it if you're interested.
New Bentley Continental GT3 race car looks beautiful and brutal
Thu, Nov 9 2017Bentley has been building and racing GT3-class versions of the Continental GT since about 2013. As such, it's really no surprise that Bentley would create one based on the newest Continental GT, as seen above. Still, we're glad to see it, especially because it looks really mean, and better than the outgoing racer. Part of the design improvements are due simply to the new road car's looks. The lower, wider grille, and tidier, less bulbous tail do a lot to make the race car look much lower and more aggressive than the old car. But the racing-specific bodywork is cleaner and more aggressive, too. Large overfenders are fitted both front and rear, and they each have integrated intake vents at the leading and trailing edges. The openings at the front of the front fenders are curved such that they look a bit like angry eyebrows. The rear diffuser looks better integrated with the body now, rather than simply lurking behind a cut-down rear bumper. The big wing with outboard supports is also impressive. Performance-wise, there likely won't be a major difference between this and the outgoing car. It seems power is down a bit to over 550 horsepower rather than over 600 horsepower. Curb weight is estimated to be under 1,300 kg, which is about 2,866 pounds. That's also similar to the old car. Power also continues to come from a twin-turbocharged V8 sending power to the rear wheels. This is a sharp contrast to the road car's twin-turbocharged W12 sending power to all four wheels. For any enterprising racers looking to trade to a new car or get into a GT3, Bentley will begin selling the new Continental GT3 next June. Pricing has not been announced.
