An iconic creation by H.J. Mulliner, it stands as one of the finest and most desirable cars from the golden era of automotive design. Delivered new to Mr. James Trigg of “Llanfair,” Bel Royal, Jersey, on 4th December 1957, this exquisite Bentley was originally registered in Jersey before being re-registered in the UK on 1st March 1960 with the highly coveted registration number DLV 1. It later adopted the plate YSY 573 in 1997 under the ownership of Icky Kurgan, before receiving its current registration, 7TU, when purchased by the current owner in 2012. With a rich and fascinating ownership history, this Bentley S1 Continental Fastback has passed through the hands of a select group of prestigious owners. Perhaps most notable is Jeremy Sinclair CBE, the founding director of Saatchi & Saatchi and a key figure behind landmark advertising campaigns like “Labour Isn’t Working.” Sinclair’s ownership in the 1970s further adds to the allure of this car’s history. In the 1980s, the car became part of the legendary rock and roll story when it was acquired by Roger Daltrey, the iconic frontman of The Who. Daltrey’s ownership ties the car to the very heart of British musical heritage, further cementing its place in automotive legend. After Daltrey, the car passed into the hands of Icky Kurgan, a well-known figure in the classic car world, and has since been expertly maintained by Frank Dale & Stepsons. In 2012, the current owner acquired the car, ensuring it received a thorough mechanical and cosmetic refresh while adding subtle modern upgrades that enhance its usability. These include a discreet hidden reversing camera with a fold-down activation screen and an upgraded radio with MP3 and Bluetooth connectivity, all seamlessly integrated into the car’s elegant design. This Bentley has been consistently cared for, with no expense spared in its maintenance. The service history is comprehensive, with recent work including a thorough service at English Automotive in July 2021, costing £509, and a substantial service in December 2024, totalling £3,340. The car’s history also includes services dating back to June 2013 and February 2014, all ensuring that it performs as beautifully as it looks. Further enhancing its appeal, this Bentley S1 Continental Fastback was awarded Best Post-War Bentley at the prestigious Hampton Court Concours 2020 – a testament to the car’s exceptional quality and originality. The combination of its impeccable design, carefully preserved history, and modern enhancements make it an extraordinary example of automotive artistry, perfect for the discerning collector who appreciates both heritage and innovation. With only eight “real” owners and an incredibly rich and varied ownership history, including luminaries such as Jeremy Sinclair and Roger Daltrey, this Bentley offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique and sought-after piece of motoring history.
